    Yup, Ennis is another one that is a lock to be an elite fighter. I agree, both possibly piece up Crawford, and Bud is one of my favorite fighters.

    Crawford's extremely soft resume leaves it open to debate. There isn't one guy on Crawford's resume that Ennis wouldn't smoke.

    Ellis or Ennis? I’ve only seen the Ellis guy and he wont be a top fighter. I’d pick plenty of guys in Crawfords resume to stop him.

    Ennis, I think I was getting Ellis mixed up with another up and coming dude. Ennis would absolutely destroy Postol, and Horn.

    Spence before? Yes. Spence now? No. Need to see Spence take a test fight to see if he's ok.

    Soooo fighting a risky fight for no belt and pushing for a unification with Spence or Pac Is shameful ducking? I don't agree. Id love to see the fight because Porter brings it every fight but its a fight id rather see after Bud fights Pac or Spence.

    The Spence and Crawford fight will never be as deciding as it could have been because Spence has a built in excuse, whether he wants it or not. Several people on this forum are already alluding to that fact. That alone makes the fight less appealing to me. It's not Crawford who has to show that he's worthy because his skills are undeniable and he don't need to jump through hoops for Spence. If he fought Porter, it would most likely be Porter's first knockout loss. That would make Porter a gatekeeper and Crawford don't want to put him in that position. Crawford values friendships but Spence didn't have any problem with jumping in the ring on Porter and calling him out and they also were friends. That's the difference between Crawford and Spence. Spence is not scared of Crawford but he is more about that money and Crawford is more about that respect.

    This means a lot. I was next in line to crucify Bud, but hearing him refer to Sean as a friend reminds me of how Andre & Andre didn't mention each other during Super 6- since they grew up as kids & fighting different weight classes back then.

    It still doesn't help, but hurt Crawford to say no. But I think I understand he said he aint feelin' it isn't a diss. He aint feelin' it. I feel him.

    You do yourself a disservice everytime you quote Bob Arum who everyone who knows anything about him knows he was born a liar.
    Mr. "Yesterday I was lying today I'm telling the truth!"
    Its comic when you quote a man like Arum in trying to make a point.

    It was an unequivacle complete duck.
    Mayweather had the opportunity and could have faced either Margarito or Paul Williams during the span of a couple of years before his first retirement.
    Margarito had been calling out Mayweather right before Mayweather fought Zab Judah who had already lost to Baldomir. Then Mayweather fights Badomir, DLH, Hatton, and then outright retires unwilling to face the two best welterweights on the planet during that span in Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams.
    Mayweather only unretires when both Margarito and Williams are out of the way fighting as Middleweights, and who does Mayweather chose to fight??? A natural featherweight that was now a lightweight champion who was moving up two weight divisions to fight Floyd Mayweather at a catchweight Mayweather didn't honor. LOL!!!!
    I'm not quoting Bob Arum here, thist my friend is a fact!

    I present facts you come with bull**** typical of a hater like you. The truth is Arum undervalued PBF and that money PBF wanted from him seems like pennies on the dollar considering he made like 25 million against Oscar and 40 million each against Hatton and Cotto. If Arum had it do over again I bet you he would have paid PBF what he wanted.

    Margo was a ****ing nobody a mere WBO belt holder he wasn't the champ or even a name fighter PBF had bigger fish to fry after he left Arum than that bum. Margo lost to Williams and Williams after he beat Margo lost to Quintana re matched him and moved up to 160 when could these fights have happened? Before or after Margo got his brains beat in by Mosley a guy PBF damn near shut out.:deal: If you think a bum like Margo kept PBF in retirement when lesser fighters than him beat him then you're even dumber than I thought you were. A guy like Margo is a wet dream or a complete fighter like PBF, he's slow has no jab has no defense he's a slow starter. You'e nothing more than a wishful thinking hating fool for even suggesting this. PBF would shut the guy out and afterwards you;d be full of excuses saying he needs to fight the next guy, rinse and repeat. Margo is trash and a disgraced glove loading cheat who never had a win of note after being busted for loaded wraps, find a better fighter than him to hold over PBF's head dumbass. PBF wouldn't lose a round to that mummy. PBF fought an ATG in JMM for a tune up after a long layoff that's how great he was, a guy Pac never beat clearly and KHTFO was a tune up fight for PBF now let that sink in.:deal:
