I think Crawford's boxing IQ and versatality are the keys to be the best chess match floyd would have prime vs prime.It could possibly be a big surprise in my opinion.What's your opinion ?
Floyd is the master. Crawford has had his toughest sequences vs counterpunchers that force him to initiate and attack in range. The way he has adjusted wouldn’t work vs Floyd who is a ridiculous counter puncher. I think Floyd out points Crawford
@@BoxingGems the truth is that L exaggerated.i just am a big bud fan,but seriously who you think could give an L to floyd ? A prime sweet pea or a prime roberto duran are my first thougths,but is very debatable even for them.Except castillo and maidana who in my opinion both lost by one point in their first fights with mayweather but if mayweather wasn't such a big money cow for the promoters ;judges could give the decisions the other side without being a robbery for sure.Lastly,don't forget mayweather wasn't the same fighter at lightweight up to welterweight.At welter he did't risk so much;he punched as much as needed to win rounds and he was hit much less because of that and also his experience.
@@kostantisvarikos3892 Did you check out my Floyd series? Check it out if you didn’t fam. To answer your question, I have no idea who would actually beat Floyd in a fantasy matchup. Sweet Pea would definitely have a chance to out point him. Duran, I don’t know. If you watch the film, Duran seems like the fighter that Floyd modeled his control and guard manipulation game after. I had Floyd beating Castillo 8 rounds to 4 but I can see 7-5. I just watched that recently. My scorecard was 115-111 like 2 of the judges due to both having points taken. I haven’t watched Maidana 1 in a while. Don’t remember that scorecard. And yes I agree, when Floyd became Money May he just relied on out smarting and outpointing his ops. But I think he was trying to KO Ortiz, Cotto and Mosley after he was hurt.
@@BoxingGems It's a difficult question for sure and indeed floyd took lessons from duran.Duran mentioned that too in an interview.As for the fights you mentioned it was a pleasure to see floyd hustle it out.
I loved this fight! I had never seen Khan get outboxed before! In every other fight Khan lost...he was clearly out boxing his opponent before getting clipped with some hard and knocked out. Against Crawford....he had no answers for the boxing clinic Crawford was putting on and therefore opted to quit due to a "low blow"! Critics will never admit that Crawford is a genius in that ring! 💯🔥💯
Thank you for this post !! It’s hard to explain Bud’s skills to those that knows close to nothing about boxing. When I try to explain they bring up Bud’s resume or that he’s with top rank. With skills like his it doesn’t matter who’s on his resume, those who understand boxing recognize Bud’s high skill level.
Besides his skill set. I believe his opponents get overwhelmed with how physically strong he is. It's kind of funny to see the look on their face when they get hit or realize they cant push this skinny dude around.
@@jamaaljohnson9124 Nah he’s still the same except a losing athleticism slowly as we all do and becoming more cerebral. Everything on Patreon should be the same fam
Thanks for recommending this video. You officially got a fan bro. As a boxing purest I smiled through the whole video. It’s good to see someone just break the sweet science of boxing for once and not have to debate Crawford greatness. It’s also good to see other Crawford supporters in the comments as well. It’s tough being a Bud fan these days with all the disrespect he receives.
You aren’t alone fam. Everyone that knows what they’re talking about respects Crawford’s skills. Mayweather, Loma, Roy Jones, Ward have all called Bud P4P. Shit, Spence had Crawford in his top 5 p4p. It’s fans who don’t know what they’re watching and fanboys of other fighters who disrespect.
He's definitely high risk...I was watched the Brook fight again last week and You could see Bud's face as the ref was stopping it...He was smiling like a "Madman"!🤣...I was thinking that right there a Special thing about Bud...I credit him to being arguably the best "closer" in the game rn...
Just discovered your channel today bro and it is already by far one of my favorites already. Thank you for breaking down the sweet science and really slowing it down give us a explanation to what we are really watching
Thank you man, for all of these. With Crawford I could always see it, but never break it down, thanks for doin' that. I felt the same about Calzaghe, especially in that Kessler fight, first time watching boxing and I just knew I was watching something special, couldn't put my finger on it. Poetry in motion, eh, Best breakdown vids on here, by a long shot. Thanks
lol...5 From Nebraska. Bad intentions when he digs at that range. He simply does not waste those opportunities. People seem to miss the investments he consistently make downstairs during exchanges. What I like about TC is his willingness to get hit in order to take his own pound of flesh. Bruce LEE talked about the concept of taking damage in order to inflict even greater harm in the exchange.
