    Ducking midget vs Instagram model was always gonna sell more than Spence-Crawford. Ducking midget is a much bigger mainstream name than Bud and Spence, which is a shame, cause he sure as all fuck isn't in their league as a fighter.

    So Tank will avoid the top guys in his own division yet will move up 2 weight classes to fight Bud?

    Either he doesn’t believe his own BS or he’s just trying to cash out and avoid the likes of Shakur, Haney, Teo, Loma, etc.

    Ducked tiny Loma for years, but talking real big about Bud, huh?

    It's easy to say things that you know you'll never even ATTEMPT to back up.

    All we can say is this: If Crawford and Tank had shared lightweight at the same time, we know goddamn fuckin well that Tank would have ducked the fight.

    He's a fat bitch.

    Yeah, he's really taking his gullible fans for a ride with this Crawford talk. Dude hasn't fought any of the top guy at lw yet he'll move up 2 weight class to fight was is most probably boxing top p4p fighter :rolleye:. Furthermore, Crawford ain't a big draw (maybe this will change after Saturday's performance though), so it's not like he would be making much more than by fighting Haney.

    Please. There's a better chance of Felix Verdejo walking the streets again than there is of Tank even entertaining that fight.

    That pussy should have said: "I'll knock out Shakur in 6 rounds." But he wouldn't, because he'd be expected to back it up, and Shakur would have called him out on social media instantly and said let's do it.

    Instead, he claims he'll knock out Bud, knowing goddamn well Crawford isn't taking him seriously.

    I have no doubt that Crawford would fight Tank. It's easssyyyyyyyyyyyy bread. It's Tank who wouldn't take the fight. He ain't stupid. He just likes to talk.

    Clearly, Tank is CLOUT CHASING...

    Bud Should Respond Saying "Beat My Lil' Bro Shakur 1st and You GOT It!"....

    What is it with Bud and these clown ass southpaws from the DMV? Gary "Fights Once Every World Cup" Russell always had an issue with Crawford too.

    Bud and Russell have Disliked Each Other Since the Ammy Days, if REED's Not Mistaken...

    It doesn't look like Tank versus any quality fighter is likely.

    So, GRJ claimed that he kicked Bud's ass. In Bud's version, which I have no doubt is the accurate version, GRJ sucker punched him then Bud was quickly restrained before he could get his hands on tiny Gary.

    Believable...

    Per Luis Yanez, Russell Walked Around Like Some MEAN, MOODY "Fuck Are You Lookin' At?!" Type of BADASS, Which He WAS to Ammy Guys His Weight and LOWER...Stepped OUT of His Weight Class Though, Sounds Like...

    Per Kenny Porter, Bud is a LOT More Chill Now Than He Was Back in Those Days...Coming from Nebraska, REED Could See Dudes TESTING Bud's "Gangsta" @ National Tournaments, Especially Until He'd Built a REP for Himself...Kenny Said He's Had to Restrain Bud Many Times...

    Bud is a genuine dude, unlike others.

    I always got the vibe that these two were friends.

    In Fairness, We're Talking About Gary Russell in the Mid to Late 00's, Well Over 15 YEARS Ago...

    According to Yanez, Russell Wasn't a BULLY, Per Se, But He Could Be an EDGY Dude Until He Got to Know You, ie., Made You Earn Your Stripes w/Him via Sparring...Particularly w/Yanez and Rau'Shee Warren, Russell Didn't BLOW Them OUT of the Ring, Necessarily, But He Certainly Didn't BABYSIT Their Little Asses in Sparring Either...

    Yanez Ended Up Being Russell's Roommate at the '08 Olympics and Probably SAVED Gary's Life...Luis Returned from the Olympic Village and Found Russell Unconscious on their Dorm Room Floor, from Cutting Toooooo Much Weight...That's Why Russell's an Olympian That DIDN'T Compete...

    Crawford has yet to break through in the way Davis has. I was talking to a casual before the Crawford/Spence fight and he'd never heard of Spence or Crawford but was confident Davis would knock either one out.

    Which just proves that Tank is the new flavor of the month for casual fans. God, they’re so annoying.

    Yeah, that's the way it is unfortunately. Only difference is, being that I'm in Jersey, most people here believe that Shakur will fuck Tank up.

    Last Saturday night’s mega-fight between welterweight champions Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford pulled in 650,000 PPV buys in the U.S., earning them each $25 million

    Not surprised by that number. It's less than I predicted, but in the general range of what I expected, which was 600-800k.
