    There's 15,000 casual Australian fans waiting at the gate in Vegas. Plus, 150k PPV buys directly from Australia & a stacked card showcasing some of the best Aussie talent. Tszyu is proven already. The other top-level fighters know where the smoke's at & it's time for them to bring something to the table in March 2024.

    Tszyu has gone the distance seven times in his career, all of those decision victories were unanimous by wide margins. He was beating Tony Harrison 5 rounds to 3 on all cards before stopping him.
    first what is your point ? second i am sure you know all about " the smoke " that you speak of but i am not a smoker myself --often smoke is nothing more then a way to cloud the truth ......

      Fundora should try to get a fight or two between now and then , if he's successful, he might be a decent opponent for Tim. If they want a PPV level fight , it's Charlo.j

        There's nothing in it for Crawford or Tszyu to fight each other. Risky fight for Tszyu for nothing and not much in it for Crawford either.

          Think the biggest ‘name’ that could be hoped for would be Danny Garcia seeing as his WBA middleweight fight with Lara was rumoured to be at 155 catchweight.

          Fight I’d like to see? Lubin. Castano would be decent as well, but not sure how well that would do and I’m not sure he’s been active. There’s a real dearth at 154 at the moment.
          Castano is all washed up unfortunately, shame I would have loved to see that fight.

            too bad we are not living in a world where fighters made fights before they called out half a dozen level fighters. He has been tested in several area's of the fight game but he has not gotten to mix it up with the top of the line fighters yet, if and when that happens i do not believe it will end well for him in the W/L but it will be good if he dont step up too fast too soon. Bring it on but not on a PPV level just yet he would need a draw fighter to get the backing he needs for that to happen......
            Well other than Charlo who else is top of the line? He beat the **** out of Harrison, Ocampo and Mendoza. All he needs now is for Charlo to stop running and face him and then he'll be undisputed.

              Gausha tested him. Though I think he's improved drastically since, but that was a close one. I'd love Tsyzu-Spence and Crawford-Charlo, that would be my dream scenario at 154, but I'm not sure Spence takes it. He could probably get more to fight Thurman in a far more winnable fight.
              A couple of things about the Gausha fight. Tim was as sick as a dog on the day of the fight and for 2 weeks leading up to it, plus he tore tendons in both his hands in round 2. But he was hardly tested, he beat the **** out of Gausha if you care to watch the fight again. Interestingly Tszyu says Gausha was his toughest fight (including Mendoza) but that might be because of his previously mentioned illness and the torn tendons.

                Beck -- Ramos -- Fundora -- Oritz did he fight them yet not saying he would not become something special in time yet you have to fight often and take on lots of styles to develop into a fighter with the following you are offording him -- great you love the guy that is fine, he is solid but Charlo is not the greatest thing since Duran or many other fighters so dont look up look around. There are fighters who have not proved them selves and they have nights that are special too........maybe your guy fought some of those fighters i dont know ?

                  There's fights I'd like to see and then there's fights that are meaningful. Those opponents are the former, I'd enjoy watching the bouts but there's nothing in it for Tszyu to fight them. They hold no belts and they're not worthy scalps. Tszyu has (almost) become too good too fast, Charlo is the only fight he needs.

                    we will see who fights who and what turns out to be---- the fights this week were interesting to me there are about six of them that got my attention for one reason or another. Both cards were on ESPN Plus that i caught the SoSure fight was a joke of a fight may be a fight some enjoy but not me....... Nav got a draw it was interesting bout as were those three fights i watched from Canada. I would rather watch Vargus's son fight in a somewhat meaningless fight as oppossed to some fights that get attention. same with Caggett v Manduno it was interesting kept my attention Butler Alverez fine it was a fight i think you know now i could care less about what promo guys think i should watch i know the era we live in so i watch accoringly
