Facts
Dude could easily fight Ortiz, Tszyu, or Boots and each fight would be huge, all while Spence gets his shyt together...but

we all know he likes that easy money and will wait until Spence is ready.

That fact some nikkas refer to him as an ATG just makes me go :russ:


Why did Vergil Ortiz deny to fight Crawford when given an offer THREE TIMES
Why did Boots deny to fight Crawford when given an offer December 2021

Enlighten me:jbhmm:

I have no beef with this.
Seems like they left Bud at P4P nr 1 and made Inoue foty.
That's stupid to me, Bud was ranked behind Inoue on P4P lists before the Spence fight. If that win was enough to keep him P4P 1 over Inoue then how is Inoue fighter of the year? Or if you want to turn it around, if Inoue's two wins were enough to get him foty then how didn't he get ahead of Bud on their P4P list? They shouldn't pander to everybody just take their pick and stick to it.

Imo a few years from now looking back to 2023 it will be obvious that the highlight of the year and the most impressive thing anyone has done in the year gonna be Bud superbly beating Spence. The idea that Inoue beating Tapales in a win expected by everyone in a fight that only held interest because Tapales had one belt somehow putting him over the line to be foty over Bud who literally destroyed a fellow P4P guy in the fight of a generation is funny to me.
