LMAO at overrating Michael Spinks. The guy was about as good as Nathan Cleverly. Beat a bunch of C/D/E guys, then the shell of Larry Holmes, who was crap anyway, then lost to Tyson in R1, the same man who lost against the 5 best opponents he faced - Lewis, Holyfied X2, Buster, Danny the Brixton Bomber" Williams, and McBride. Nash out.

Funny how people always notice the lessons Canelo learnt from Floyd but tend to fail to notice - or at least credit - the development he took from GGG 1. To my eye it's since then that Canelo really became the patient stalking pressure fighter that he is today - forcing the errors instead of waiting for them - and it's very much to his credit that he's able to adapt and learn from the fighters he shares a ring with, and take the best part of their styles and make it his own.

You're suggesting the Mexican learned Mexican-style pressure fighting from Golovkin?

I can’t wait to Spence and Craw finally make the match for the fans

He will fight for belts, it will be his next fight, or right after that. In 2022 we will see lightweight tournament in a way, as all these guys are aiming at kambosos, and each of them is mandatory, so eventually we ware going to see who is the man in 135.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Unless Haney prices himself out, I think he fights Kambosos first. If Haney wins, he might make Loma wait until 2023. I really don't see Tank or Ryan Garcia stepping up to fight the winner even if they are mandatory.

The only guy I see being able to beat Spinks at 175 would be Ezzard Charles. Possible Roy Jones. 175 was a golden era during the late 70's. Spinks beat them all. Qawi gave Holyfield all he could handle and more. Eddie Mustapha Mohammed. Marvin Johnson. Yaqui Lopez. Those were real fighters. Nathan Cleverly? Come on.

If I remember correctly the winner of a boxing round always gets the 10 points, there is no 9-8 or 9-9 rounds.
Even in a situation where both fighters get knocked down, the more dominant fighter that round will get the 10 points.

Have the rules for this changed lately? I’m confused by his answer to the Teo round.

Haney should get Aussie next and settle his beef with Loma once and for all after

We all know there's verious US State Boxing HOF's, but is there a British one? Surely the like's of Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, John H.Stracey, John Conteh & Maurice Hope ETC, (all of whom are not in Castastota) should be included in a UK tribute.

I used to think it was 9–9 or 9–8 too, especially in the case of double KDs, but as far as I know the only time a round is not scored by the 10 is when there's a referee point deduction for the winner of that round.

I'm really not feeling this "fighter gets knocked down but can still win the round" crap. It's called 10-point must for a reason.

Loma will have to walk the gauntlet now. No more hand fed opponents

That's hilarious. What hand fed opponents?
