I never thought...

As far as Floyd I can think Bud def has the better reputation and overall fan grabbing appeal and would pick him to beat Floyd maybe in a 147 window. But I don't think he tops Floyd's record scalp for scalp overall. I've always liked Bud but the inactivity level drove me crazy and imo think he cut himself short. Certainly zero reason to think he suddenly gets active now off a Canelo W and at 38 years old. But would love to see him dip into 160. A seriously dead division with a Janibek v Adames unification, a very solid fan friendly match up, that feels like it would have already come off in the days of HBO and Showtime. Maybe even twice by now. Talk of Benavidez is just no thanks. Tired of these unnecessary names for the sake of name division conflations and boxing not positioning itself for the coming years. 175 has its own huge fights not being made quick enough and the Bivol v Beterbiev trilogy with "Benavidez gets winner" in la la land. Then again, if Crawford also announces retirement next month it's not at all shocking being honest.
