      Hope they both just go away now. Bring on Ennis and Ortiz. The other two are old anyways. Time to retire. Don’t want to fight a real threat and you can forget them fighting Ennis or Ortiz. Too risky and NO MONEY in it.

        Can someone please explain to me how having Al Haymon as manager/promoter has made his fighters more money and a better fighter? PBC guys don't fight other promoter's fighter because Al Haymon wants the lions share of revenue and must be distributed through Showtime only. I get all of that. But when his fighters aren't fighting other top stars because of their promoter, and they aren't even fighting the top fighters from their own stable, how do Haymon's fighters make real money?

        Frustrating for me as a boxing fan. SMH.

          Spence is the same age as Canelo lol. Boots gets hit often and those rabbit punches are going to get him DQ'ed. Spence would beat Boots imo. You hear trainers say Spence looks so basic until you're in there with him. Boots needs to build his name up more. I wish Thurman didn't have whatever evidence he has on the WBC because he should not be a mandatory.

          Bud needs to fight Ortiz, I know people love talking about size or weight bullies and I don't think Ortiz is an exception to that. I wish the Boss Bud lol would have made that call since he said his name didn't come up at all.

            Haney has ALL the belts at 135 lbs. And he beat the guy who beat Lomachenko.

            There's nobody above him right now.

              ...but NSB said that Mikey was a nothing win that did nothing for Spence.

              Here's Crawford validating the win.

              NSB, how do you feel about this?

                I’ll man up. I thought Mikey would win. And I ate my words for thinking that. I even went to that fight. I’m from Cincinnati and only been to 3 fights in my life. All elite, big time fights. But this was the first one I had been to some 2006. That’s how confident I was that he had a shot. I was as much ‘hopeful’ as I was thinking he’d win.

                But i feel like you guys all forget the timing of all this. Mikey was undefeated. And a lot of you overlook this, but he was putting people on their ass! He was a slow stalking shark, but he always got his bite. He was belt chasing, I admit. For some That’s the goal. For others, it’s not important. But he was on a great path in the game, making a name for himself. As an undefeated fighter that’s at the elite level, I have NO problem whatsoever if someone strives for greatness. None. I admire him for trying.

                in todays game. No one tries. He would’ve been like only the 3rd to have those 5 weight titles. (Floyd and Paq I believe). Who WOULDN’T try that if you’re undefeated????? Y’all are way too harsh on Mikey. He fizzled in the end. It’s cool. But he was on the cusp of greatness. He did come up short but he tried!!

                  Boots gets hit way too much? We must be watching a different Jaron Ennis because Ennis is destroying everyone. He deserves a shot more than Thurman.. come on.. Thurman hasnt been active. Thurman needs to fight Boots or Ortiz to be considered for a title shot IMO. Right now I have boots and Ortiz over Thurman just due to activity. Bud and Spence need to fight Boots and Ortiz if they insist on ducking each other.

                      Dud duckford won’t answer why he never fought mikey garcia at 135 OR 140 when both were with top rank. Same reason he didn’t fight DSG or manny. They all had good chances of beating him. Dud is too busy beating up mean machine Amir khan Julius indongo Ricky burns David avensyan claiming he’s the greatest p4p fighter since floyd to actually beat any top fighter not fighting their retirement fight lol. On the flip side, spence beat all the fighters dud stayed away from under top rank: mikey garcia DSG and he beatdown the guy who beat manny. This comes down to dud not thinking he can win. The transparency thing was settled. No one got any gaurantee not even spence and duds little mystery investor story lmao. This dud a BUM
