    I don't think you are reading my entire posts.

    It's ok. We can agree to disagree. I can live with that.

    Cheers.

    Triangle theories need not apply, so no offense, but I will disregard your last paragraph.

    I too think Diaz is a good fight for Bud. He's a solid puncher, he swarms very well against the competition he's faced, seems to have a good chin and + defense and foot work.

    That being said, there hasn't been an opponent recently that bud hasn't solved and adjusted to within the first five rounds. I think Diaz will have problems whether bud is southpaw or orthodox, because he has excellent jabs and check hooks from both sides. If he fights him orthodox, I'd expect bud to use the check hook a lot. I also think Craw has the better; jab, front pivot, back step/turn out, and definitely power.

    I hope this fight gets made, because it on paper seems to be a good one. I'd have Crawford by late KO/TKO.

    You don't seem to be too high on Crawford? Yet you seem knowledgeable about boxing friend. Or are you thinking it's a style mismatch ?

    If Crawford fought and beat Diaz, it would be his 2nd Olympic gold medalist scalp

    I'm honestly not racist. Demographic IS NOT about colour. I've said that too many times, don't call me a racist you fat POS.

    I haven't really been that bad to you and you're 230lbs of fat and you cowardly threaten a weapon assault on some other poster here saying you're willing to go to jail for it - I don't need to tell you how much of a loser you are. Not a midget nor 130lbs. Ground game beats stand up game but we have an old e-gangsta here getting so easily riled up over e-webs. Reset your life and focus on what's bothering you in your personal life before you start crying here.

    Yeah I did and I still am I don't care. BTW **** a ground game it won't beat a stand up game dummy, wrestling is for pussies who can't fight. Come and try it we can throw hands and find out. Now log off and go back to your alt ****boi.

    But ground game is for pussies, I guess. Kimbo a big favourite, though even though he couldn't cut it at the elite level.
