If y'all say Bud's opponents are all bums how can any of those fights be low risk high reward? Get your facts straight.Comment

Mikey Garcia chasing to fight EJ instead of Loma to unify or Bud at 140.
Low risk cuz nobody actually expected Mikey to win. It's a fight that nobody wants to see and nobody's gonna diminish Mikey's skills if he loses. High reward cuz if you move up 2 weight classes and beat EJ, you're p4p #1.
If he had fought Lomachenko, he probably woulda won, but if he'd lost that fight it woulda been a much bigger hit to the resume. Same with Bud.
If Spence does the same thing with Canelo, that'd be another example. GGG the way he's chasing Canelo but not the Charlos, that's another example.Comment

What you’ve basically just said is by losing to the top end fighters - Canelo & Spence - you gain more reward and less risk of hit to your reputation.Mikey Garcia chasing to fight EJ instead of Loma to unify or Bud at 140.

Well of course that’s the case.
If someone beats Joshua or Fury they have a huge gain to their rep , if they lose they were only expected too anyway.
That’s just obvious; beating Loma previously was the same before he suffered a loss. Lopez is up there for fighter of the year as a result.
Crawford is less reward because he isn’t considered the same level because he hasn’t beaten opponents at the top end yet.Comment

The opposite is when you fight a young hungry lion who has a good chance of knocking you off the top of the mountain. Like if Keith had actually defended his belt against EJ.Comment
