Rumor is this will likely be Bud's next fight. That TR deal is looking worse and worse. Honest Bob is running out of guys. We'll probably see Crawford vs Ramirez after Kavaliauskas. I really like Bud, and I think he's an excellent fighter. It's a shame he'll never become a star, and that he's wasting his prime with TR.
Crawford will show once again why he deserves to be p4p nb 1 when he destroys the highly rated and dangerous Kav*******as (who has a draw against boxing legend ray robinson) in style
Best case scenario next year for Bud would if Prograis gets by Taylor, maybe Arum throws enough money at Regis to set up a Crawford-Prograis matchup. It's not Crawford-Spence, but Regis is a lot better than Horn, Benavidez, washed up Khan, and Kavathrashkus.
It's DOABLE, But Arum Would Have to Feed Ramirez to Prograis 1st, So Regis Could FULLY Unify the Division...But After That, it's DEFINITELY Possible... REED
Arum doesnt HAVE TO do that. I have no doubt that Regis would forget about Ramirez if an attractive Crawford offer was made. Or Hell, if Taylor beats Prograis, reach out to Barry McGuigan and make a Crawford-Taylor matchup. The point is, Bud's career is becoming disappointing, which hurts me cause I like him a lot.
Prograis is Best Suited for Jr. Welter @ This Point and Lou DiBella Knows That as Well... If He Beats Taylor, as He’s Favored to Do and Ramírez (a Top Rank Fighter) is Sitting There w/the Other 2 Belts @ ‘40, WHY Would Prograis Sign w/Top Rank and NOT Face Ramírez? Ultimately, Arum’s Trying to Build a Legit Name for Bud @ ‘47 and the WINNER of Prograis-Ramírez, the Undisputed Jr Welter Champion of the World, Would Be Just That... Prograis or Ramírez w/4 Belts is a BIGGER Fight for Crawford Undoubtedly. Prograis WANTS To Fight Bud, But He Wants to Be Undisputed Champion More. And He’s Just 2 Makeable Bouts Away from That. REED
so we got crawford vs this guy, commey lopez, conlan dogboe, and frampton vs herring on a possible ppv card?
why would he do that? crawford would love to fight pacquiao. arum may refuse it if he considers the 20 mill will mean he takes a substantial loss financially.
It's SAFE, Non-Threatening... Not Edgy, Not Corny...REED'll Finish the Calendar Year w/It for Sure, Then Possibly Consider Something New for 2020... REED
This theory only works for boxing imo. Cause it's a hard hard sport In hockey, theres a lot of sons of greats who turned out to be good great
Good point. Boxing is very hard and very brutal. You have to be absolutely exceptional to not only reach the top, but stay there and do well there and therefore be "great" etc.
