How about Terence Crawford fights Charlo? I believe Charlo has three of the four belts and then an undisputed fight with Tim would be huge. Or how about Terence Crawford fight Devon Haney I don’t know if Devon‘s name is quite big enough, but it would be a nice payday And Heaney said he wanted to go to 147, or Keith Thurman as a stay busy fight and change the strategy from one massive PD to a couple of nice size paydays, or the Charlo fight, and then the Tim fight and that would be a massive payday. just because Charlo didn’t do anything against Canelo doesn’t mean he was stripped of his three belts and being that it is a higher weight class. I think it will get some interest with the rail promotion.

[@billybob9961]

George, I have a question. How often should a professional fighter fight to stay sharp? Does it change with age a younger fighter needs to fight more often or less often? And does it change with the weight division does a heavy weight need to stay as busy as a lightweight fighter? I think this kind of plays into the topic of Terence Crawford, since we are talking about inactivity. Thank you very much Pro box TV, undisputed champion of boxing channels.

Charlo ain't even undisputed no more. Don't even think he is coming back to 154. Charlo has let go of a few of those belts as it is.

[@dafightdoc8836]

It's not just Crawford. The whole fight game is stalling itself out. I knew like many, who said that when we started seeing the proliferation of PPV's it would limit development of fighters and restrict activity levels. And here we are. Count the next time you see a fighter with 30 fights.

[@yanassi]

I think ppv came about to pay fighters the money they are now wanting, the money networks are not willing to pay. If fighters think they deserve $10m then ppv is the only way they will see their worth, or what they are not worth. Money demands on every fight has killed boxing as we know it. Stars, like canelo could’ve made it worth it for showtime to continue but canelo avoided too many real challenges the fans wanted to see. Even dazn complained of low viewership of canelo fighting nobodies that didn’t match the $350m they paid him. But that was showtimes fault, they allowed the promoters to have too much control over matchmaking instead of match promotion.

Crawford isn't getting Charlo, Caneo OR the Spence rematch, which were his 3 most lucrative fights to be made. Lopez may be the best opponent & matchup. Boots is high risk/low reward. Very dangerous fight as Boots is like a bigger, younger Crawford. ONLY major advantage Crawford has is experience. Boots is a huge risky unknown matchup. Tszyu may give Crawford a big paycheck but it's also a high risk/low reward fight in that Tszyu is still establishing himself but is a very dangerous, unknown matchup. Thurman, Benn or Virgil Ortiz anyone? Crawford just doesn't have many great options..especially if he is going to restrict himself to just 1 more "money" fight.

Great analysis as usual. I hope they will comment on what happened with Spence. Spence's comments about injury before he fought Crawford and his eye surgery sort of took away with how great Crawford fought him and set up a situation where fighting him again put him in a " No Win Situation "! If he beats him again Spence's injuries would sort of tarnish it again. From a fan perspective Spence came off as lying to fans to get a big check if what he said is true. That should hurt the box office if they fought a second time also.

[@tgas2064]

Usually agree with Paulie on his takes. Have to disagree when he says it's Bud's fault for resigning with Top Rank. Why should it matter what promotional company he's signed with, if two fighters really wanna fight they could make a fight happen regardless of promotional companies. PBC clearly blocked Bud from fighting they guys at 147 cause they knew none of them could beat Bud. They could've forced the issue like Porter did but they wanted no parts of him. Spence finally grew some nuts, went around Haymon, hired his own manager and made the fight happen cause he had nowhere to turn and it was gonna be his biggest payday. How was Bud to know PBC was gonna freeze him out when before resigning with Top Rank Spence told him "get a belt first and then we can fight". After Bud beat Horn, resigned with Top Rank Spence created the "other side of the street" shit. Bud fought PBC guys at 140 and we heard no mention of a street. Spence was actively calling out Pacquiao and Horn and both of them were Top Rank. Never heard nothing about "wrong side of the street" when he wanted to fight those two. The problem was never the side of the street, it was the fact that Bud was the guy they could never beat. Had anybody else (other than Bud) held that WBO title PBC would've made those fights happen

[@Jalilspill513]

I don’t think Crawford can hold the title of best fighter if he grabbed all the belts from one man and became complacent. We understand fighters are in it for money… but why allow him to have free rein to hop around, that’s the reason he got stripped idk how people can say they don’t understand why. If he outright does not want to defend it why let him keep it if he only wants specific fights. A champion should be willing to take all comers.

[@mrnastytime420]

It's good to see cherry pickers stripped. The guy is a diva and prices himself out of good fights. His resume is filled with bums and faded former champs. The sooner he retires the better. These guys that wait for their mid 30's to finally fight good fighters are what's wrong with this era of boxing.

