This is based on the version of his opponent that Bud fought. 1. Porter 2. Spence 3. Postol 4. Gamboa 5. Kavaliauskas 6. Avanesyan 7. Horn 8. Benavidez 9. Diaz 10. Brook
Good list. I think Porter should move down to 3 though, that was a worse version of Porter that fought Spence, which he and his camp has admitted. Avanesyan is an underrated win - he is fringe world level and Crawford absolutely annihilated him. I don't know much about Diaz but some people here seem to rate that win quite highly. The problem for Crawford is that there are no real other top, proven fighters around his weight, same with Inoue really.
Spence. Porter. Avenesyan. Kell Brook. Jeff Horn. Only names brave enough to square up with Bud. Them boyz would rather face Spence at 147 than Bud.
Brook was shot to pieces when he fought Crawford, even more than Khan was. Dominic Ingle wasn't training Brook and he was being trained by a former opponent in Spain. It was a much worse version of Brook who fought Spence, when even then he wasn't anywhere near his best due to the weight cut from 160 and GGG destroying him previously.
LMAO Spence and Porter Spence drained, and inactive (1 fight in 2 1/2 years). Porter winning on the cards before dodgy stoppage where he had his legs solid under him Crawford P4P1 ...sure why not
Brook was just money hungry at that point. The sad thing is that if he didnt chase Khan so much for so many years he could have had an even better career at 154lbs IMO and made good money.
