Terrible idea to drop out of high-school to focus on a boxing career. First, high-school is a bare minimum education, and secondly, you can still pursue a professional career while in high-school.
If I knew you personally and could talk to you I would tell you to use high-school and boxing as ways to focus on something productive and cultivate discipline in your life. Go to the gym everyday, do your homework, don't get involved in partying, drinking alcohol or anything like that. Have a rigorous workout routine on Saturdays, rest on Sundays and eat a healthy diet that helps you be at your best.
By the time you're done with high-school you will have built a solid foundation of discipline and good habits that can help take your life amd boxing career to next level.
Maybe but Floyd can't duck these guys if he wants credibility resume wise. If Floyd beat brook, Spence and bud historically they might not even be ATG wins, Floyd leaves that someone else to judge so you got to fight them at very least
Duck these guys? I'm only talking about Brook, and Floyd vs Brook was never a big fight to make. I agree Floyd shouldn't get credit for fights that didn't happen, but Mayweather vs Brook was never a fight in high demand. I'm just answering the thread question. It's true all the young welterweight champions wanted a crack at Floyd back in the day, but those are not ducks, especially when Floyd was just a part time fighter.
I don't understand why you're bringing up Spence and Bud, these were never fights that needed to be made. Sure they techbically could've happened, but these fighters are from different generations. The thread starter had a simple question regarding a hypothetical match up and I answered with my opinion. I'm not saying Floyd gets credit for beating Brooks, Floyd doesn't need Kell Brook on his resume he has much better credentials than what a win over Brook would give him (no disrespect to Kell).
Charlo makes sense for a Cinco de Mayo showdown in Texas. After that either Benavides or Bivol would be good opponents. I'm over the GGG fight, but it seems it's one Canelo's interested I'm now so that will rake place this year.

It's safe to assume it's more than just ¨rumours¨
More than one way to enjoy them chocolate brownies I guess
I always thought it was weird how he came in so light against Zefara. He looks to me like he would've made for a decent superwelterweight, but he never made a run for it. He looked good physically at 160 against GGG so I figured he would be able to handle himself at 154...
I don't think so. Amir looked better than he has in a while, especially early on the fight before being made to dance from jabs. After 4 rounds he was losing speed and the snap from his punches were wearing off. Kell looked like a tiger playing with his food by then.
Point being, the trainer can't miraculously make a fighter great. At the top level it becomes a game of inches and microseconds, and all a trainer can really help a fighter with is strategy, tactics, mentality, conditioning, etc. Khan looked ready, fast, slippery and focused, it just wasn't enough.
It's the only true championship in all of boxing history is a pretty good reason.
Only when there's an undisputed is there a clear single best of the division. Lineal has never done that. Obviously being a belt holder doesn't do that either.
Exactly. It's the only way to be a champion. Anything less is just a titlist.
Because the issue is not with the fighters it's within themselves. They're crusading for an ideology and targeting fighters that represent what they dislike. These fighters represent an opportunity to attack what they hate. If things blow up for them they can go to another platform, create another account or find other (virtual) ways to continue their empty onslaught.
Posters like you are rare and your objectivity goes unnoticed because that's not what most people care about here. They'll point out hypocrisies but in the off chance they realize you're objective they won't recognize it.
I think he deserves to be #1. People will knock on Donaire due to his age but he was not looking like an old fighter before this fight or even during this fight. Give Inoue his respect :boxing:
They're both ridiculous. I can only understand an interim champion under unique circumstances, but world champion should really he just one. If the organizations want to give unified champions more flexibility to defend against mandatory they can extend the timeliness to defend their titles without creating other "regular" titles. At that point they're just glorified number 1 contenders.
