I like the Breadman stuff because it comes from a different perspective. In principle, I love what he said about differentiating fact vs prediction, but the dude wrote "I think" Canelo KO's him with a body shot. Bread gets too defensive and often misinterprets what folks are saying and dogs them as a result. It isn't a good look.

That was me!!! I got my email as proof . Yo I did say I think! But let him get mad because I respect his opinion. That’s what makes the mailbag fun . I’m just happy my email got through. I love boxing

I agree. Breadman brings lots of insights and a distinctive take on boxing. But he also has a deep emotional investment in the sport (you can clearly see that when he is in trainer mode), which he lets fly in his writing and his attachment to certain boxers. Nothing wrong with that, it's an admirable quality, except when your arguments are negative impacted by your emotions, of course.

The below was so accurate, it needs to be read a second time. Lame ass hypocritical fanbase.



I sense anxiety coming from you because if Crawford beats Canelo, it would hurt Canelo’s legacy for the same reason you think Canelo wins. That’s the real issue. I’ve never seen a fan base so offended because someone wants to fight their guy.
When Jermell Charlo and Amir Khan wanted Canelo, I don’t remember you guys getting this upset. But because Terence Crawford wants to fight him, you guys are in attack mode. I find that interesting and it says something about the character of Canelo’s fan base.

No anxiety just a waste of time. It’s the Crawford fans that are desperate because they can only validate his greatness by fighting Canelo. They can’t validate who he really is based on his wins . They need Canelo like Rice needs beans. He can go fight Boots . Now that would be a good fight. Now say Crawford beats Canelo??? He’s gonna have the bigger weight guys coming after him . Hypothetically can he defeat the big boys at the consistency that Canelo does? I think he’s reached his weight limit and needs to fight the top contenders around his weight. Because he’s not a #1 contender at 168. He doesn’t deserve the fight. Man people hate Ginger so bad they really want anyone to come up and rise to defeat him . Instead let’s appreciate each fighter separately and what they do around the weight they are at . Not look for dream matches when the matches that need to be made are there . They just don’t fight enough to build up their brand in terms of popularity.
