    I'm sure I am in the minority with this, But I think he takes a beating from Duran.

    Can't wait to see if opinions change after the Nelo fight.

    They will if he wins. I'm still of the opinion that's a touch over rated. There is a lot of padding on his list of wins and he's a huge weight bully. I don't give him much credit for Brook and Khan or even Ava but he's an excellent offensive fighter who's beaten whats in front of him and Porter, Spence are good wins

    I think the 4 kings at their best would all bring something Bud would struggle with.

    I don't see him beating Hagler, or Hearns I think his best chance might be Leonard just in terms of size and the fact Ray wasn't a big guy. I'm torn on Duran would Bud's offense stop Roberto getting inside where he would need to be and Bud's size advantage could make it ugly inside. Then again Barkley had that had got his ass kicked but Bud has much more skill than Iran.

    Bud's held in really high regard excellent fighter no doubt about it..Dont think he's on the level of the greats.

    Many opinions will change after Canelo fight but not mine. Hagler and Leonard still beat Crawford even if Bud dominates Canelo. Leonard speed and mobility alone will be a problem for Crawford. I will narrowly favor Crawford over Hearns and Duran if he manages to beat Canelo, but then again Hearns beat Vergil Hill

    Not Leonard. Madrimov did better than Canelo because styles make fights. Canelo likes plodders such as Spence and Alverez
