'Can you please explain how Conor Benn is the number one contender for the WBC belt at welterweight when he hasn’t fought at the weight since 2022? Is this a case of an elite fighter moving to a weight class and the sanctioning body acknowledges it by ranking him number one? Or is it just a straight corrupt move by the WBC?'

conor benn an elite fighter LOL u got me laughing there, hes only beat a drained nowhere near elite not even world level eubank & the rest of his lower wins are probably egg boasted anyway, as for the wbc, they just do whatever they want

I like Stephen Fulton to win by decision. I think Fulton thinks a little too quick for Foster. I believe Fulton is too good at scoring points, and he’s a little too agile for Foster.


I agree.

Bread knows what's up.

There's not a elite Black American fighter that isn't one of the most hated people in the sport.

Every Black person on the P4P list (male & female) is one of the most hated people in the sport.

'Ennis is a serial killer'

if he was a serial killer he would have went straight for bud crawfords throat to take his mantle and he had lots of time to do it if he wanted to, he turned down a teo fight for big bucks & an ortiz fight both wanted by turki man himself, thats not serial killer stuff, thats something else, i would say stalker but whos he stalking? we finally got some action from him when he faced off with ortiz so lets see what happens

This is a case of the WBC's conflict of interest with a percentage based fee system. They rather have 3% of Benns purse than 3% of some random lesser known guy not british not with the Benn last name.


$$$$$


As crawford pointed out Sulaiman and his entourage all fly out for every fight, stay in luxury suites, eat at the finest restaurants ect and its all paid for as business expenses by the fighters.

Takes some real reality bending to say that Haney doesn't hold that much. I could never stand John Ruiz either. The problem with guys who think about race all the time is that they lie to themselves to fit reality into their own viewpoints.

The only thing I see people saying about Boots is that he hasn't fought anyone, he is nearing 30 and he takes alot of shots. Which could translate into him getting stopped by a power puncher. That isn't because he is black, that is because that is reality. I am hoping we see a stoppage and we get a legit superstar out of it. Ortiz is for real and has a far better resume than Boots. Boots has legit talent.

I think the basic underlying argument will never be over. Because I am not a black dude and I don't know how it feels to be a black dude. Apparently everything is about race for alot of black dudes. And there were years and years of idiotic racists who hated black dudes. I don't hate black dudes or hispanic dude or asian dude or any dudes. I don't hate Haney. I critique him on his fighting style. Just like I critique Teo, Cruz, Jai, etc.

It is obviously just a different view of the world. So whatever. Crawford stands as the best P4P in the world to me and has for years. Not because he is a black dude. Because he is an incredible fighter.

I have always believed that he is a little bias toward some boxers, he is a helluva of a boxer critic, very knowledgeable, but he does come out in some cases bias.
