Thank you Breadman! We appreciate all the insight and the knowledge from inside and outside the ropes! Great job as always, sir, well done!

Breadman, there's no rebuilding or rebounding for Spence, he's done as a top A fighter after that destructive, beat down vs T-Bud.

Only thing for Spence to do now is to enter "business mode" from here on out, take some easy fights and maximize his earning potential before retirement.

Spence needs to stay away from Crawford at any weight and Bud needs stay and finish his career at 147.

T-Bud don't have the frame for 154.

Excellent mailbag in terms of both questions and answers. Deep and insightful this week.

lol that ding dong had charlo by ko hahaha. yall goofy as hell

100% on Charlo. He tried but his style was all wrong for Canelo.

I don't understand the dry humping of Jermell's leg as to his boxing skills with his putrid showing against Alvarez. Let's see what Jermell has in the tank for his next fight. Obviously, it won't be at 168. It will be back down to 154 for Charlo. A fight against Tszyu makes sense - - when Tim beats Mendoza. That would unify the belts again. On the horizon, a fight against Crawford would be another big payday for Jermell or Tszyu. But I see Tszyu walking through Jermell's low volume output and doing whatever it takes to win that fight. Even if it means getting knocked down - - he'll get up and fight to the death. That's how he's wired.

Phuck outta here! Charlo never made adjustments because if he did one thing canelo had the answer, canelo made charlo fight the way he fought and don’t get that twisted. Bread says he saw the same Jermell be patient and “try” to make adjustments and score a late ko?! That’s laughable at best he def was very patient, but canelo never allowed mell any attempt to adjust or go for the knockout and I don’t care what no one says, that’s what I saw and the reason I believe it played out that way wasn’t because charlo didn’t try. It was because canelos power made him fight that way, it’s more to do with what canelo did then what jermell failed to do. You mean to tell me that had he won he would have gotten 100 million dollars worth of fights and knowing that he didn’t try? Nah, he wasn’t allowed to try…. Point blank period.

First, I feel for fans that bought into the marketing that are now disappointed. I get that, the fight was not as marketed but make no mistake, it was exactly as designed. More over, laying this at Charlo's feet and giving Canelo a pass is EXACTLY why there are no competitive fights, because they aren't necessary. Just look at the facts..... Canelo holds the purse strings, Canelo hand picks the opponent, Canelo chooses the time and weight and terms and testing and location...everything. Sure Jermell Charlo took the 8 mil...and so would everyone, including me, you and your favorite fighter...

Charlo had 2 choices, throw caution into the wind and risk real life changing damage or continue doing what he was doing and take the loss .

The real question....Why was Charlo picked at all? Was there no other opponent for Canelo? Could the opponent have been closer weight and talent. Was there no one else begging to face Canelo that might have presented a better challenge? Or was Charlo just a very beatable name marketed as a potential threat because of his height? The day the fight was announced most agreed it was a mismatch right up until the marketing machine kicked in and all of a sudden Chalo was the threat.... not Morrel, Benavidez, Andrade or Plant.

So here we are, deprived of a life altering Kirkland style beating for our entertainment. Who's at fault. is it the player or the game? If you don't like being fed these noncompetitive fights then STOP paying for them and the menu will change.

Another thing, any version of Floyd mayweather wouldn’t beat the 168 canelo. Weight classes matter, canelo would be too strong and would hurt Floyd with power shots and because of it the feint game would allow canelo to manipulate Floyd and run him into power shots all night until he would either get stopped or lose by decision if he chose to survive which I could see him surviving because he’s one of the greatest defensive boxers ever. Canelo at 152 didn’t have the power he has now, and the experience. It’s day and night. Bread knows that, he just ducked the answer. I don’t know my ass… he chose to not know lol pathetic
