    He better listen to Dre & get someone legit on board with him for the next few months. T-Wood definitely gots some hands & power, but he needs some strategy in his corner & some legit boxing guys working with him the next few weeks.

    Main issues I see is T-Wood doesn't throw enough. He waits for the perfect counter instead of trying to just do something or better yet setup counter situations. People will mention the size being an issue, T-Wood fought at 170, but Jake doesn't appear to cut weight & I think T-Wood is probably gonna need to cut weight to make 190.

      Ward is the right trainer. Woodley is old and doesn't throw much. He should fight like old Bernard Hopkins. Hold and hit, hit on breaks, stay on the guy, no distance.

        I literally wrote why in the paragraph above
        What I hadn't realised was that Silva is fighting Chavez when I wrote that this morning but the point still stands, if he's going down the route of washed up MMA stars, it should be a former 85'er not 170 and not a wrestler

          Who said that? GSP was and still is pretty much unanimously regarded as the best WW ever.

          And you're talking about a sport that for all practical purposes came into existence in the 1990s. Of course theres going to be more fighters raising the bar than in boxing when its such a young sport.

            Woodley sparks Jake Paul. Jake is just acting like he wants that overhand right, or nice liver shot. Jake is biting off more than he can chew. Save this comment all of you that aspire to hate.

                    I’m rooting for Jake. He’s my new favourite boxer.

                      According to who? the Mt Rushmore of MMA is Jones, GSP, Anderson and Fedor and has been for ages.

                      But again, new standards will be set relatively regularly (Khabib as best LW, Nunes as best female etc) for the simple fact that the sport is like 30 years old. You can **** on it for that if you want, but the flipside is boxing will probably never have a serious GOAT contender ever again, 99% of the sports best fighters ever came and went already.