I love that genius music to go with a genius fighter it reads and talks, you can tell if a fighter has it or not real quick by his foot work and style alot of fighters mostly unknowns but have styles very similiar to Bruce Lees' kool and to put the icing on the cake their gentlemen, men Crawford sometime does kool sharp back up turns throwing opponets off a very bad dude! That's why he has all the Legends I'm so glad you finally made it to where they have to recognize you not speaking of Legends here they know you're the 3rd or 4th detailed speaker on Buds' fighting talents I knew from gate he stood alone I like to know who's at my face early on in any case with objectivity this is your life so-to-speak i saw when they first started showing him on u tube
Man Watching crawford is just unbelievable His ounces as of lately and eyes have gotten much better and I need a fight from crawford soon. Crawford ugas porter Thurman I don't care.
Whichever video you came to the channel on I guarantee the same quality of boxing knowledge is there for older vids. They probably just suck editing wise 😂
The reason that Bud is my favorite fighter is because he’s arguably the most skilled boxer in the world today… but he loves fighting too. He doesn’t just want to beat his opponents, he wants to finish them.
For crawford,except spence fight, i would like to watch a clash with josh taylor in either weight class .it would be a good payday for both and crawford started from lightweight so there will be no talk of fighting smaller guys.A fight with ugas would make sense now that he has the belt and he is a very skilled fighter too.My third choice would be a fight with not a very big light middleweight title holder in order to be a 4 division champ.
Me too Fam! That’s what all real fight fans want to see. We aren’t getting what we demand. But I’m curious who you consider the best at welterweight? You got a top 5?
@@cedarioustaylor89615 Aside from Spence and Crawford I think it's all debatable. These guys aren't fighting outside of their management/promo companies and they fight so seldom. I can make an argument for Pacman if you have Thurman in there, I can make an argument for Ugas if you have Porter in there. Who knows about the young guys like Boots, they won't give him the shot yet. It's a all around disappointing division in my opinion as far as fights getting made that we want to see. Now I heard the Pac/ Spence fight is in jeopardy but I don't know if thats accurate yet.
@@BoxingGems and I could see mean machine beating a lot of those pbc fighters so I don’t even agree that Crawford “hasn’t fought” top welterweights…Horn did better against Pacquiao than thurman did also
@@jdvlanka265 That's what I'm saying. They don't fight across promo companies. I'd have a hard time saying that Thurman, Porter, (either) Garcia, or Ugas go 5-0 against Horn, Benavidez, Khan, Kavaliauskus and Brook at the same time Crawford stopped them all. Styles make fights. I would have loved to see a lot of those fights! The perceived top 5 at welterweight is opportunity based, not fight based.
I've had him #1 p for p for years. Only special athletes make everything they do look effortless. Mayweather was one of those athletes and so is Crawford.
These guys are seeking the lowest risk with the highest reward. Bud is a rare talent willing to fight anybody because he has to in order to keep the income flowing. The top PBC guys can afford to hand pick their opponents because of the talent on the roster. They don't have to take a lot of risk and can load up the undercard to sell fights. The only way true boxing fans will get the fights we all want to see is if there was a sanctioning body to force the fights. That will never happen
Damn. You never cease to impress. Another brilliant analysis. I wonder how you’d see prime Bud versus prime Floyd at 140 and 147? Bud sure carried his power up better, but he takes a lot more risks ….
@@BoxingGems hmm he is more skilled for sure, you sure he can cope with buds athleticism and variation though?, this is a Strong man with Elite Athleticism x Physicality, has the skill and the iq too, don't forget bud is slightly longer and taller and knows how to use it , initially I said floyd UD winning 8 or 9. But some of Floyd's hardest fights came against athletic guys who were happy to mix it up against him and had good punch selection, bud is a better athlete than alot of guys mayweather faced, I feel like it's alot more 50/50 than many would imagine. I'd still lean FMJ though but I'd worry for floyd over 12 rounds with someone who hits that well and has that athleticism
I'm split, Floyd UD seems logical and he takes 8/9 rounds but bud winning by ko is logical too, as I've said to BG in the comment abov4, we've seen floyd have some of his toughest fights against athletic guys with variation, simply because it gives him less time to process and forces him to go off instincts more, to me it comes down to if mayweather can navigate his athleticism x physicality, bud would vary what he does against floyd and vice versa because that's how they fight and they go off habits and opponents rhythm, that's the iq and adaptability in both, but with Crawford you always have to worry physically and mentally because he can catch you clean and KO you, and he will take a hit add walk you down to get his punches off and download the information he needs, we've seen him physically bully guys as well, and then floyd will have to navigate the slight reach advantage too, we've seen bigger physically stronger guys than floyd have issues with all of the above, I'd need to see FM navigate it, if he does then he wins based on what they've shown us so far.
