Wilder's conditioning, self respect, character and faithful determination makes him difficult to wager against. AJ is the new Golden Child, earning millions regardless of opposition. He 's in no rush to risk it all on a dramatically awkward but iron willed Wild Card. If it happens in the next year, I like Deontay to derail the big UK dream.
Fury was fortunate Vlad didn't show up when they fought.
The idea that his performance displayed an ability to hang tough with AJ is non existent. At present he's an unlicensed fighter batting mental illness and drug addiction. You don't emerge from such terror without diligent work. His big mouth informs that he's healing very slowly. AJ as well as Wilder would destroy him if he fought either next year.
Wilder is as dangerous as he is clumsy. Just don't think AJ is ready for an awkward iron willed beast with fists of granite.
The intangibles in this contest are dynamic. Bravo if Joshua's team accepts the battle.
After 4 viewings I came up with a draw twice, an Alvarez victory once and a GGG win once. That 'broken man" fought those final stanzas like the Champ he is. 2 years ago, Saul would not have survived the fight. Time robbed Golovkin and nothing else.
Big George captured our hearts and imaginations with Olympic Gold during a magical period in the Heavyweight ranks.
Arum knows damn well Fury will NEVER be NEARLY as popular as this actual legend who achieved so very much in an unimaginable and astounding career.
Foreman achieved so very much in an unimaginable and astounding career?
What, with 3 wins over Moorer, Norton and Frazier? Yeah, unimaginable there. How you can't be great with such a huge resume is anyone's guess.
You make Arum sound sane in this piece. Nothing what Foreman did was unimaginable in any way. Nor is he great.
Foreman won a legit Heavyweight title two decades after his initial retirement.
Enough Said.
Floyd will also bring Bill Clinton's accusers to the ring with him and McGregor will bring all of the women FMJ has knocked Out. It will be a meaningless evening of Trump like money and attention grabbing. All talk, no substance.
Sour grapes Amir.
Algieri /Alexander would be a highly competitive fight.
You may very well get a call if Manny won't take 40 percent, but reports state that CBS is pushing Pac / Floyd as if their Showtime life depended upon it.
Amir won't cash out with Brook. He' s going to chase the Mayweather cash until FMJ calls it quits for real. The Algieri matchup is his way of saying he will risk nothing.
Roach seems a little bitter even though he says he wishes Amir well...In all honesty Pac got knocked out alot worse then Khan ever has...neutrally speaking I think both Khan and Pac win their rematches if they get em' Both were winning up untill getting caught.
Speaking from experience in and out of the ring, both fighters will probably never retain the ability to respond to pressure without the sensation that aggression will be their doom.
Manny is too brave for his own good.
Like Arguello he would be beaten twice by a more ignited opponent.
Khans fate is sealed. He whiskers are now beyond in doubt. He has none.
He will be caught again either by Molina or Garcia.
When their Boxer can't beat the Opponent inside the Ring,
Losers & Critics, usually do the bashing/beating outside the Ring,
using every dirty trick available, accusing the opponent of using illegal drugs, without even presenting solid evidences that can withstand Court scrutiny!
Very well stated. Thank you for being a civil voice of reason.
If Eddie Hearn has any integrity, he makes Wilder vs. AJ for Wembley in August or September. This iron is hot and the intangibles provide an air of drama unseen in the division in decades.
If you can't respect Wilder's courage and character in the face of what was surely imminent defeat, you ain't human. It was a massive triumph of the will.
You could see this one coming a mile, a jab and 6 pounds away. It's gonna be Monroe on regular HBO in December. It's the Copper Age Of Boxing my friends.
At the end of the day Arum will have a monopoly on the top fist fighters in the world. It's free enterprise at it's best and worst.
Oscar will struggle unless he can find a way for Golden Boy to go public.
Saul does not a company make.
It appears that educational experience has a more productive life span then Olympic experience.
The Racket Squad: In The Mist of a Fraudulent Empire
Fraud Mayweather once again giving the fans everything their little hearts do not desire.
His continued evasion of Manny Pacquiao will haunt him to his Lost Wages Nevada grave site.
Oh. I forgot. He hates Bob Arum.
I guess the silly fans feeding his family should simply be grateful that 'Money' takes their PPV bucks at all.
So let's stack that under card with cheesy delights.
I guess Broner knew Khan would school him so we get Luis and Molina to build another unsatisfactory climax for future PPV carnivals.
Pathetic greed with Alvarez now reading from the same playbook.
It's Showtime!
Styles make fights and to tell you the truth at least El Pantera bring the one punch power to the table. Brinkley is a joke seriously a joke. He has no power and has not fought a live body in forever. The last fight this past weekend was against a 5'7" SMW with arms like a JWW. They kept saying that the kid from Brownsville never run never will had power to KO but he was only throwing a left hook which Brinkley kept leaning forward anf having it pass behind his head. Bute by KO over Brinkley and Miranda to me right now is the tougher fight but Bute will win that be easy UD.
The "serious joke" you refer to puts his life on the line everytime he laces 'em up.
Jesse is a breath of fresh leather. He actually enjoys the craft. His limitations do not make him laughable. It's a dishonor to all athletes who engage the sweet science to call even one a joke.
I don't like Floyd for many reasons. He's too defensive and in being such can be offensive to watch, especially when he practices his craft against lesser talents at 50 bucks a pop. But he is hardly a joke. I am comparing the elite to the journeyman because without the club fighter there would be no such thing as professional boxing.
