This guy deserves much respect due to early on when Mayweather Promotions 1st started I can recall him fighting in Detroit among many good prospects and future contenders and a couple champions and he’s still here! At 41 not sure what’s left but he gets mad respect and credit for the determination and desire alone.

He was champion in recess due to injury, I guess. Now that he is ready to return they are making him fight the long standing #1 contender since Mikhailan is having Don King problems.

That’s a long fughin wait

I’m just glad to see my countryman get his shot finally. Mikhailan jerked him around for the past year and a half. He’s earned a shot.

Rozicki ???
I think k he’ll have a hard time beating Badou
Very crafty fighter
Not sure what he has left but …….

IMHO this is a bad fight for jack. Rozicki is from my hometown so I am biased, but this is the only path to a belt for him. Not saying he will win for sure, but jack is old af and might not have the movement to escape this plodded....he sure af cant slug with him and trading punches with a guy who is a hard hitting real cruiser that you cant run from might be a task. I wouldn't be shocked if jack does it, but it's not a huge mismatch from what I can see.

That being said, opetaia is the king and this is just some paper.

Yeah but Jack is coming off a long layoff, is 41 years old, and has always been a very slow starter. I'm a Jack fan but these are red flags.

I thought Jack had retired and never bothered to notify anyone..still remember his fights with DeGale and Stevenson. Feels like ages ago.
