    I think it would be a good 1st fight for Bud at 154. Bud going up against a decent, young contender. Give us a gauge to see if Bud is as lethal as he was at 47. For TT, win lose or draw, it comes down to how he performs. Even in a losing effort, he wins 4-5 rounds, you know he's close to being on the elite level. Plus, I just think it would be a good fight.

    I think Tim needs a bridging fight to get to Crawford. I don't see Crawford taking him on first-up. If Crawford & Spence rematch in December & Charlo sits out to recover from the Canelo fight, Tim's options would appear to be possibly a title challenge against Canelo or the best available opponent at 154 (maybe Charles Conwell who is ranked highly with both the WBO & WBC). I don't see Charlo being up for re-unification. If Spence loses to Crawford, he might be Tim's best chance of knocking over a Big Doodle. Timmy needs to take out a Big Doodle to get to Crawford by my reckoning. I don't think Crawford will fight Tim solely in order to become three-time Undisputed. But anything's possible. Tim needs to beat Mendoza & then let's see which of the possibilities comes to fruition. Tim might have two belts by then which would strengthen his hand for a Crawford fight.

    Yes great fight in what I believe would be a passing of the torch moment with Tszyu stopping Crawford late in the fight.

    It would be a stupid move for Tszyu's management. He doesn't need to fight established champions. He needs to fight credible but beatable for now.

    Crawford smokes him.

    I understand what you’re saying but tszyu is rugged and tough. He may be able to break Crawford done for a late ko. But Crawford would be a big favourite to win.

    Tszyu would take a bad beating.

    Tszyu would have the balls to go to Omaha and let Crawford pick the date and location.

    Yeah sure! Good fight. Crawdad will probably fight Spence next, see if Charlo recovers from the Canelo fight and comes back down and TT will have some time to get another fight or two in, while he waits. If both are undefeated in their fights, this is a very good one. Sucks because I like both guys but I like boxing more.

    If they fought today, I would pick Crawford. Even though he’s unproven at 154. He’s too skilled and nasty. TT is a good young fighter and he seems to be improving. Not sure if he’s ready for this big a jump.

    Big jump for Timmy but no doubt he would have the stones to do it. The kid has no fear and a monster right hand.