The book on Crawford is catch him while he is initiating offense either while he’s closing distance or by countering his attack. Patient counterpunchers have the best success vs Crawford. Floyd is better at that by far than any of Crawford’s opponents. Crawford will adjust basically becoming Errol Spence. Double jabs to get you to shell up then attack the body. Or he will start to be more clever and bait the attack with feints and probes so he can counter the counter. Or, he tries to turn the fight into a brawl. Floyd is happy staying patient and potshot from distance. Floyd is also a monster on the inside if you force it….But who really knows? Anything can happen in boxing and this is a fantasy fight so their is no way anybody can be sure. Diving deep into a fantasy fight really isn’t my thing.
@@BoxingGems this is true, was telling people on another channel, initiating Counters seemed to work, that's what MM and Porter did, he found ways around it, they basically pissed him off so he beat them up, fantasy are hard to to do lots of things change, the reason I think it's quite close though is because bud is a super versatile fighter, floyd is too but fighting someone versatile makes it hard to process or anticipate what they will do, the fights where floyd has had troubles came from guys who limited his processing time ( hes too good smart and instinctive to overwhelm/pressure him,) but slowing him down has shown to hsbe some kind of success, and 1 way of doing that is changing what you do constantly, then you look at the fact that bud would be one of the better athletes hes faced along with the versatility switch hitting and power, even in a brawl, bud is still quick elusive using different punches and placing his head in a way where fighters tend to overextend, that's a tough fight, im not saying FMJ doesn't win, but the matchup imo is alot tougher than many think, at 1st I thought floyd gets him relatively easy but thinking about it, it's a tough fight for both. I'd still pick FMJ because he's fhe,ultimate end boss
Great breakdown and fair assessment. Now we'll see what Porter to offer come November. No reflection on other fighters, but I just believe Bud has a higher IQ than the rest...and that's what separates him
Laid it on Khan thick. I use to think Bud was small for the WW division but after seeing him an Brook in the ring Bud is big for a WW and he fights taller then he is. Ppl don’t realize Kavalaskas is listed as 5’10 and TC 5’8 but TC looked taller in that fight
I liked that "not named Canelo Alvarez, truly the best professional fighter I've ever seen and heard, I knew and heard a man fought 4 & five guys on the street it was bloody and not his wow ! but mant guys did back then in 60s early 70s that's why I said the most "professional fighter in the beginning but it's all extra ordinary to me how do they do especially with 4 & 5 people at a time hard as you
And to think at one point in time they ranked Loma as #1 p4p king and Chocolatito, then they went to Canelo and now they want Usyk or some guy called Inoue.
Honestly I have no idea fam. Both fighters have distinct advantages. Spence is a big guy at welterweight and he has good fundamental boxing skill. Spence is pretty great on the inside. I've seen Spence hurt bad before but he definitely has a good beard as well. I have no idea when or if we will ever see that fight.
Well Crawford isn’t a natural southpaw and of course, he fights orthodox as well being a well known switch hitter. There are a lot more southpaws than it used to be though! I remember when trainers were turning lefty’s orthodox thinking the southpaw stance is a hindrance.
If you want to have a discussion let’s keep it factual. Spence averaged 78 punches per round vs Ugas. 78 x 12 = 936. He threw 707 vs Danny Garcia. He threw 745 vs Porter. He threw 633 against Brook in 11 rounds. Spence doesn’t average anywhere near 1000 punches per fight. The Mikey Garcia fight was the exception, not the standard. Crawford has been averaging 38-42 punches per round which would be 460-500 punches per fight. Crawford typically lowers his opponents punch output by controlling distance. In fact, he’s elite at it. So if Porter held Spence to 750 and Garcia held Spence to 700 without necessarily controlling distance, it’s likely Crawford holds Spence to considerably less punches thrown.
