    Bud hasnt had the career defining fights Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Robinson, etc, had. The win over Spence was so lopsided as one has to wonder if the era of welters is pretty poor? If Spence was second best, or the best of all others, what does that say about the era?

    Spence looked slow, plodding, and (ffs) had no answer to a stiff jab!!!

    Yall getting carried away with bud place in history.

    Like @Pimp C noted, Spence was a dead man walking and looked like an AIDS patient on his way to the ring. He done died on the scales.

    When Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Hagler fought, we knew it was a golden era...

    Bud fights Errol.. Golden era? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    So what your are saying is,.. if Bud had more trouble with Errol, it would have gone more towards his legacy..?

    Welterweight has been poor for years. I've been saying it for a while.

    No dog in this fight. Dont care who won. My observation of his eyes was they were off colour. Perhaps they always are?

    You can't even use your own words, instead you lie about what another poster @Pimp C said to try to give your false narrative some credit. Pimp never stated Spence looked drained because Spence looked like he usually looked.

    You need psychological help.

    Yeah this era does lacks depth, you've basically only had Crawford and Spence on top since 2018 when Crawford moved up, then below them a 40 year old plus Pacquiao, Thurman and Porter making up the top 5 of this era.

    Compare that to when we had Mayweather, prime Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto and Margarito in the late 00's as the top 5 or in the late 90 we had De La Hoya, Trinidad, Quartey, Whitaker and James Page as the top 5.

    Really? James page would be another Danny Garcia or Mikey Garcia in this era.

    Lol you focused on James Page but what about the other 4 who would beat everyone in this era apart from maybe Crawford.

    With the performance Crawford put on I don't even think it's a "maybe" anymore

    This is how much of a low life piece of crap this guy is. PimpC never said that. Yet he will post it with no shame.

    Hes done as well as could be expected, its not his fault spence wouldnt fight him sooner or that PBC tried to freeze him out.

    Leonards Legacy at WW is against a LW and another WW.

    Haglers legacy at MW is against two former WWs

    Its kind of a circular argument where they "make each other great" because they all had the opportunity to fight each other without modern boxing politics and BS.

    Although i agree weve had several better WW eras than the current one.

    Late 90s to late 2000s was stacked.

    This era kind of reminds me of the early 90s WW division before tito came and cleaned it up with guys like simon brown and maurice blocker
