    Would you give Crawford credit if he did beat Spence?

    Do you give him credit for now beating Porter?

    No,because I barely rate Spence either.

    If he wasn't the beneficiary of Kenny Porter's Montreal Screwjob of his son, maybe.

    Probellum, with who his "advisor" is, but he doesn't seem to have a problem getting fights made with PBC so doubt it'll be an issue

    So if Crawford proves himself the best LW, then the best LWW, then the best WW you still wouldn't be crediting him?

    You didn't even dislike AJ this much lol

    Looking at the post fight interview, im sure greedy bob is going to try to keep Bud at any cost. Well see if he really leaves soon enough but i think bob may lure him into to staying with top rank.

    Come to think of it, you're right. :lol: As much of a fraud as I always thought AJ was, as a person, at least is personality while manufactured, is still palatable. But Crawford is a straight sociopath, he comes across as a profoundly dark, cold, unlikable person. I short, I'd have no problem hanging out with AJ or Spence. I don't think I'd would even want to be in the same room as Crawford. He gives off bad vibes.

    About time. Crawford should have left years ago.

    Saying anything else about the situation would have been dishonest. He kept it classy.

    Doesn't matter who Bud signs with. Aren't you idiots ever gonna learn that fighters will fight who they want to fight?

    There's history we can follow.
    • Lomachenko Vs. Russell Jr. (Haymon)
    • Gvozdyk Vs. Beterbiev (Haymon)
    • Gvozdyk Vs. Stevenson (Haymon)
    • Fury Vs. Wilder II (Haymon)
    • Fury Vs. Wilder III (Haymon)
    • Crawford Vs. Khan (Haymon)
    And um, TERENCE CRAWFORD VS. SHAWN PORTER (Haymon).

    FFS, people. Spence wants no part of Crawford.

    Does mean a future Taylor fight is unlikely?

    Spence still won't fight him.the way he slinked out the arena looked to me like he shat his knickers.

    Looked more like incredulity in Kenny throwin in the towel - but probably an element of realizing that there will be more clamour than ever now for them to get it on.

    But even if Spence can still make 147, he's not gonna come straight back in to fight Bud after that eye op, so guessing he will have a tune-up 1st - but wouldn't be surprised to see him move up
