    He should be generous to boots if that’s the case!

    Impressive opponent for Crawford. Looking forward if it ever happens

    Makes little sense though compared to other opponents

    Oh Come on, Janibek has done nothing to earn a mega payday with Bud Crawford.

    Umm shouldn't they wait until AFTER Janibek fights Erislandy Lara? I don't think it's warranted to even offer Crawford anything if we haven't even seen how Janibek looks against Lara. These guys need to pump the brakes before trying to jump in on to a big fight right away without knowing how everything goes. For all I know Janibek could end up looking like absolute crap against an old Lara or perhaps even lose.

    Boots, Janibek, and Jermell would be the fights I’d be interested in, in order of most to least interesting.

    The latter is mostly dependant on if Jermell comes to win or shows up like he did vs Canelo. I think Bud wins either way, but it could be an exciting bout. May be a bit of a grudge match.

    Cannot see Bud fighting any of those guys,,he'd be stepping down a level at this stage of his career at age 38. And what exactly have those guys done to earn a mega payday with Crawford?

    Janibek is too much for Crawford right now.

    This could undo all of Terence's hard work recently achieved

    I agree for the most part, I just mean those are the fights I'd be interested in seeing. Finanmcially after the Canelo figth, there's nothing that would make sense for him.

    A fight with Janibek could earn him a 160 title which he doesn't have to his name.

    Which of either fighter's previous fights were rigged?.

    I swear some of the silliest things are said in these forums.

    He was only one of 3 male boxers to become undisputed at 2 divisions. He has only been ranked top 5 p4p by every major sanctioning body for the last 10 years. The one sole rival he had at welterweight he dominated in a fashion that NOBODY predicted beyond his coach Bomac. It was a fight that people inquired about but never thought would be a possibility due to them being in 2 different divisions that weren't next to each other.

    Crawford is only the most decorated active fighter today.....you feel he didn't deserve the Canelo fight? That's hilariously ignorant.

    Not really anywhere else that Bud could realistically go from here apart from a Canelo rematch. Moving down and fighting Janibek/Adames would be a MAJOR step down financially, but could be realistically winnable fights (unlike him moving up and fighting Bivol) that would even further enhance his legacy.

    I think Janibek beats anyone at 160, Crawford included. He would beat Canelo up easily.
