Jannibek is one of favorite fighters right now but he's damned Mikey Garcia'd himself in two separate occasions to make 160. He's 32 and needs to strongly consider moving to 168.
I said before Jannibek move up WBO can def gift Bud a Vacant shot like he did at 154 with the WBA. I still would like to see Mell Charlo go to 160 and get a belt and them him vs Bud unifying or just a general championship fight grudge match. Turki mentioned he would never work with Adamas again after Adamas ducked the Jannibek unification Turki was trying to do. So Ideally Mell getting that belt off him or Lara would set things up nicely as that will actually be a hype ass fight vs Bud because both will talk that shyt nd its for Black Folks so they can sell out ATL or double it as a homecoming for Bud at the big ass college stadium

I hear you but Crawford said he's not fighting Charlo.

He also said he'll never fight at home again.

This ironically made me a De La Hoya fan. Me so mad they gave Trinidad the victory made me root for Oscar lol
Oscar won imo but he ain't do himself no favors with how he fought the last 3 rounds.

Plus the boxing gods owed him for the Pernell and Quartey fights

He would've beat Tarver by UD 116-112'ish to me. I think even if he would've gotten caught by a counter left, he wouldn't been been KO'ed because up to that point, he had never been chinny
Roy had still been dropped before and occasionally would throw out a lazy punch, that same counter would have been available IMO, but it would have been more difficult to land/time. I believe he stops Tarver if none of the weight shyt happened though.
