only crossover that should ever be allowed is in heavyweight. ngannou beat fury, verhoven was beating usyk until the stoppage at the end of the 11th round
heavyweight boxing crossovers only where power matters. ngannou beat fury. verhoven was beating usyk until the ref stoppage in the 11th. usyk was literally losing that fight though kickboxing we do train boxing more than MMA for its kickboxing no focus on takedowns/groundwork.
ben Whittaker should be the fight to make morrell is all flash. Iglesias I still rank highly, the cuban middleweight who sparred canelo as well still gives cuba hope
————-
So Tyson pulled his punches against Roy too? And against Jake Paul too?
Tyson is 59 years old and if he chooses not to “pull” his punches, perhaps he should unretire and fight Usyk or AJ. Hmmm?
tyson 100% pulled his punches vs Jake Paul, powers the last thing to go he threw zero power shots. Jake Paul got heart but he ain't even a contender let alone alphabet belt holder. every top 20 168-heavyweight is smoking dude , every top 10-154-160 beats him, every top 3 140-147 beats Jake Paul in boxing, Jake Pauls next fight, should be canelo, Bud, or if a gimmicky real fight Poatan from the UFC
multiple threats to benavidez Jail vs benavidez is 60/40 , zurdo was getting smoked by jai in a fight and was the weaker champ. Bivol is 50/50 if next or maybe 60% bivol if it's next because weight draining will be real,, 2 more potential future threats @ 175 would be morrell 2 in 3-4 more fights but more threatening would be Iglesias in 3 years max. I think Iglesias is the best and oversized @ 168 would be a legit champ @ 175. ben Whittaker in 2 years if he's the real deal, for id like to see Whittaker fight morrell jr no later than next year, Iglesias should become undisputed champ @ 168. if bud comes back he should fight boots next year, for if I'm boots team he's fighting the winner of the spence fight then going on ortiz then the giant and Crawford will get the itch & want of a 25m+ check next year.
Spence vs Boots boots team needs to overpay for a name boots k.o of Spence in a devasting fashion would drum out the cry and possible arab money backing of a boots vs bud fight. Bud is retired but every fighter gets the itch and when the money is right, they get bored with retired & wants the lights again , or go broke they all comeback. name 1 modern boxer who stayed retired. bud never made 25m until his last fight so keep that in mind. inflation real, hell want another 25m+ check and that only would come with Mayweather, canelo or Boots Mayweather won't take such a risk hes dreading a Pacquiao rematch, Canelo doesn't want to get embarrassed again, leaving boots as the only legit option.
boxing matches to be made, benavidez vs bivol then if wins, he goes cruiserweight full time to jai. if neither can be made then 175 beterbiev. jai needs to get his name out more I'm sure Dana White will promote him well. 175 has tons of potential and needs to be thinned out buatsi vs morrell needs to be made, bivol beterbiev 3 needs to be made, ben Whittaker needs to start fighting names,I see Iglesias @ SMW moving up soon.
How serious is yoka aat this point. He's 33 it's do it die. If I'm his manager he's fighting efe the most beatable top 10. A lost puts you the okolie fight back on, yet a win puts you on top 10 territory name will come up as an opponent for a belt. If not another top 10 win say frank sanchez or gassiv will put you in a title fight.
So his lawsuit vs showtime will cost millions to 10m plus 75-100m to the lawyers if he wins.his breech of his contract will not only force him to payback with interest what he took out in advance but millions to 10m in legal fees. Let's not forget the iRS, countless lawsuits and creditors. He's robbing Peter to pay Paul, this guy is in bad debt not just broke, his cash flow is in red, he holds no major endorsements because his personality, he will be forced to take the pac fight.
Floyd is borderline broke in debt yet is unwilling to risk his 0. Ofcourse netflix already overpaid him guaranteed money for no risk, Mike Tyson will pull his punches, Pacquiao 2. Floyd prided himself on being more athletic than others yet with age speed goes first
Yes and no. It's a business jai would mop benavidez the bigger money is a bivol a loss there warrants the I was weight drained excuse time to go back to Cruiser beat the lowest ranked champ then cash out for a whippin vs Jai.
