    Bundu was Top 10 fella.

      Brooks needs to fight him. It won't surprise me if he KO's Brooks

      The funny thing in boxing. You have guys like Vargas winning titles before Spence because he fought Sadam Ali for the vacant WBO title.

          If the sport is to grow, we should actually hype fighters more. If someone loses or gets "exposed", so be it.

          But J-Rock had zero hype besides from a literal handful of boxing nerds on twitter or NSB. In the real world, nobody has ever heard of J-Rock.

            Thats exactly what I mean. But someone who can not be objective is simply a fighter fan.

                Spence is also really young,still on his way fighting to the top..I expect big things this yr tbh..At least one big step up..

                    It's hard to make fights happen when fighters are over-hyped. Charlo, for instance, took a lot of convincing to take the J-Rock fight. He thought he was worth millions of dollars. But since Wiliiams wasn't singing the same tune, it would be embarrassing for Jermall to drag the fight to something like what Jacobs is doing in the Gennady fight. So...

I think we as boxing fans get a little to damn excited after fights. Sure at 26 this is a fight he had to win and a i applaud him for it and will say he is on the right path. But is he fights Canelo next i see it being a brutal night for him. There are levels in this sport and Canelo is an Elite well crafted fighter and Charlo seems to be a couple levels below. I wish the young man much success but lets stop hyping these damn kids up so fast and let them grow as fighters
                      Yup. Let's stop hyping up guys like Spence and Crawford(2 guys that I actually like) also.
