    What weight does Ennis fight at?

    Did Bud just petition WBO for mandatory shot at Saturdays JMW champ fight? ...So whay weight does Bud effectively fight at?

    If not Fundora the only other option is winner of Culcay/Murta who fight next weekend for IBF belt.

    The only longshot is Jermell as there's beef and he's still WBC champion.

    So its Fundora, winner of Culcay/Murta, or Jermell. Would be legitimately surprised if it was someone else

    Ennis fights at 147 I believe, where Bud is undisputed champion. So I think he should defend his belts whilst he waits for Zoo v Fundora.

    Or would you prefer he vacates his titles and competes at 154 to secure a guaranteed next fight v Fundora (Or Zoo if he pulls the upset)

    It wasn't widespread criticism but I saw quite a few doing it

    I didn't say either did anything wrong. I said if you're going to cast a critical eye over what they did then what Crawford did was way worse but I've only ever seen one person criticize Crawford for doing it. Bit like how we heard all this talk about inactivity to discredit Loma's victory over Walters who'd been out 11 months but not a peep about Loma being inactive for 14 months going into the Teo fight or Gamboa and Postol being out for 12 and like 10 months respectively going into their fights against Crawford even though he was bigger than both and they both fought him in his country with 7 of the 8 officials coming from the US, and Loma fought the much bigger Teo in his backyard with a home ref and three home judges

    Dont know why youre asking me. The WBO president literally said Crawford enacted the WBO rule where a champion within 1 weight class can challenge another champion that takes priority over every other mandatory/ranking. Bud did exactly that.

    Bud will fight Fundora for WBO belt next or Fundora vacates. Its that simple.

    I'm asking you because you think it's that simple.

    Much more likely is Fundora rematches Zoo and Crawford fights in the meantime.

    People criticize anything - thats irrelevant. An undisputed champion moving up 1 weight class immediately becomes the best fighter that's not a champion at that new weight.

    Bud enacted WBO rule and he will get the first championship fight against Fundora or Fundora gets stripped. Thats the reality

    Fundora's own manager said the Tszyu rematch will come after fighting Spence or Crawford w Spence being more likely.

    Not my words nor yours...people that actually have a say...

    You said it's that simple. Time will tell if you're right and it was that simple, or if something else happens in the meantime.

    Either way I want to see Crawford fighting.
