Comments Thread For: Magdaleno-Juarez, Beterbiev-Koelling on October 31 on ESPN

[IMDAZED]

With Marquez and Bradley's retirements their pool has shrunk, but I'd still like to see guys like Joseph Parker, Gilberto Ramirez, and Felix Verdejo before Magdaleno. Granted those guys aren't on the level of Pacquiao, Lomachenko, and Crawford, you're right.

They're likely praying Stevenson develops and their prospects at 147 and 175 pan out.

Oh you'll see them. Too bad they don't have any good opponents for them.

And therein lies the problem. Not the names, but who they're facing is the question.

I hope they end this year with some great cards

They will. I mean, you've already heard rumors regarding some of the fights.

But you just nailed it -- not just good fights, but great cards. Over the past year, we've gotten a lot of that from PBC. No more one decent name in the main event and then a ****ty undercard. It's why I look at anyone who disses the PBC as either ****** or a non-boxing fan.

Jack-DeGale
Pedraza-Davis
Frampton-Santa Cruz
Garcia-Zlatcanin
Vasquez-Collazo
Warren-Zhakinayov
Broner-Granados
Harrison-Hurd
Breazeale-Uzi
Thurman-Garcia
Lubin-Cota
Berto-Porter
Redkach-Mendez
Benavidez-Medina
Brook-Spence
Easter-Shafikov
Broner-Garcia

I'm probably missing a few but this is in just seven months. When you have a deep roster, you can afford to make great fights. They laid the foundation, built up the names, and now we're benefiting from it. At some point, TR will have to swallow their pride and try to make some matchups. Or, continue to give us rematches and recycling because some grumpy old man is rich and could give two ****s about the fans.

We also know Monaghan was a manufactured record.

Yeah and who is responsible for that?

Brought it up in one of the Crawford/Indongo threads, said the card is appaling apart from the main event, considering the names that are on it. Couple of people kicked off, said I dont understand the art of promoting.

I don't take people like that serious. The ones who have excuses for anything TR/GBP does but could be found in every "PBC is going bankrupt" thread. They are the same ones who scream "sham promoter" presumably because they miss the days when the promoter did everyone's job and had their hand in everyone's pocket.

I would be satisfied with the following fights:
Parker-Jennings
Ramirez-Hart
Verdejo-Beltran

Only one of those interests me.

Bottom line, they don't have the horses. Poor Crawford.

Yeah and who is responsible for that?

he was a bum with no promoter and 20-0 before he ever signed with a major promoter. True or false? That record was already built son
