The Dude 8,448 Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Crawford - Spence is the one I want to see. A lot of people seem to think Spence would be trouble for Bud, but I'll take Crawford all day in that matchup. I honestly think Porter would give Crawford more trouble than Spence. "Styles make fights" and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dude 8,448 Report post Posted August 3, 2018 Fury is the most skilled boxer of the super heavyweights. Wilder would have his hands full, especially if Fury showed up in shape. Any combination of those top 3 guys in the division would be an interesting matchup. Shut up and just sign. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dude 8,448 Report post Posted September 26, 2018 The Ring reports that Staples Center has defeated Mandalay Bay in the battle for Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury, which takes place on December 1st via Showtime pay-per-view. As the article states, this will be the first “significant heavyweight title fight in L.A.” since Lennox Lewis bested Vitali Klitschko 15 years ago. https://www.badlefthook.com/2018/9/26/17904502/wilder-fury-officially-lands-at-staples-center 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly for Bud, fights like these will be the norm for a long time. The true welterweight superfight, Crawford/Spence, probably doesn’t see the light during these fighters elite time(the next two years). With Bud’s contract with Abrum and ESPN he could easily be an afterthought for the other top fighters in the class who are signed with promoters who are tied to SHOWTIME. Those guys will match up so much easier with each other due to this. Add in the fact that Abrum burned some bridges with some of these promotion groups(I know Spence’s group is one with Al Haymon) won’t help matters. Now add in the fact the Mikey Garcia, unified and undefeated stud at lightweight wants to fight Spence. He’s gonna fight Richard Commey next, but I think this fight happens far before Crawford gets his shot at Spence. The other odd twist that could effect this Spence/Crawford thing is Vasyl Lomachenko. Loma will destroy his next match in December to unify his half of the lightweight world and he wants Garcia. Garcia once was a Top Rank/ESPN guy. A bitter release from them took two years, but odds are that this fight has a better(yet far fetched) chance of happening before Spence and Crawford have a go at it. it is sad the politics that screw fans of seeing great fights. And GGG still win the fight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the pay-per-view s#!t and the different governing bodies deciding who is, and who isn't worthy of a title shot has really screwed the sport, and the fans out of the best fights.

PaulCrewe 2,303 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Bump this with a couple hours until the fight tonight. plenty of drama the last few days between the two camps. Probably was better drama than the actual bout tonight. Bud needs a big fight. Can see this playing out like The Gambia fight with a a round or two quicker finish or like the Postal fight in which Postal saw he couldn’t touch Crawford so danced around all night avoiding the KO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