@@BoxingGems You want to get factual when it comes to Spence. You use hyperbole when it comes to Crawford. He has NEVEF thrown more than 442 punches in a single fight Any way you chew, Spence doubles Crawford's punch output or more. Numbers don't lie. All that punch accumulation won't either. Crawford has 1 single solitary path to victory. = KO Spence. The chances of that are slim and none. And both of them dudes ride together 🤣
I don’t agree that his best wins are over Gamboa or a so called “shot” Brook. Isn’t it strange to you that the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr, Roy Jones, Lomachenko who were all “considered” to be P4p at some point say he is the best fighter and fans don’t?
@@BoxingGems I’m not questioning his skills even stevie wonder can see his skilled I’m talking about his opposition he hasn’t faced any elite competition he’s good but I still think he’s overrated and bud thinks he should be considered p4p 1 with his resume I just don’t see it who you think bud signature win is so far out of curiosity
@@billystone8204 You'd have to explain what a "Signature win" is and what is considered "elite". Are we still talking boxing skill or is this a different criteria?
@@BoxingGems you know like a win against another fighter that is great was great or ends up being great in future I think bud is probably willing to face most fighters but you know politics I’m just saying if he hangs up gloves now he doesn’t have them fighters on his resume them signature wins to remember great
@@billystone8204 Ok well Ricky Burns was a 3 division 3x Champion who got the 3rd belt after he fought Crawford. Does that check the boxes? Fam my theory is that these opponent conversations surrounding Crawford and others in his same situation are more about familiarity/popularity then boxing skill or even accomplishment. My ideas of "overrated" or "great" always comes from a skill perspective.
@@samuraijose817 If the topic is based around skills then the guy's opinion isn't shocking. I'd say the only argument there is him being better than Ward, and that's a toss up. Manny without a doubt is the least skilled of the bunch.
Terrence Crawford's prime has been WASTED because that's what Bob Arum does to great black fighters, which is why Floyd Mayweather had to buy himself our of his contact with Bob Arum, who many people feel is nothing but a racist. Crawford should sign with Eddie Hearn or Mayweather.
I can’t say a 3 division, 140 Undisputed Champions prime was wasted. Also, I don’t know if the problem is that Bob is racist or not, I think he’s just old (out of touch) and greedy and did some bad business on bad business projections. The 4 million guarantee per fight for Crawford hasn’t panned out and that’s Bobs fault. It was his deal. I’m not sure if Crawford gets the fights he wants (which was the belt holders) regardless of who he signs with. It’s probably more likely he gets the fights but there is no guarantee.
@@BoxingGems That's why it was wasted because of the calibre of fighter Terrence Crawford is. He could be a TEN weight division champion yet he is not well known outside of the boxing world. Prince Nazeem is more famous than Crawford. No black fighter should sign with racist Bob Arum and that's that.
@@BoxingGems Bud is going to beat the breaks off of spence and make spence look very ordinary like he does all his opponents and the boxing world will make alot of excuses when it happens. Oh pac did something to spence. Spence wasn't the same after he fought pac- man etc etc!!
@@levianthony3944 Here is what the end of the video literally says: Thurman: ASKED for 10 million allegedly (his highest guarantee) no belt Pacman: ASKED for 40 million Porter: 2.5 million offer WOULD BE DISRESPECTFUL (his highest guarantee) no belt It looks like you’re reading what you want to read instead of what’s actually there. Nothing was said about what they were actually offered. Sir, the picture is at the end of a 10 minute video. How in the world would it get views? C’mon man. You can clean that last paragraph up first before we go on with any conversation.
Gervonta Tank Davis is the Real Black Peoples Champion! No other black fighter even come close to Tank, not Haney, shakur, or farmer ❤️ Tank! Respect 💯 Be honest... Congratulations to tank! But josh Taylor is undisputed champion of 140 lbs div. so htf did tank become a 3 division champion when Taylor has ALL THE BELTS. 🤣😂 call bs

can you do a video talking about the differences between high guard and active guard?
A high guard is just throwing the shield up attempting to deflect punches. An active high guard is shifts and moves to deflect

The only way true boxing fans will get the fights we all want to see is if there was a sanctioning body to force the fights. That will never happen
What title of background music?
