I'm the greatest, something like Ali in his prime
Definitely not suicide. Y'all still don't get how special bud is. And canelo is not the same. 5 years ago for sure. But canelo is ripe for the taking. But I'll wait and see how he looks vs jermell first. Maybe he really has another great run in him. Obviously this is gonna be walking a tight rope for bud. But if anybody can do it it's him. His foot and handspeed. Combined with his cardio. He's giving canelo serious problems. Come in around 163 to keep his speed up.

Regardless this fight would be historic. Can't hate on bud for wanting it. Great fighters live for these matchups. It's what they dream of. And if he loses there's no shame in it.
I get how special how Bud is but that athleticism won't carry up to 168, not to mention the guy is in his late 30s. Canelo may be on the decline but Bud won't be able to take advantage of it. The guy is too small for 168 and he'll find out if he steps in the ring with Canelo. Crawford won't be able to keep Canelx off him on the same way he did Spence.

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
Nothing else excites bud. When you're in a mega fight like bud was just in you wanna keep chasing that rush. He probably couldn't get motivated for anything less anymore. I would rather him still get undisputed at 154 first. But I understand why he wants to make that leap. Dude wants to leave the sport doing something crazy. It's what makes him different.
This is a crazy leap though.. This is bigger than when Pac fought at super feather to fight Oscar the same year at ww.. I feel you on him wanting to catch a rush but it's just too dangerous imo and not worth it.. Crawford just said the other day that there's a reason we have weight classes I wish he would just stick to his guns.. Hell if you want a big fight so bad call Tank Davis bluff 1st.. Exhaust your options.. Dont crash out for a bag.. Same goes for Jermell.. He shoulda just fought Tzsyu then caught Crawford at 154.. this thing with Canelo to me is a sick obsession.. Let thay boy live :what:

Yea I will say it's interesting to see the change in perspective over the last week. But honestly I don't think bud ever thought a canelo fight was realistic. And he probably just sat down over the past week and really contemplated it from top to bottom. And believes he can pull it off. It's highly dangerous for sure. But that's what will make the world tune in.

Bud wants that 3 time undisputed tag more than anything. And he obviously has no interest in a tszu fight. It would probably be the best fight for him to take next. But don't think it really excites him. Personally I would want him to get undisputed at 154 first. See how he can handle that size first. Then potentially move up to 168. And become 4 time undisputed. But the way he's talking he wants to do something never seen before.

Breh you're an Antonio Margarito stan, you really dont wanna go there 🤣

Next time if you don't want us discussing what Floyd said, maybe don't post it lol

This Hopgood kid was damn near 6ft but fighting like he's 5'5. That's why he lost. Lil Hawaiian bruh was able to get inside and do work.