2 fights 15m sounds like prograis is for Benn to test 147 and Ryan garcia , Tank, Pacquiao/Mayweather winner will be the 2nd fight to repay the money spent on the contract and for zuffa to gain publicity in the process
Only way the fight is happening is if the saudis pay floyd 500m for this 1 fight other than that we know what the script is. Pacman 2 for 200m and ilia Topuria under boxing rules for another 200-300m. If I'm Mayweather manager I would only be targeting 4 fights pacqman 2 for 150-200m, lara @ 157/160 for the belt for legacy on paper and 125m. (Market it as floyd going up in weight risking his 0 for a belt), ' though Lara is the weakest champ right now within a weight class reach, floyds 3rd fight for 200-250m vs Ilia Topuria under boxing consider it Mayweather vs Connor 2, Floyds last fight if he wants it since it's Netflix would be Jake Paul for 125-200m. 4 fights 750m with another 100m from winnings or signing bonus going towards investments in Gold Bitcoin and the sp500 Mayweather couldn't touch until 2040
You have to beat the man to be the man canelo dodged every legit threat so beating him doesn't make you the man. I don't count 154 or 168 for Bud cause of such. Yet it's boxing and how it always goes
Pacquiao, possibly barrios if he beats garcia, new belt weight division record setting he will fight erislandy lara @ 160 or Jake Paul catch weight retire again after 2 fights 300m. I could even see a 3rd fight in boxing vs Ilia Topuria 3 fights 500-750m total and 1 legacy builder 160 champ vs the weakest link in lara. Janibek boots ortiz canelo still osley, benn all to risky. Ilia would ppv 2/3 mcgregor numbers with lowest risk brining in 200m, Pacquiao rematch would bring 150-200m since Pac-Man activity raises intrigue in losing the 0, lara is 100m for a defensive boring fight that the judges will give to Mayweather based off being the bigger name n $.
Reports of not paying folks, selling his jet, name nor business not on most the real estate he supposedly owned in NYC, gambling losses, lawsuit vs al haymon for 340m with a return to unretire within 90 days all the evidence even circumstancial shows he's burned through most his money. Dude gambles at minimum 50m a year we all know 99% of the time you lose and whenever you win big it's really only breaking even covering your big losses or after tax on your winnings your still negative ya know. You lose 100m over 3 yrs to win 100m 4th yr 60m after tax means you lose 40m after you paid the tax man, this ninja been retired for a decade so yeah he lost 100m gambling easily. We all know this from sports betting. Lastly when you read Mayweather lawsuit vs showtime/al haymon dude money was going through various shady activities which shows he really can't read or else he would manage some of his accounts instead of just accessing money
Puerto Rican are american yet I would've atleast had bad bunny do a feature in English. What liberals did on the Superbowl is like getting a non Spanish speaker to do the sole entertainment for the Dominican Puerto rican day parade. No one is going to the Mexican gold cup and performing in English well same rules should apply
Usyk needs to knock the rust off before an agit fight he's maxing out his pay in the process his schedule will be wilder, agit,(legit threat) fury vs AJ winner for AJ vs Fury will happen in the UK or Saudi then usyk fights the winner all retire after
Lost to povetkin similar size and make up. I guess didnt want to grind through the ranks. Would he have beaten either klitschko tyson fury or prof aj. I dont believe so for he was 1 notch below povetkin which is good but if stayed fighting along the way as 1 not below povetkin hed been a high predigree so paid gatekeeper. Unlese could cut to cruiser then wouldve been a monster marco huck like reign.
When Floyd was pretty boy Floyd that resume alone defines his legacy for money Mayweather everything was rigged from weight clauses to waiting until offensive style fighters age lose a step before fighting
Parker is to high risk he's fighting a boxer with a chin similar size higher ring IQ, instead of losing or looking like shh just wait the usyk fight out though he will get lopsided by usyk (again)
