Funnt thing is that Floyd filled arenas because he had a Hispanic fighting on the undercard and many of his "fans" actually wanted im to lose. (the White fans ).

So people filled up arenas to see the Mexicans on the undercard? Why didn't those Mexicans fill up arenas any other time? Lmaooo

Mayweather vs Mosley did more ppv buys than any Mexican vs Mexican fight in history. Real facts.

Mexican fans don't really buy ppv. Morales and Barrera wasn't even doing big ppv numbers against each other and thats the best trilogy ever.

The black fanbase is the reason Floyd was ppv king. Nobody else.

I don’t think Floyd was ever IBF champion. Lol.

He was briefly after he beat judah because that was for the IBF title but he vacated it after like a month

Nobody cares that your height and weight are personality traits. Nobody cares about your failed MMA career.

Big Tings a gwan at Top Rank:

Top Rank planning Josh Taylor-Teofimo Lopez junior welterweight fight, sources say

Top Rank is planning a Josh Taylor-Teofimo Lopez junior welterweight title fight this summer in the U.K., sources told ESPN, but no deal has been struck yet.

The 140-pound fight, if it's finalized, is expected to take place in May or June, sources said, and there do not appear to be any major obstacles to a deal.

Taylor (19-0, 13 KOs) had been set to meet Jack Catterall in a rematch March 4, but the bout was postponed after Taylor tore a plantar fascia last month. The 32-year-old champion said he would be able to resume training in approximately six to eight weeks.

Taylor defended his undisputed championship against Catterall last February and emerged with a split-decision victory, but the judging was marred in controversy. Now, Catterall will probably have to wait for his chance to set the record straight.

Taylor and Lopez have been on a collision course for years as they've traded insults. Most recently, Lopez vowed to knock Taylor out before he scored a controversial split-decision win over Sandor Martin in December.

"I'd tear him up, from the body to the head, he's not going to know which one I'm going to hurt him with," Lopez, who fights out of Las Vegas, told Sky Sports in December. "A lot of people would like to see me take on Josh Taylor, and I've been calling him out.

"Especially to do it out there in the U.K., I really want to experience that. ... I actually will put him down better than what Catterall did. He won't come back up, that's all I can tell you."

Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs) captured the undisputed lightweight championship with a decision victory over Vasiliy Lomachenko in October 2020.

In ESPN's 2021 Upset of the Year, Lopez lost his titles to George Kambosos. Afterward, Lopez moved up to 140 pounds, where he has now competed twice. The 25-year-old Lopez is rated No. 10 at junior welterweight by ESPN.

Taylor, who is a star in Scotland, is ESPN's No. 2 junior welterweight. After the Catterall fight, he vacated three of his four titles to pursue the rematch (and avoid the mandatory obligations with various No. 1 contenders that would block the return bout).

But following various attempts to schedule the rematch, it appears Taylor is ready to move on, at least for now.

The matchup with Lopez is genuinely a marquee fight both across the pond and stateside. It's also one Taylor is ultra-confident he'll win.

"He is a very good, very skilled fighter, but I do believe that on my night I take him to bits," Taylor told Sky Sports in December. "He's a bit of a clown. He seems to look past his opponents all the time. It's twice he's made the same mistake and almost paid the price for it again.

"He thinks he's God's gift, and then he comes crashing back down to Earth with a ****. ... Let's not forget, he did very well to beat Lomachenko, but he beat a small, injured lightweight that really could make featherweight."

Taylor first must fully recover from yet another injury. The plantar fascia connects the heel bone to the toes to create the arch of the foot, and it's considered a highly painful injury.

Taylor and Lopez were both on ESPN's pound-for-pound list at the same time before Lopez's loss to Kambosos. Taylor, too, dropped off the list after the performance vs. Catterall.

Taylor's impressive resume includes wins over Jose Ramirez and Regis Prograis.

Catterall, meanwhile, is slated to return March 25 in Manchester, Boxxer announced, but no opponent has been finalized.

I gave facts, but I'm delusional?


Lmaooo, only on the internet do people ignore facts for fantasy

[BlackRobb]

Navarrete knows he'd get washed by Ramirez. That and the fact he can no longer make 126. Dogboe isn't beating Ramirez.
