    :lol: Me too. To be fair to Terry, Spence has enacted the rematch so he can't fight Super Boots next. That being said, I don't believe he would even if he was free to do so and after he beats Spence in the rematch I think he'll run up to 154.

    Villa can punch and he did catch him with some clean shots but Villa isn't the quickest and Super Boots sees things in slow motion and is good defensively and riding with shots

    But yeah, I think his chin is decent

    Super Boots will be by far the most dangerous and talented fighter Crawford will have fought if he ever steps foot into a ring with him

    How many skilled athletic phenom, legit bangers/massive punchers, with blazing hand speed and long reaches on here, let alone ones Crawford's size?

    They're a very mediocre bunch in terms of athleticism and power and there ain't many legit bangers there either

    Gamboa is athletic with very fast hands but he was much smaller, doesn't belong at 135, and it was a grotesque size mismatch. And even though he's only stopped like 2 of 13 opponents at 135 IIRC he hurt Crawford badly

    Khan was super quick but he was washed

    Ditto for Brook

    Egis has fast hands, hits really hard, and can match Crawford for size and he dropped him

    They gave it to him because both Terry and Errol held the division up for eons playing the barking dogs either side of the gate game and because none of them wanted to give Super Boots his shot. Stan got screwed over and frozen out too. And because Spence has enacted the rematch because he wants another biblical ass whooping

    I don't think Crawford is scared to death a such, I think he just knows that Super Boots is different, extremely dangerous, and far too risky a proposition for him.

    Both Errol and Terry should be ashamed of running from the hungry super dangerous young lion all this time

    All the people cheering Ennis a champ now are the fans that are the problem w the sport.

    Errol won IBF belt in 2017 and, after 6 years, lost definitively to Bud. Now Bud is stripped 4 months later after having a very public contractual rematch required.

    Its not only a diss to Crawford but also Spence.

    If Crawford had Al Haymon paying the organisation to keep the belt, he'd still have it, and would have it till he stepped into the ring at 154.

    How many mandatories did Spence fight when he had it???

    Crawford is still THE Champion. There is little need to sweat what the alphabet boys do.

    Anybody that thinks Crawford is scared of Boots is truly stuck on stupid. Ain't nothing in Crawford's history supports such a ridiculous assumption. Boxing is nothing like the 70's and 80's. It has become more of a business than a sport. Fighters fight hard to get to that elite level and when they get there, they want to get pald, not thrown back into the trenches. Crawford wants big money fights with big money fighters who like himself have fought their way up to that level. He deserves that. The beauty of it is that they can take all his titles but until one of those freebee belt having fighter beats him, he is still the champ. He is not looking for an easy fight, he is looking for a big money fight. Boots is just a pawn and being used by the IBF. If he were in Crawford's position they would do him the same way. He should have turned down the belt because it don't prove nothing but that he got a free belt. That would have did more for his career than accepting it .

    Crawford was on Million Dollaz Worth of Game pre Spence fight, and spoke to Ennis and his father separately on the phone. Crawford put in on them why they changed focus on orgs, when they could have been his mandatory.
