When Pac wanted to fight Floyd, did he take a bunch of easy touches begging for a fight or did he take on champ after champ and world class opponent after world class opponent constantly?
Marvin Hagler wanted to fight Ray Leonard for years, and he didn't take a bunch of easy fights. Mufukka was fighting Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran in the meantime.
Lennox Lewis never got to fight Riddikk Bowe, but he was constantly fighting tough opponent after tough opponent in the meantime.
Bud literally said 'I'm going to the hall of fame whether they fight me or not, I don't need them they need me.' If they need you so bad Mr. Hall of Famer why are you begging for fights? Like the hubris of this dude to sit here and act like he is above actually trying to compete on a regular basis against the best opponents, when he hasn't had a fight where he wasn't the huge betting favorite or fighting someone who shouldn't be looked at as more than another day at the office since he fought Gamboa YEARS ago bro.
If Spence and Bud swapped they last 5 opponents, Spence would get laughed off the P4P rankings, meanwhile Bud is supposed to be P4P #1 and he has only one arguable legit fight in his career(Gamboa).
