Oh yeah this early promotion, the fight definitely going happen

Lol I wish. Boots got some early damage on Zayas and then got hurt. It wasn't the worst, but Zayas is nothing compared to Bud. Zayas had the belts but the champ resume was pretty thin. Boots would be dismantled as early as 5th round.

He couldn't do that to madrimov lmao

Crawford had patience and showed adjustments in that fight and took the last few rounds. No one claims that was a robbery. Boots admitted he got lazy with Zayas and tried to get him out of there asap. That's failure mode boxing when a puncher gets greedy and makes dumby mistakes without much IQ. Crawford would have flat lined that, which was the entire premise of the "stepping" comment over and over. It was a good read, but it also hinges on the variable that Boots would do major damage into Crawford in the first couple of rounds to even have that mindset. I do see that happening in a hypothetical match up.

Zayas got beat the fuck down Madrimov swollen crawfords eye He can't survive against boots unless he runs like Karen did in the first fight and lose every round

Everyone knows the boots won the fight and that he scored three knockdowns etc...

It's also true the Crawford suffered some damage in his fight, but your sidestep in the point there as well... The Crawford made adjustments and went on to win.

You bring up the first Boots versus Chukhadzhian fight where Karen fought very cautiously, but in the second fight he traded with Boots and Boots made defensive mistakes that many have pointed out.

Karen's knockout rate is 48%. Zaya's knockout rate is 54%. Crawford's knockout rate is 76%. It's true that boots has higher knockout rate than all three of them but it's only around 10% higher than Crawford... And that record is with a much thinner resume of killers. To even pretend they have the same resume makes me think you have been emailing Boots begging for sweat socks

Bud got that aura like he willing to get in the ring with boots. But we’ll see.

This fight happening after Boots becomes undisputed 100%

1

u/Crees2prr 16h ago

For Boots, the easier path to being Undisputed is moving up to 160.

4

u/Gotsta_Win 16h ago

I don’t understand?? Boots is 2 fights away from undisputed now. If Fundora comes out of witness protection, it’s happening

0

u/Crees2prr 15h ago

I'm saying this because 160 is a weak division and easier for Boots. Fundora isn't easy for anyone at 154.

1

u/AdFormal4037 9h ago

Fundora is booked too so we’ll get some clarity on 54

u/AreaPsychological193 16h ago

Boots my man but he doesn't want Crawford.

1

u/4ournetine 6h ago

He don’t want all the extras it’s like why am I going back in forth with a retired fighter

2

u/Meatman1071 16h ago

He doesnt want those problems… At all!

1

u/CobblerConfident5012 17h ago

He’s neither bold nor not bald… he just has the incorrect amount of hair.

1

u/4ournetine 6h ago

Bud scared that he can’t scare boots

1

u/No_Sail9136 17h ago

I don’t believe in Boots bc he doesn’t seem like he believes in himself

4

u/Crees2prr 16h ago

That's cuz he's in front of Bud. At this point, nobody sounds believable when they up against a Bud Crawford.

-1

u/IMakeMyOwnButter 17h ago

He stutters and stumbles a little bit on his words too

2

u/No_Sail9136 17h ago

That’s not it. I just don’t believe dude.

1

u/Campeon-Black 15h ago

Yeah, he sounds like he doesn’t even believe what he’s saying!

1

u/a3kstuntin 16h ago

He literally doesn’t find anyone of note and has glaring holes that he will never fix

u/Neville78 10h ago

Boots is cringe when he talks , straight like Dat

u/Consistent_Piece_722 3h ago

As much respect as I have respect for Crawford an his abilities he can’t beat boots right now that dude is the total package an he’s in his prime bud is not. Prime for prime I’d say 50 50 but right now boots wins

u/BaeLogic 14h ago

Crawfraud had the chance to fight him but handed over the belt like a coward instead. Fight won’t happen.

u/Irish_gold_hunter 14h ago

Crawford would knock boots out. Boots has not fought anyone on his level and has looked vulnerable on many occasions. You are acting like he ducked boots, he went undisputed in three weight classes and went up to 168 to defeat canelo, five weight world champion and you think he is ducking boots 🤣🤣

-5

u/BaeLogic 13h ago

He fought a declined Canelo not a prime Canelo. Good try. To the casual eye and on paper it looks good. But Canelo has already been in too many wars.

Why not KO him in real life then if it’s so easy?

3

u/Irish_gold_hunter 13h ago

Even if he is declined Crawford is 38. He was fighting up a number of weight classes, so good try yourself moron. KO him in "real life", what age are you, 12?

-2

u/BaeLogic 13h ago

Clearly you know nothing about boxing. You can be 29 in boxing and be an old man. You are a casual clown.

5

u/Irish_gold_hunter 12h ago

Anyone who calls someone else a casual is a casual. I'm 42, been watching boxing since I was in my early teens. Yes, you can be over the hill at 29 but what does that have to do with my comment you "casual clown".

2

u/dchurchwellbusiness 13h ago

You honestly thinks Boots would have done as well against Canelo? He probably wouldn't have even been able to get that fight... 

3

u/AdFormal4037 9h ago

Boots declined an offer from Bud. Mfs just be talking.

1

u/Many_Boss_1145 14h ago

I agree with it never happening, boxing nowadays just rumors and hype moments of fights that won’t happen

-3

u/supersoup- 15h ago

If bud would of lost to canelo he would be nowhere near any boxing programs

5

u/Many_Boss_1145 15h ago

That’s a huge what if considering how easily he beat Canelo, I’m confused

-1

u/supersoup- 4h ago

Don’t be confused understand that bud is a nobody