@@theideareview2081 because the big has had boots lying in wait for 2 and a half years, because they had to wait for the collision of Errol and Terrance.

[@paultillocksinghtillocksin1091]

​@Jalilspill513 Two and a half years ago Errol Spence Jr Defended his IBF & WBC belts, against Danny Swift Garcia 2020, Then he defends the IBF & WBC belts and grabs the WBA title from Ugas 2022. so from the dates shown, quite clearly you can see Errol Spence Jr, is the sole reason Boots has been waiting for his Crack at the IBF title. Spence didn't have to take the Danny Garcia fight, could of fought Boots. Boots should have stayed in line and rankings with the WBO, he was next up & Crawford's mandatory, but he chose to pursue Errol Spence Jr and his IBF title route. Also you can't agree to a fight when you have already agreed to a rematch, sign sealed and delivered. plus all the sanctioning bobies where informed and agreed to this arrangement , everyone was down with it and on board. The fight gets the green light. 11 weeks after the fight you go back on your agreement and stripe the champ. Because the previous champion, Errol Spence Jr didn't defend his mandatory and you the IBF didn't inforce the fight or force Errol Spence Jr to defend against his Mando which was Boots .

I'd be interested in Crawford v Teofimo or Crawford v Haney. 2 younger fighters coming into their prime. Wouldn't have any interest in seeing Crawford fight either of the Charlos to be honest. Good fighters but both past their prime. Possibly Tim Tzyu would be a decent fight for him. Crawford v Canelo would be interesting and would generate most money.

Man this shit is soft . Y’all backing Crawford and this shit is getting old . That’s why he’ll never be a true legend like a Ali, Duran, Ray Leonard . Y’all are calling him the best fighter on the planet but fought a weight drained Errol Spence. Let’s be honest as far as 147 , as far as greatness talent, except for Boots, 147 is soft. He’s duckin boots . And yeah it’s a money duck, Crawford is a bum never fought a true champion in his prime. There’s so much talent at 140 & 154, But Crawford wants to stay at 147 because there’s no real talent there, only boots and he’s too scared to fight him . Tim Tszyu, Teofimo , Haney, Boots & the Charlos are all around that weight and he still hasn’t secured a fight that’s on him if you say he’s a great you got to earn that title by fighting the best not fighting a drained 154lber & mid guys . IMO his next fight will probably be a Charlo , they are the weaker of the top names who still have some relevance but are not truly great fighters . They are good but there’s levels to each tiers . He will avoid Teofimo, Devin Haney & Tim Tszyu at all costs guaranteed . He’s soft and overrated.

When you look at the timeline vs the PBC roster the resigning with TR had little effect and is overblown by fans, commentators and Bud himself. At most he would have gotten another fight or two, but we make it out like he would have had the opportunity to run through the whole PBC WW roster. Especially when you look at the inactivity, injuries and pandemic. 140 is more of a missed opportunity because everyone was racing to the money division for shot at Floyd/Pac lottery, so the risk/reward carried to 147.

There are a lot of questions about Lopez and even though he would like to be put in the same category as Crawford, he simply isn't. Bud has never lost to a Kambosos and beating Josh Taylor doesn't have the same shine since the Catterall fight. I can't see Crawford sticking around at 147 to fight López who has never fought at that weight. Why doesn't he fight Ennis if he thinks he's so good at 147?

@@bgonza2 Canelo would destroy Crawford. Tell me a time someone jumped up 13 pounds(147-160) or more in the last 40 years and beat the top guy there in their first fight. Talking about 21 pounds from 147-168. It just doesn't happen. Charlo tried jumping up 14 pounds to fight Canelo and got waxed. No one is coming up 2 or more divisions and stopping Canelo and to beat him on the cards, you have to utterly destroy him. Watch the fight vs Bivol. They gave Canelo the first 4 rounds in spite of the fact round 2 was the only one competitive and Bivol dominated the other 3. Rounds 2 and 10 were the only 2 rounds you could possibly give Canelo without being corrupt. It wasn't until the crowd who came in hyping Canelo started booing him and cheering Bivol due to the fight being so one sided that the judges started scoring the fight fairly. Canelo's neck is so massive(from all the PEDs he used when coming up) it reduces the shock of punches. Beterbiev might be the only person from 175 down capable of stopping Canelo. Crawford doesn't have near the fundamentals of Bivol to beat him soundly enough with pure boxing to win on the cards. It is a fight Crawford has no chance at all of winning.
