    I rate Crawford higher than you, that much is now clear. I'm frustrated he's been so inactive.

    No idea what Jermell has to do with anything? Or Lion's lol. What's going on?

    Crawford told Jermell "youre next" and taunted him and challenged him during the Spence fight. Crawford has called out Jermell seeing how Bud wants 3x undisputed.

    I also dont like that Bud is inactive but there are no fights for him. Ideal scenario is Tszyu wins and Bud/Tszyu fight in late summer.

    Bud then fights Jermell in winter or early spring to unify before retiring.

    Would be dope

    I mention Ennis because it's an easy fight to make since Ennis was his mandatory challenger.

    I'd rather see him go for glory against Canelo.

    Honestly it’s because of the money the stars made fighting other stars back in the day. He doesn’t need a stay busy fight or so he thinks. Dude isn’t exactly fighting to put food on the table.

    Should be a yearly tournament to see who is the best boxer per weight class that year.

    It's isn't for not trying. He's lined up for the winner of tonight's fight, problem is if Tim wins they'll send Bud on the politic roller coaster and he'll retire instead.

    Boxing is more about business than sport. If there was just one title per division and the best had to fight the best, boxing would be much better. UFC structure is spot on.

    ...Crawford couldn't fight Ennis cause he. was contractually required to rematch Spence...something the whole world knew about. And despite that the IBF stripped Bud a mere 2-3 months after becoming undisputed. IBF was mad Bud didnt agree to fight Boots but Bud literally could not as he was contractually required to make the Spence rematch. Also, when Bud fought Avanyesan (or however its spelled) Bud first offered Ennis that fight. Team Ennis turned that down saying they were "loyal to Showtime".

    Unless I am missing something and while I am big AJ and Spence Jr supporter I for one don’t think either Usyk or Bud Crawford have done anything wrong.

    Well now Zoo and Fundora are going to rematch so we need see Crawford fighting instead of wasting away in the sidelines.

    This is the problem when people wait for big fights, it's too unpredictable.

    Stay busy against Ennis is the solution.

    Usyk was undisputed champion, I don't remember any criticism of him getting a title shot.

    I remember some thinking he wouldn't stand up to AJs power but I thought the opposite was more likely.
