    Competition is always a good thing! Boxing just needs a governing body.
    Boxing fans don't fully realize how good this year has been. I see it continuing in 2018 for a number of reasons. We just need to find some opposition for Crawford at welter.

      My kneejerk thought was "Marathon of Mediocrity" but the Charlo-Lubin and Hurd-Trout fights should be pretty good.

        Yup. I'm not a fan of showcase fights but when you throw them in with good matchups, it's just a damn good night of boxing.

          If Crawford was free to tangle it might start feeling like the early 80s lol joking, but serious

            LOl, no it definitely would.

            Think about it:

            Thurman-Porter
            Thurman-Garcia
            Spence-Brook
            Spence-Peterson later this year.
            Thurman-Spence early 2018
            Porter vs. someone

            Thurman/Spence winner versus Porter

            Then throw in Crawford somewhere in there? Mama mia.

              Exactly. It's time for these young boys to earn their keep. They want million dollar purses. This is their chance to earn it.

              Jermall passed his test against J-Rock. Let's see his brother can do the same against another guy who legit. Hurd better hurt Trout or he might suffer a decision loss.

              I see the Charlo v. Hurd unification coming soon after (I think that's the ideal scenario for PBC). But Lubin could ruin that plan quick lol

                Yeah, that's definitely on deck. I think the goal is one champion in that division. And given how competitive it is, I'm all for that. Now we just need Lara to get onboard with sturdier opposition and for Andrade's management to come back to Earth a lil.

                  I see Kara being pushed out somehow. And I think we'll see Andrade brought into the PBC fold soon. He seems to be taking a softer tone on his situation.

                  I think he'll get that Charlo fight but it'll be under tough circumstances.

                    Yeah, I suspect Lara has his hands full with any of these young guns. He's been getting fat while they've been getting better. As far as Andrade, he really has no choice. What a strange career this guy has had. Whatever. The talent is there so I'm praying your right about the Charlo fight.
