:comeon: fixed it for ya :dead:

Horn gave Pac a similarly tough fight as Thurman breh...

Not saying Bud's resume is great or anything, he really lack an elite win but it also became over hated around here, ppl wanna act like he beat up complete bums while he beat legit, good fighters who made shyt hot for some dudes who are considered better.

Crawford never had a tough fight with a M Herrera, Ugas or J. Lopez level dude.

He beat all of them at least very clear, most of the times dominantly.

I agree but I think neither one wants it "enough" or "urgent enough" not just Bud. Spence has better options I see that but he, Bud, Arum, Haymon, everyone who knows shyt about boxing knows what is the most wanted fight at 147. Both sides can bs about it all they want. And it ain't Spence vs Pac (although I'd be curious of that too).

I'm guessing they will try to build this up as a final showdown at 147. Spence (hopefully) is just 2-3 fight away from that now and if he fights in January next we could get Spence vs Crawford by early 2021 or so. Also depending on whether they can make the Pac fight or not. I can see Pac's team being a little more open about a Spence fight after Spence vs Porter though.
Agree with everything you said, I wish it could happen by next summer though

one thing Wlad Klitschko took it with himself to retirement as the time being is the knowledge of how to fight and put away stocky, pressuring HWs safe and sound.
Someone like Ruiz would have been an easy win for Klitschko, he learned very well how to keep off shorter dudes and punish them. None of these HWs have crazy headmovement either to make it a lot harder.
Fury, Wilder and AJ don't have that kind of skillset and knowledge they are vulnerable against stockier dudes with looping shots over the top, they can't consistently keep them away. Joshua should absolutely seek out for help with Wlad before the Ruiz rematch.

I bet he doesn't but you're right he should and needs to

Bud hasn’t fought anyone as good as Ugas.

Ugas hasn't really accomplished anything for this to be used as an argument. Crawford has beaten like 7-8 cats who were champs..all of them accomplished more than ugas
