Terence Crawford vs Tim Tszyu - Crawford wants Tszyu next ( Tszyu will beat him )

True I remember Pac getting the shaft against Horn. But you've got to admit Vegas are the corruption capital of the world. Everywhere gets the occasional robbery because nothings ever done about it

 

Obviously you don't Olu lol Otherwise you wouldn't still be pushing the Charlo sisters as "Champion till theyre defeated ". That's easy to accomplish just don't defend your titles, that way you can not lose. Lol Same goes for Spence, I feel that wreck has caused that

 

Yup, we're on the same page.

 

Most robberies in Australia have all been in the state of Queensland. New South Wales and Victoria are usually pretty good. Western Australia had some dodgy stuff going on when Danny Green was around but they have been alright in recent years. Not many fights in South Australia or Tasmania so can't really comment on those states.

 

Given Bud’s mandatory status at 154 and the recent noise I think this is a safe bet.

I reckon it happens April/May.

 

I like Tszyu but he had nothing for Crawford; expect a stoppage win in TC's favour.

 

In the case of this happening it would be so long away, i still can't see Spence & Haymon just letting Crawford walk away without some kind of hang up.

 

It´s already been 6 months since Crawford´s last fight.
Such a shame that he only fights once a year.

 

The issue is Crawford doesnt get due credit cause Tszyu isn't fully proven yet. So if Bud is fighting a fringe STAR like Tszyu he might as well just fight Ennis whose also a fringe STAR and he's a WW guy.

...unless the plan is Tszyu then Jermell to unify his 3rd weight class before retiring. Now that would be cool.

 

Am confused how many people have short or selective memories.

It is very, very well known that Spence activated his immediate rematch clause. So Bud couldn't just fight whoever he wanted...he has to wait for Spence. HOWEVER, recent events (Spence eye surgery) indicate Spence may let Bud move on...but that hasnt been confirmed.

If Bud is granted to move on then he's really only had a few weeks to put together a fight..so we'll see what happens.

Also doesnt help that Crawford has horrible timing w promoters cause now he's waiting for PBC to get their act together after their network fired them.

 

The thing is though, Tszyu likes to stay busy. There is no way he waits 6 months to fight Crawford. He'll look for someone to fight in the interim. He fought 3 times last year waiting for Charlo even though he was mandatory and two of those fights (Harrison and Mendoza) were high risk.

Word from Lubin today is that he hasn't pulled out of the Tszyu fight at all so it may be that Tszyu fights Lubin whilst Bud gets his house in order. Either way, Tszyu will almost certainly fight by April/May.

 

Tszyu has a better CV than Ennis and he also has a belt. And the belt is at 154 which is something Bud wants.

I think your last sentence is bang on. Charlo ain't fighting anytime soon so Bud's pathway to all the straps at 154 is Tszyu and then Charlo (if Charlo even fights at 154 again which is doubtful in my opinion).

All Ennis does is pads Bud's CV and gets him paid. Bud is all about legacy at this point and is not taking cashout or stay busy fights (not that Ennis is even remotely a cashout fight). A win over Tszyu is far bigger than a win over Ennis when you are looking at Bud's place in the sport.
