    This is literally the definition of revisionist bullsh*t. Yall PBC nutboys were singing praise for years reciting anything Floyd said...calling Errol an ATG. Now he's hust some hypejob.

    Hilarious

    Stanionis has better fundamentals. Ennis, just like Ortiz, gets hit a lot.

    I didn't move any goalposts at all and I didn't consider Spence no ''boogeyman.'' How can I be moving the goalposts when I've been saying for ages, long before the fight between Crawford and Spence, that the winner would duck the actual boogeyman Super Boots and it's looking like once again I'm going to be proven right.

    I've also been saying for ages that Super Boots would knock Spence spark out if he fought him. Hence why he didn't want that smoke and was more interested in cleaning out 147 of all its career 140 pounders, most of whom were featherfists or average punchers at best instead of facing the young hungry power punching fast athletic phenom Super Boots. I knew Spence would pull the duck but I actually gave Crawford the benefit of doubt because he's a dog.

    No one wants to see a rematch with Spence and Jermello is fighting Clenelo next so Crawford should either face the in his own words ''deserving'' Super Boots or failing that at the very least fight Stan. Problem is Stan who has already had to step aside twice now won't have fought in going on 2 years if he defends against him next. If not vacate. Simple.

    I've said for the longest time Spence is nothing special, you're right some guys have changed their tune and are selling Spence down the river to degrade Crawford and I agree, it's pathetic and hilarious, but I for one have never seen anything special from Spence. I don't shill for any promotion or network, try again

    Spence is a very good fighter. He just doesn't possess P4P top 10 talent and skills and never deserved to be ranked top 5 P4P by credible outlets or the ridiculous #1 or #2 spot countless fans have afforded him going way back. This has always been my position as has Crawford being one of the most skilled and best fighters in the sport and me having him top 3 P4P for a long time.

    Nah. It'll be the same sh!t coming directly from your mouth. Bud beats Boots and its "well, he didnt beat nobody" or "he was all hype" or "he wasn't even a champion".

    The reality is Boots wont get Spence or Boots and its definitively NOT due to ducking. He doesnt bring any money and beating him does very little for legacy as Boots just hasnt accomplished anything yet, sadly.

    The same way Bud was blocked out by Spence, Porter, Thurman, and Danny is what Boots experiencing now. At least Bud has been fighting people but Spence was on the sidelines in the same way Thurman and Danny Garcia have been.

    Bud could fight Tsyzu at 154 then unify w Jermell at 154 (although I dont think he's coming back to 154). Other than that Bud could hope to unify at 154 but aside from Jermell he has no marquee fights left.

    Don't tell me what will be directly coming from my mouth. Everything I said in my previous post has been coming directly from my mouth for ages:

    How Spence whilst good is overrated and certainly not top 5 P4P worthy.

    How I don't like the way he reacts to getting hit.

    How he wants no part of Super Boots and that he'll get smoked by him if ever dared step foot in a ring with him.

    I've been saying that Super Boots beats Crawford too albeit I give Crawford a better chance against him than I do Spence. I think there's a good chance he knocks Crawford out too.

    And I've been saying I strongly suspect the winner of Crawford and Spence will duck Super Boots like he has leprosy.

    I've also been saying that Super Boots is the truth. He's clearly not your regular fighter and it's plain to see there's something different about him, like he might have some British ancestry or something.

    He has great speed, power, skill, athleticism, length, fluidity, shot selection etc. Hence why I, Lord Serge, Serge The Great, coined the name Super Boots for him and refer to him as such :facepalm:

    I've never referred to Spence as Super Spence :facepalm:

    I've also been saying that Crawford is one of the three most skilled fighters in the sport for ages too. Four now that Inoue has joined the club.

    I've never picked Crawford to lose any of his fights, primarily because he's an excellent fighter but also because his opposition has been pretty weak. He's never seen anything like Super Boots before and if he faces him, let alone beats him I'll give him credit for doing so even though Super Boots through no fault of his own hasn't had the opportunity to prove his talent at the top level because those guys don't want that smoke.

    He's at worst the second most talented and dangerous fighter at that weight and Crawford obviously rates him very highly because he says has since the amateurs and that he sees a lot of himself in him.

    He's also the most deserving of a shot at Crawford along with Stan and he's Crawford's mandatory challenger. If Crawford doesn't want that smoke he can vacate the belt.

    Everyone knows Benavidez is, at worst, the second best 168 pounder and that him vs Clenelo is the fight to make at that weight but the later wants no part of him

    So I guess Ricky Burns should never have given Crawford his shot either? Indongo should've never taken his two belts over to face Crawford on his home soil? Jeffrey Horn should never have fought Crawford on his soil seeing as he was the champ not Crawford?

    They did Stan the man dirty or he did it himself. Gotta stay active and get fights in to stay sharp, Ennis has been fighting regularly and you don't want to go into big fights rusty. I think Stan can make it tough and beat him as he's good at picking off shots and getting his in between, also he works the body.

    Seems to me the more casual opinion is the idea that Spence was ever anything more than a good fighter, what did he do to distinguish himself? He has some pretty good wins, that's about the best thing I can say about Spence

    When Crawford was climbing that mountain trying to get to where he is today, none of them fighters yall saying he should fight wanted that smoke. Now that he has reached the summit and earned the right to pick and choose, people wanna say he's ducking. He has conquered 147 and there is no doubt about it. He wants money fights now and he deserves it. He's going after Charlo and Charlo ain't no slouch, no matter who says he is. His resume speaks to that. I don't think it's wise for him to fight Tank at 147 because everybody knows that Tank is too small but it would be a big money fight and that's what he's about now. If Tank wants to get knocked out for big money then so be it. I don't see how anybody in real mode can think that Crawford is acting outta fear. Yall acting like people do when one of their fellow workers gets a promotion. They start hatin on him. Crawford is no longer a grinder. He has promoted himself. He is now management. Deal with it.
