Yeah, Spence needs to sit the fukk down this fall.

Match making scenario since it seems confirmed Tim is being elevated now:

1. Tim vs Bud in Fall
2. Winner Vs Mell in spring for Undisputed
3.Errol has 2 154 fights (depending how damaged he is he can make his debut in Dec with a light touch ) and if he looks good then Fall 24 he steps back into picture for 154 undisputed


Glad Bud being rational now with the promoter shyt saying he know Tr Woulda done the exact thing if they had all the belts.

First time I really heard nikkas talking about "in house fights" was about Top Rank. That's why it was frustrating for the PBC stans to be the ones who originally complained about the practice suddenly advocating for it

Roasting aside my criticisms for Bud were always becuase he RE-SIGNED with TR when he knew the political landscape and he even brings this up in the interview where. He even says Errol didnt have to give him this fight because Errol had all the cards and he coulda just fought Thurman but Errol stood on his promise.

If Bud went to PBC Instead of resigning he could have had his Belt snatching run like Errol and you can argue that makes this even bigger

PBC is anout money NOBODY complains about them who signs so thats why lotta folks felt Bud was complacent getting big payouts for low risk fights.

This is talent aside

Charlo won’t ever be back at 154 win or lose imo…

I think it depends on how he looks.

If Bud can take Tim’s belt at 154 then i see him coming down because Bud vs Charlo is a big pay day.

I feel Bud vs Charlo is biggest if its undisputed vs undisputed in spring 24.

If that doesnt happen I can see Charlo going to 160 if he feels good and does good against canelo

Just purely going back down two divisions in his 30s. He’s a big guy for 154 too, not very oversized but once he put on some muscle to go to 168 I’m skeptical if he’ll ever try to drain himself back to 154

exactly Mell can just go to 160 and ride out the rest of his career (if he beats Cane he = 3x undisputed potentially, he loses and he can still aim for 160 undisputed and be 2x, and regardless even 1 belt he = 2 division champ).

if Mell looks good at 168 and LOSES that is a litmus he would steamroll the entire 160 so why not be the top dog there and then retire (because Canelo is giving him the life changing pay day anyways).
