I have finally convinced myself that Salka can actually pull it off, here's why:
His supreme footwork will make Danny look flat footed, just compare their jump rope training videos. He can keep Garcia at a distance and make him throw wide shots. Garcia will be out of his comfort zone.
Salka is very good at blocking/dodging left hooks, Garcia's greatest weapon. Garcia also cuts easily against fighters with good hand speed.
If Garcia gives dirty low blows Salka like he did to Matthysse, Salka will go madman on him like he did against Collado here:
Salka's record is not great but I think a lot of it has to do with him having too many commitments outside of boxing until a couple of years ago. He had side-jobs, was his own promoter, etc.
Garcia is carrying a lot of mental fatigue from the backlash for this fight and this could be a factor against him, especially in the later rounds. Add in the pressure for getting a stoppage and this could mess up his game plan.
Knowing the competitors are giving 100% (or close to it). Might not always be the case, but likelier than most other sports.
All the training, physical and mental, that goes into pursuing peak performance.
I see a combination of Bradley's superior work-rate and Pac's stamina issues causing a late TKO.
Bradley to win in rounds 10-12 for +2000 looks way too juicy to not take a bite.
How much of a fight do you think Usmanee will put up? I was surprised to see him get almost the same odds as Rocky. Beltran looks like he is in solid form.
Ted Gizma is a criminal. I believe this is what you are looking for:
"WBA-appointed Klitschko-Povetkin judge Ted Gimza has been given special permission by the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Lake County, Illinois, to leave the USA to work the WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight championship fight on October 5 in Moscow, Russia. Gimza, who in a plea bargain pled guilty to a felony weapons charge on July 29th (Lake County Case Number: 12CF382) is serving a two-year probation which includes 24/7 electronic home monitoring, a.k.a. “ankle bracelet” for a period of 160 days which extends well past the fight date. According to Keith S. Brin, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Lake County, Gimza has been granted the right to leave the country between October 1 and October 7 for employment purposes and is released from electronic home monitoring during the above time periods. The WBA is aware of Gimza’s legal situation and both camps have signed off on him working the fight." Via f1ghtn3ws

A few potential opponents that I didn't see mentioned yet: Josesito, Abregu, Cano.
As a Khan fan, I wouldn't be mad at any of those fights as long it's not marketed as a setup for the Mayweather fight in May, unless he looks beastly at 147.
Stevens KO1...yes you read that right. I hope you GGG n*thuggers have sick days at work, they're going to come in handy come Monday.
And yes...I did put my money where my mouth is, max betting Stevens by KO in the first round at various sportsbooks for odds from +5000 all the way to +12000.
I can't wait for the post-fight interview, all GGG will be able to say in English is, "this is just BOXX, this BOXX you know, I want rematch."
I keep rewinding the head butt flop to see how quick he was to make the decision to flop, as if it was predetermined. Almost Judah level of desperation.
Thurman is kinda scary. Looks like a mad man

What happened to Chaves? Has he fought since Thurman? That was a good fight.
Lol, Thurman looks so Dothraki.
Easily Floyd/Maidana.
Im so tired of Floyd critizing Pac yet finding it acceptable to fight trash like Khan who has fought worser opposition.
Rios would brutally stop Molina and Diaz yet Khan going the distance and looking awful against them is soooooo much better then shutting out Rios.

Nothing personal, just thought I would let you know that my respect for an individual's intellect plummets when I hear that word spoken. If you do use that word on a regular basis, other people might look at you the same way.
Add those pellets and the man with the black hat he will be unstoppable!!!
He's taking full advantage of those pellets now. So much so that his excessive arm hair growth from "TRT" left trimmer trails on his forearm (pic 2). No wonder he always wears long sleeves for open workouts...
