Terence Crawford tweets that "Canelo vs Crawford" is the biggest fight in Boxing!!

[Roadblock]

Charlo is not coming back for Tzsyu doe, I guarantee you.

Depends on what the real issues are in his life, its definitely not focusing on boxing, if he gets hungry to fight I think he would come back for Tim, I don't see him being worried about Tim at all, probably as we speak there is chit chat between his people and TC, that's if he is in fight mode. I think a lot of gears are churning around the top guys atm and who fights who, what the public gets are rumours and half-stories for fans to argue about lol.

Contrary to how some media really wanted to make it seem that Canelo fighting Jermell "undisputed at 154" Charlo at 168 was such a big deal, no actual knowledgeable boxing fan that is not a fanboy of Canelo considered it a big fight of any sort, even if Jermell was 3 inches taller than Canelo. Seriously, why do some people think Crawford vs Canelo is actually going to be a good match, just because of the names involved even though they are in a totally unrelated division? Thinking of it from the other direction, would boxing fans actually think. Heck, that is like saying Naoya Inoue vs Jesse Rodriguez at 122 this year is a bigger fight than Inoue vs MJ at 122.

Bam is undefeated and has a better record than MJ.
Bam and MJ both is within an inch in height of each other and Inoue.
Bam is a two division champ as opposed to MJ who is currently beltless former one division champ.
Bam is no doubt the absolute top guy in 112 right now as opposed to MJ who is around top 3 to top 5 of his weight class.
Bam has made top 10 of P4P recently (and should still be on it instead of Tank), and still in the honorable mention level where MJ is no where near the top 10.

However none of that makes Bam a better opponent than MJ at 122 for Inoue,..WEIGHT classes matter, not height or accomplishments in a significantly different division. I'm a huge fan of Inoue and also like Bam a lot as well, but I certainly won't give Inoue any credit to his resume for defeating Bam at 122 later this summer instead of MJ after Bam last fought in 112 (three divisions below Inoue right now) even if insane people try to argue otherwise.

Hard pass on this one.

How is it bigger? Only hardcore fans know Benavidez. Crawford made a decent name for himself amongst casuals after he beat Spence.

Crawford remains a relative unknown. Crawford - Spence wasn't a crossover fight. Plus he's sat on the victory for seven months.

Crawford is just tweeting to get a payday. I prefer to see credible boxing matches, such at #1 v #2 in a division.

Did he really make a name for himself among casuals? Based on fighting once a year since 2020? Davids name has been associated with Canelo for a few years and hes been more active than Bud, and there is far more demand for the Benavidez fight, so that means its bigger.

This idea that Bud is some big main stream star is hilarious. He has already lost the momentum he had from the Spence fight. He is only a big name for hardcores.

Notice how it's nearly always Americans who support these "events". It's because they live in an economic culture whose sole focus is money. It's why their TV shows/films are endlessly franchised and have very little artistic value.

They have been conditioned to know the price of everything and value of nothing. Crawford - Canelo is a joke fight, but because it will allow Crawford to significantly increase his net worth, guys like Roadblock and Floyd is TBE support this.

From a sporting perspective, Canelo - Benavidez is obviously the best fight to make in the division. This is what fans of boxing, rather than money, should demand next.

I also didn't mind Leonard coming back to fight Hagler that had the same talk, Hagler will kill him, I like seeing a real top liner take on a near on impossible challenge, its the stuff people remember, I don't mind the fight but Id rather Benevidez, understanding how it works is neither supporting or shting on it, I just can see the reasons it might happen.

Hmm. That's interesting. Which franchise are you talking about doe, particularly TV shows?

Lost and The Walking Dead spring to mind. What start out as good ideas are dragged out with no cogent story arc.

Even The X Files got ruined to a degree.

As for movies. How many crappy Fast and Furious movies have there been?

[hugh grant]

Yes, I hear some say bud is no1 pfp, so he should prove it. Beating spence didn't do that. Beating nelo, or even doing really well will prove it

Zombie movies don't have to be franchised. I haven't seen any X-files franchised somewhere, or Lost. I was more into family shows like American Idol, Masterchef, Survivor, there's The Apprentice franchise in the UK, Survivor UK just had their 3rd season, I believe.