SoundCloud link in the description. The title has changed
okay bro. I search "Upper Echelon* but the sound instrumental is not same
Thank yahawah somebody do homework bud is for a old school boxing gym 💪🏾💥💨
Whats good gems. Your ring IQ is so high im interested to know your fighting background.
I’m just a regular old nobody that loves boxing. 😉
@@BoxingGems I'll go with that for now
😂
the p4p boss imo, i got a question, who won every round vs khan outside crawford?
Nobody ever really outboxed Amir like Crawford did in this fight. Like Khan said, “Crawford is on another level”
@@BoxingGems exactly
Damn. You never cease to impress. Another brilliant analysis.
I wonder how you’d see prime Bud versus prime Floyd at 140 and 147? Bud sure carried his power up better, but he takes a lot more risks ….
Thanks fam. I have Floyd. He’s too smart.
@@BoxingGems hmm he is more skilled for sure, you sure he can cope with buds athleticism and variation though?, this is a Strong man with Elite Athleticism x Physicality, has the skill and the iq too, don't forget bud is slightly longer and taller and knows how to use it , initially I said floyd UD winning 8 or 9. But some of Floyd's hardest fights came against athletic guys who were happy to mix it up against him and had good punch selection, bud is a better athlete than alot of guys mayweather faced, I feel like it's alot more 50/50 than many would imagine. I'd still lean FMJ though but I'd worry for floyd over 12 rounds with someone who hits that well and has that athleticism
I'm split, Floyd UD seems logical and he takes 8/9 rounds but bud winning by ko is logical too, as I've said to BG in the comment abov4, we've seen floyd have some of his toughest fights against athletic guys with variation, simply because it gives him less time to process and forces him to go off instincts more, to me it comes down to if mayweather can navigate his athleticism x physicality, bud would vary what he does against floyd and vice versa because that's how they fight and they go off habits and opponents rhythm, that's the iq and adaptability in both, but with Crawford you always have to worry physically and mentally because he can catch you clean and KO you, and he will take a hit add walk you down to get his punches off and download the information he needs, we've seen him physically bully guys as well, and then floyd will have to navigate the slight reach advantage too, we've seen bigger physically stronger guys than floyd have issues with all of the above, I'd need to see FM navigate it, if he does then he wins based on what they've shown us so far.
The book on Crawford is catch him while he is initiating offense either while he’s closing distance or by countering his attack. Patient counterpunchers have the best success vs Crawford. Floyd is better at that by far than any of Crawford’s opponents.
Crawford will adjust basically becoming Errol Spence. Double jabs to get you to shell up then attack the body. Or he will start to be more clever and bait the attack with feints and probes so he can counter the counter. Or, he tries to turn the fight into a brawl. Floyd is happy staying patient and potshot from distance. Floyd is also a monster on the inside if you force it….But who really knows? Anything can happen in boxing and this is a fantasy fight so their is no way anybody can be sure. Diving deep into a fantasy fight really isn’t my thing.
@@BoxingGems this is true, was telling people on another channel, initiating Counters seemed to work, that's what MM and Porter did, he found ways around it, they basically pissed him off so he beat them up, fantasy are hard to to do lots of things change, the reason I think it's quite close though is because bud is a super versatile fighter, floyd is too but fighting someone versatile makes it hard to process or anticipate what they will do, the fights where floyd has had troubles came from guys who limited his processing time ( hes too good smart and instinctive to overwhelm/pressure him,) but slowing him down has shown to hsbe some kind of success, and 1 way of doing that is changing what you do constantly, then you look at the fact that bud would be one of the better athletes hes faced along with the versatility switch hitting and power, even in a brawl, bud is still quick elusive using different punches and placing his head in a way where fighters tend to overextend, that's a tough fight, im not saying FMJ doesn't win, but the matchup imo is alot tougher than many think, at 1st I thought floyd gets him relatively easy but thinking about it, it's a tough fight for both. I'd still pick FMJ because he's fhe,ultimate end boss
Great breakdown and fair assessment. Now we'll see what Porter to offer come November. No reflection on other fighters, but I just believe Bud has a higher IQ than the rest...and that's what separates him
If not the highest definitely amongst the highest. Thanks fam!
