Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Crawford-Madrimov, what now for Canelo-Crawford, Riyadh Season reflections and the greatness of Bernard Hopkins

"If Crawford fights Fundora, Ortiz and Tim Tszyu. Do not be surprised if he loses. Sometimes the totality of taking on prime elite opponents can take its toll"

those 3 are prime elite opponents hhhmmmm

They are young guns at 154 and going through that gauntlet of youth and power would be tough for anyone.

Funny when I saw Bakole I was thinking about Foreman. There are some similarities the way he throws his punches

I do think that Madrimov win will age well, unless his promoter is a moron. Which could well be the case.

I think were all thinking the same thing. Anyone who has watched Big George throw punches would have see similarities with Martin Bakole. Although I think Foreman was in better shape. Bakole showed up for the biggest fight in his career with a gut. Not a great sign for an aspiring heavyweight.

I appreciate the nod to The Alien Bhop!! I personally rate him as one of the greatest if not The Greatest especially for his run 175 and it’s one of the great feats of boxing.
As for the p4p comment, with the win I have Crawford #2 p4p passing Naoya because bud just won a title in a new division. Usyk is #1 for defeating the behemoth that fury is.

The ppl that thought Bud would just run through this madrimov prove their ignorance and dksab and or weight classes and nobody would take them serious

Another great read. Too bad Dougie over at ring ****zine stopped the mailbag. This is by far the superior product, however I still miss reading the fans thoughts and observations about the fights.

The Ring website was great for years, but they practically chased their audience away. First they tried to become a pay site, then they kept changing their comment platform, then Doug stopped doing mailbags. It's a wasteland now.
