Ok so you don't want him to fight Boots because he essentially gains nothing fighting him?

The Charlo vs Canelo fight and this upcoming Mendoza vs Tszyu fight has really gave clarity to the 154 division. There is a great path for Crawford to take to be Undisputed at 154

If charlo moves to 160 things get interesting.

If Bud beats spence i can see charlo staying, if spence wins i see charlo going to 160.

Spence is 3 at 154, if it wasnt for this rematch he and Lubin could fight for Charlos WBC belt if charlo gives it up and then unify with a tim/mandoza winner.

I saw the other day WBO said Bud is free to challenge the tim vs mandoza winner if he wants

Both of these were always fun to watch. Got to Alvarado fight about 6 or 7 years ago.

Mike's management fukked up by putting him in against Ruslan and Rios in both of his homecoming fights.

He was fighting a meth addiction, too, if I'm not mistaken.


Rios & Alvarado also gave us some brutal weigh in pics.

It felt like the ref should have let him have his 1 minute rest but why would Wood risk to rematch him after he was getting beaten up until the stoppage in the first time?

Is the money much better than it would be against Cordina? That’s at least a title fight even though Cordina fukks him up.
The Warrington rematch would be a non-title fight at 130 and he’d give the chance to Warrington to even the score which can easily happen.

I think the money is too good to pass up and if could be even bigger consider how the fight went and how it ended.

Wilder really didn't have to rematch Ortiz but he did and a big part of that is because of the perceived notion that Ortiz was probably beating him in the first fight before he laid him out.
