Stop accusing Bud or Spence of ducking.

Bud called out Spence. Spence said NO go get a belt.
Bud got a belt and then called Spence out. Spence said NO you on the wrong side of the street.
Now Bud said Spence crashed his car, make sure he is OK, have a fight and then we will fight. While that happens I want to fight Pacquiao, the OTHER CHAMPION.
But to a certain section of the Boxing community that is Bud ducking Spence and cherry picking an old man in Pacquiao over top dogs like Thurman.Comment

Yeah I don’t get that too.Obviously he isn’t going to sell himself short at the money table. That’s how big fights works, if he is the only doing the call outs then he has effectively relegate himself as the B-side.
He has done what he was supposed to do, he moved up from 140 after cleaning out there, he was told to get a belt by Spence, he did that at 147 and has stopped everyone he faced at 147 including Horn who Pac-Man couldn’t stop. But he is on the “Other side of the streets” according to Spence.
So anyone insinuating that Crawford doesn’t want the Spence fight isn’t too well vast in the way boxing politics works.
I couldn't agree more.
Just like Bud has said they line em up and he just knocks em down.
I would feel like the A side if i was in Buds shoes aswell.
Hopefully he goes to the PBC and gets Spence in his next fight.Comment

Spence isn’t scared, but he clearly said “I’ll clean out my stable of fighters, then fight bud” in response to buds requesting to fight him. Every single fight bud says he wants to fight Spence. Don’t know what you’re talking about.Comment

Crawford’s recent talk that he doesn’t need Spence to be recognized as an all time great. The best usually don’t talk like that. It could be a negotiating tactic for all I know though.
Spence is fearless, IMO. The man drives his Ferrari like there is no tomorrow and his comeback opponent is no soft touch. You could actually argue Garcia is more dangerous than any of Crawford’s last handful of opponents.Comment

And I think the saddest thing is in buds eyes going to pbc may not even solve the problem. Remember he and manny were in the same stable for years, bud wanted to fight him, arum wouldn’t allow it. Sad storyComment

... Bud may act "almost" like Pac or Canelo did... not that difficult... (little money on the table right now)...Comment

The thing is being a ppv star gives you the big nuts in the room. Bob had to listen to manny, Oscar had to listen to Canelo. Bob can sit bud on the shelf for a year and be ok, he has other similar level fighters in terms of payday. At that point your act might get you burned.Comment