@@BoxingGems definitely amongst the welterweight division
100% agreed
I saw Demetrius Andrade show these skills what do you think about Andrade
He’s good.
Laid it on Khan thick. I use to think Bud was small for the WW division but after seeing him an Brook in the ring Bud is big for a WW and he fights taller then he is. Ppl don’t realize Kavalaskas is listed as 5’10 and TC 5’8 but TC looked taller in that fight
Yea fam, Bud grew into the weight really well.
Ik he was ready for WW when he rag dolled Horn big ahh😂 he’s crazy strong and he long asf, still don’t see nobody beating him at 47
I liked that "not named Canelo Alvarez, truly the best professional fighter I've ever seen and heard, I knew and heard a man fought 4 & five guys on the street it was bloody and not his wow ! but mant guys did back then in 60s early 70s that's why I said the most "professional fighter in the beginning but it's all extra ordinary to me how do they do especially with 4 & 5 people at a time hard as you
Bud and Fury are my favourite fighters
good analysis...very perceptive. (Get some better music though.)
Thanks! Check out the channel. All different kinds of beats fam. Some will work, some won’t. Depends on the listeners taste
And to think at one point in time they ranked Loma as #1 p4p king and Chocolatito, then they went to Canelo and now they want Usyk or some guy called Inoue.
How people picking Errol spence to beat this man I do not know. Only boxer of modern era that could compete in any decade
Inoue Bivol Shakur Canelo too. In fact id argue Spence could too.
Do you think crawford will stop spence if they ever fight each over ?
Honestly I have no idea fam. Both fighters have distinct advantages. Spence is a big guy at welterweight and he has good fundamental boxing skill. Spence is pretty great on the inside. I've seen Spence hurt bad before but he definitely has a good beard as well. I have no idea when or if we will ever see that fight.
Crawford's science is so very very sweet...is he the best boxer ever?
Keep in mind Khan was beating Canelo's ass for several rounds (until he got KTFO)...
Southpaw is the new orthodox boxing stance. It seems almost everyone is fighting southpaw these days.
Well Crawford isn’t a natural southpaw and of course, he fights orthodox as well being a well known switch hitter. There are a lot more southpaws than it used to be though! I remember when trainers were turning lefty’s orthodox thinking the southpaw stance is a hindrance.
More i watch this, the more i feel he beats Spence. He doesn’t stop him tho.
🤣🤣
300 -400 punches T'aint gonna win a fight vs. Spence. 1000 punches overwhelms; breaks ribs, and orbital bones.
Unless Spence doesn’t throw as much vs Crawford.
@@BoxingGems Has Spence EVER, EVER, EVER THROWN AS FEW AS 400 PUNCHES IN A FIGHT?
HE AVERAGES OVER A THOUSAND!
If you want to have a discussion let’s keep it factual. Spence averaged 78 punches per round vs Ugas. 78 x 12 = 936. He threw 707 vs Danny Garcia. He threw 745 vs Porter. He threw 633 against Brook in 11 rounds. Spence doesn’t average anywhere near 1000 punches per fight. The Mikey Garcia fight was the exception, not the standard.
Crawford has been averaging 38-42 punches per round which would be 460-500 punches per fight.
Crawford typically lowers his opponents punch output by controlling distance. In fact, he’s elite at it. So if Porter held Spence to 750 and Garcia held Spence to 700 without necessarily controlling distance, it’s likely Crawford holds Spence to considerably less punches thrown.
@@BoxingGems You want to get factual when it comes to Spence. You use hyperbole when it comes to Crawford. He has NEVEF thrown more than 442 punches in a single fight
Any way you chew, Spence doubles Crawford's punch output or more. Numbers don't lie.
All that punch accumulation won't either.
Crawford has 1 single solitary path to victory. = KO Spence. The chances of that are slim and none. And both of them dudes ride together 🤣
Hyperbole? Bruh, do you know the definition?
I gave you facts for both fighters. Crawford vs Benavidez he threw 579 punches. You’re just wrong
Man done a no look Switch hit punch
Seems like he switch hits nowadays when he's closing distance or aiming to be aggressive.
I was watching that fight the other day and Bud was beating on Khan
Don’t you think Crawford is a bit overrated though he’s best win is gamboa or a shot brook
I don’t agree that his best wins are over Gamboa or a so called “shot” Brook. Isn’t it strange to you that the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr, Roy Jones, Lomachenko who were all “considered” to be P4p at some point say he is the best fighter and fans don’t?
