    He fought in the fall and he is fighting again in April. He usually fight 3 times a year which is more than most prominent boxers.

    Ok. When is he going to fight someone beyond a resume padder?

    He has fought everyone in his weight classes. He is the first one in 3 decades to hold all four titles at one time. Watch the 140 lb division now that he is gone. When did Danny Garcia leave 140? When Crawford got there. He will fight Horn, then maybe Danny Garcia and then he will fight the winner of Thurman/Spence.

    We’re not talking about fighting everyone in his weight class. We’re talking about his low level of comp. You don’t address that, so you must agree. Wake me up when he fights someone decent. He had trouble getting past Ray Beltran.

    To be fair, he's a former 140 WBO title holder facing the current 147 WBO titleholder in his first forray at WW. After this fight, however, he should face a top contender, unless a unification bout presents itself.

    On his way to clear out his 3rd division.

    TC is the most complete fighter I’ve seen. Name one hole in his game.

    My standards are lower than yours. I just want him to beat someone decent.

    No arguments there....he’s a special talent with a robust arsenal of skills and weapons. Him, Loma and Spence are all exceptional boxers in this era. I have no doubt all 3 of them will Be ATGs when it’s all said and done....barring any career ending injuries.

    James Toney was better in my opinion. He was the most fluid boxer with an incredible instinct I’ve ever seen. He just didn’t have the work eithic to go along with his natural ability and skill set. Loma, Spence and Bud are on level with the best over the last 50 years purely from an ability, Talent and skills perspective. Whether they reach their full potential and have a complete career is another question

    In Pac’s Prime I’m not sure if Bud could have handled Manny. The pac That got KO’d by JMM was not a prime Manny. PAC was so fast, explosive and unorthodox that there were few who could solve the puzzle. Even men much larger with exceptional skills couldn’t over come his natural talent, athleticism and skills. Bud is special, but styles make fights and Manny usually always had the styles advantage

    There are very few holes....he definitely has some defensive liabilities but nothing that are massive holes that are easily exploited. Bud is a very difficult fighter to beat for anyone in or around his weight class
