Absolutely agree. He doesn’t have to fight the #2 guy every fight, but the opponent should at least be ranked in the top 10-15 of the division and not some old kickboxer. This is embarrassing
Probably at this point. Even though I don’t like Dana or Turki, they can’t possibly make the sport worse than it is. Besides moving all the fights to SA, of course.
People definitely did stop caring about them, and I bet that’s part of why they are doing a rematch now. They can get a big payday and back in the spotlight and people will watch it because stupid gimmick fights are the thing now.
Good move honestly, going out on top like that. It’s only downhill from your peak. Think of how Roy Jones career would have looked had retired after he beat Ruiz for a heavyweight title instead of moving back down and getting knocked out a bunch.
As el*** said, I hope AJ didn't take a payoff to carry this guy. That would be the absolute worst scenario.
I'm worried about that too. Joshua has the easiest chance to redeem himself by putting that dumbass to sleep. Or he can embarrass himself further. I'm going to watch just in case it is real.
Joshua has the easiest chance to redeem himself with this. Paul is outstandingly unlikable. If Joshua pits him to sleep he’ll be celebrated by everyone.
Just a heads up.
The movie is available now on TUBI and it features numerous boxers, including Roy Jones Jr, Iran Barkley and Shannon Briggs among many others plus fight clips, etc
I just finished it and really enjoyed it! I never got to see you fight cause I was just a kid in the 90s, but I’ve been a fan of yours as a trainer and an analyst and your charity work. You’re a class act for sure. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
The only thing I’m shocked about is that it wasn’t the WBC that ranked him first. Honestly though, let one of the real ranked guys get a good payday by fighting him, and they’ll also beat him and maybe that will put an end to this.
Canelo, age 35 (prime) vs Crawford, age 37 (prime) Canelo has only lost two fights, one of those to TBE Mayweather, and the other, a very close loss (fact, 115-113 on all cards) to a much bigger man in Bivol. Crawford has never lost, and has beaten ATG's/HOF's like Spence, Brook, and Khan (Canelo also beat HOF Khan)
If Crawford was coming off the Spence performance, not the Madrimov, people would give him more chance, but to Nash, he's the same guy, the problem is, like Canelo vs Bivol, the size difference could become an issue. It's not like in HW, when anyone over 15 stone is powerful enough to knock out any man in the world, these are not of that power, especially Crawford, so Canelo could brute strength his way to a win.
Nash believes Canelo wins 116-112 and it sets up the fight of fights of Canelo vs Jake Paul for the Face of Boxing. Nash out - His Majesty
Your highness should add a poll. I made one the other day for it, but no one cared or posted in it since I am a peasant. But a thread by the great Nash will attract the masses.
Also - Canelo by decision or possible stoppage. I would like to see Crawford pull the upset though.
Canelo Alvarez vs Terrence Crawford was a RIGGED and FIXED FIGHT. Canelo ‘’threw the fight’’ by purposely missing & hesitating punches.
The Canelo Alvarez vs Terrence Crawford fight was obviously a FIXED FIGHT.
Canelo ‘’threw the fight’’ and ‘’layed down’’.
Canelo hardly engaged in fighting Terernce and refused to attack Terrence effectively when Canelo had Terrence against the ropes..
Just watch the replay (without volume to avoid distractions) and stay focused on Canelo’s gloves only and you will see Canelo’s punches missed & others were mostly thrown in the air and other fake punches landed on Terrence’s waist, arms and gloves instead of the Terrence’s body.

When Canelo had Terrence on the ropes Canelo refused to hit Terrence and let him get away and other times Canelo would throw sloppy weak punches to Terrence’s side waist, arms and gloves and not the body.
Canelo also looked sedated from the start of the fight because Canelo may have been drugged before the fight to make him fight weak (kind of like when George Foreman was drugged before he fought Cassius Clay in The Rumble in the Jungle in Zaire).
Terrence’s team also probably had illuminati hitmen hold a group of Canelo’s friends or associates hostage in Mexico and threaten to kill them if Canelo did not throw the fight. Death threats have happened in major boxing fights over the past decades.
Also look at Canelo before the fight began while he and Terrence were listening to referee’s instructions. Canelo just stared down cause he was sad and knew that he had to ‘’throw the fight’’.
Then after the fight in the post –fight commentary Canelo does not give an explanation as to his lack of performance in the ring against Terrence. He just says he’s ‘’proud of his performance’’ and reaching this far in boxing. Canelo doesn’t even ask for a rematch in a supposedly close fight because one FIXED FIGHT is bad enough, so he doesn’t want another FIXED FIGHT against Terrence.
Wow. This has to be a troll thread.
No.
However, the 1:00am start time on the East Coast ( I am in NJ) was just f-cking ridiculous.
The main event should’ve started at 10:00pm EST to maximize viewership.
I was falling asleep in the chair for the first four rounds or so. I was about to call it quits and watch it in the morning, but the fight was too good I was able to stay up and finish it.