@@BoxingGems I’m not questioning his skills even stevie wonder can see his skilled I’m talking about his opposition he hasn’t faced any elite competition he’s good but I still think he’s overrated and bud thinks he should be considered p4p 1 with his resume I just don’t see it who you think bud signature win is so far out of curiosity
@@billystone8204 You'd have to explain what a "Signature win" is and what is considered "elite". Are we still talking boxing skill or is this a different criteria?
@@BoxingGems you know like a win against another fighter that is great was great or ends up being great in future I think bud is probably willing to face most fighters but you know politics I’m just saying if he hangs up gloves now he doesn’t have them fighters on his resume them signature wins to remember great
@@billystone8204 Ok well Ricky Burns was a 3 division 3x Champion who got the 3rd belt after he fought Crawford. Does that check the boxes? Fam my theory is that these opponent conversations surrounding Crawford and others in his same situation are more about familiarity/popularity then boxing skill or even accomplishment. My ideas of "overrated" or "great" always comes from a skill perspective.
The best fighter after Floyd in my opinion
You mean of all-time?
@@BoxingGems just this time period after Floyd retire he’s better than canelo,manny,Errol,Andre ward
@@davidisaiah8065 woah
@@davidisaiah8065 I agree he just don’t have the opponents to prove it
@@samuraijose817 If the topic is based around skills then the guy's opinion isn't shocking. I'd say the only argument there is him being better than Ward, and that's a toss up. Manny without a doubt is the least skilled of the bunch.
That 3-2 I think Crawford stole that from Manny
The 2-3? Or 2-shuffle-3?
If Bruce Lee were reincarnated as a black boxer lol
You think Bud is more skilled than what Floyd was?
No
I was talking about this era
@@BoxingGems Ight, didn’t catch that. Appreciate it man
Terrence Crawford's prime has been WASTED because that's what Bob Arum does to great black fighters, which is why Floyd Mayweather had to buy himself our of his contact with Bob Arum, who many people feel is nothing but a racist. Crawford should sign with Eddie Hearn or Mayweather.
I can’t say a 3 division, 140 Undisputed Champions prime was wasted. Also, I don’t know if the problem is that Bob is racist or not, I think he’s just old (out of touch) and greedy and did some bad business on bad business projections. The 4 million guarantee per fight for Crawford hasn’t panned out and that’s Bobs fault. It was his deal. I’m not sure if Crawford gets the fights he wants (which was the belt holders) regardless of who he signs with. It’s probably more likely he gets the fights but there is no guarantee.
@@BoxingGems
That's why it was wasted because of the calibre of fighter Terrence Crawford is. He could be a TEN weight division champion yet he is not well known outside of the boxing world. Prince Nazeem is more famous than Crawford. No black fighter should sign with racist Bob Arum and that's that.
I hear you
bud can't beat spence
It’s a shame we haven’t seen that fight already.
My money is on bud stopping Spence 💯
@@BoxingGems Bud is going to beat the breaks off of spence and make spence look very ordinary like he does all his opponents and the boxing world will make alot of excuses when it happens. Oh pac did something to spence. Spence wasn't the same after he fought pac- man etc etc!!
@@biggd9817 I wouldn’t be surprised. I think Bud is the most skilled boxer personally.
@@levianthony3944 Here is what the end of the video literally says:
Thurman: ASKED for 10 million allegedly (his highest guarantee) no belt
Pacman: ASKED for 40 million
Porter: 2.5 million offer WOULD BE DISRESPECTFUL (his highest guarantee) no belt
It looks like you’re reading what you want to read instead of what’s actually there. Nothing was said about what they were actually offered.
Sir, the picture is at the end of a 10 minute video. How in the world would it get views? C’mon man. You can clean that last paragraph up first before we go on with any conversation.
Spence ask for no guarantee
Gervonta Tank Davis is the Real Black Peoples Champion! No other black fighter even come close to Tank, not Haney, shakur, or farmer ❤️ Tank! Respect 💯 Be honest... Congratulations to tank! But josh Taylor is undisputed champion of 140 lbs div. so htf did tank become a 3 division champion when Taylor has ALL THE BELTS. 🤣😂 call bs
