Bud confirmed he's never going back down to 154 and said LHW is too big, not moving up so....

    Sheeraz very much should have two losses on his record. Against Skeete and Adames, Sheeraz is an example of a hype job.

    And if you can comfortably outbox a great fighter in Canelo, Crawford would embarrass Sheeraz in a mismatch.

    To suggest that Sheeraz could beat Crawford is just idiotic.

    There are eras where someone like Crawford going on a MW campaign would excite me. This ain't one of them. Better than 168 I guess.

    Could have let us have our 175 fantasys a few days before throwing the cold water. Jeez.

    I disagree on watching a rematch.... I wouldn't mind seeing it if it is immediate. I think it would be better than what I saw of the GGG/Canelo 3 bout.

    But I agree, 160 is where he should campaign to end his career. Crawford/Janibek fight is intriguing to me. I think Crawford easily beats Adames and Lara.

    I mean I don’t see how people really think Sheeraz actually beats Crawford.

    Levels to this.

    Wise choice. After seeing what happened to RJJ every boxer should think very carefuly going back in weight after those big jumps.

    He says LHW is too big, but he actually means that Bivol is too good.

    The rematch wont make as much money. That novelty and intrigue of Crawford going to 168 died with the first fight. The fight itself was average. Better and quicker boxer lands scoring punch then moves away from the slower flat footed one. It will be the same in rematch.

    And there are weight classes for a reason too.. you talking about a young 6"4 hungry fighter .. I actually don't want Hamzah to fight Bud because it's unfair in weight and size ..

    Bet you Bud not staying at 168 unless it's a Canelo rematch , the rest of 168 are all young big guys .. Crawford should move down to 160 if he still wants to fight ..

    I think a whole lot of nothing will happen in the next year and he will retire next year.

    He has nothing to prove after that fight. I don't see how the economics work for a second fight.

    I would like to see him retire and become a trainer.

    Canelo still has 2 fights with Turki , and Crawford still hasn't got paid a proper big bag .. he only got $10m for this Canelo fight , with Canelo getting I'm hearing $150m .. that would definitely be different in a rematch ..

    if Crawford can skip weight classes and comfortably beat Canelo, then I'm confident enough that Crawford would school Sheeraz.

    I know you really like Sheeraz a lot but honestly he is just not that good, don't let his undefeated record fool you, please.

    He is an example of one who will end up being a hype job.

    Wrong. Why on earth would he retire when he is finally in the position to cash out with mega pay days? He won't rematch Canelo either.

    Some of these suggestions here are lol. Why on earth would be fight Lara or sheeraz? Think a little harder.
