    In typical fight beat tradition.

    How does Bud do against Tito?

    If Tito can land against Pea (granted, an aged coked up Pea), he'd definitely land on Crawford and stop him

    On a side note, considering Spence had never been dropped ever, I wouldn't be surprised if Crawford was also LOADING HIS GLOVES

    I too think Trinidad knocks Crawford out. He’s too big and punches too hard. I don’t think Bud would deal well with Tito’s power shots. Not over the long haul anyway.

    I'd still take Tito, as I think his power is too much even after Crawford's performance.

    I'm with George, but Bud at least has a case.

    Trinidad vs Spence would have been very ugly for EJ.

    I think Bud could beat guys like Quartey and Forrest for sure, though it’s not guaranteed.

    I give him a chance against Oscar because De La Hoya is very stiff, can’t avoid jabs and straight right hands, and he fades late. But DLH hand speed and power in his left hook would be problematic.

    Trinidad and Mosley are horrible for Bud, IMO.

    Whitaker and Bud is a judge’s fight but I’d take Whitaker at his best.

    I would take Bud over Margarito, Williams, Cotto, and Pac. He has a chance against Floyd but I’d lean slightly towards Money May in that one.

    The Four Kings from the 80s would beat him, imo. He’d have the best chance against Benitez but Wil at his best wins it clearly via decision for me. Leonard, Hearns and Duran are all bad match ups for him.
