Comments Thread For: Badou Jack Recounts Sparring With Eleider Alvarez in Olympics

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Early last month, Eleider Alvarez (24-0) pulled off a big upset when he stopped Sergey Kovalev (32-3-1) in 7 rounds in Atlantic City in a HBO televised main event. With the victory Alvarez became the WBO light heavyweight champion. Alvarez, who was a big underdog and not pegged to win with a stoppage, dropped Kovalev three times before the contest was waved off by the referee.

I respect Jack for being basically the only Al Haymon fighter of this last generation not to cherry pick his entire career, so I didn't want to say this, but Badou, please stop ducking Bivol already. The respect you get for not cherry picking can't keep going on if you suddenly start cherry picking. Look, even if Bivol was Mike Tyson or prime GGG, that's still no excuse to duck him, but the point is, he ain't prime GGG or Mike Tyson! He ain't even as dangerous as prime Kovalev. He's good but extremely extremely extremely undersized for 175, and he can be predictable or one note. Also his stamina wasn't the best vs Chilemba.

So, to duck Bivol would be an even worse look than ducking the true boogeymen of boxing. Fans want to see this fight Jack! Fans are way more interested in Bivol-Jack than a Stevenson rematch.

In my opinion Jack and Adonis are weakest out of top contenders at LHW. Either Bivol, alvarez or Beterbiev will rule the division but I have my money on beterbiev and Kovalev is finished.

Jack isn't with Haymon. He is managed by Floyd's cousin Dejuan Blake

Jack had the belt, dropped it instead of fighting Bivol. Now Bivol has the belt, and Jack is the mandatory, so it should happen again, just with the roles reversed. When the roles were one way, jack didnt make the fight. Now the roles are another way, so if he doesnt make the fight no matter which order the roles are in, that tells you it's not the order of the roles that is to blame for the fight not happening, it is Jack or Jack's team that is to blame.

And I never said Bivol was a boogeyman. What he is is the only champion at 175 who does not already have an opponent scheduled for this fall. Does Jack want to fight for the championship or not? If so, Bivol is his only option this fall.

It's about the best fighting the best to see who the top guy is in the division. Jack moved to 175 and kept calling out aging Stevenson, but how come I never hear him call out Beterbiev or Bivol, the two guys who are probably the best in the division at this point unless that man is Jack?

Bivol needs a good opponent. Jack needs a good opponent. What's the problem? The fact you reacted so defensively to the idea of Bivol vs Jack, with the "no one cares about Bivol" bull**** response, makes it seem like you don't want to see Jack and Bivol fight. Why not? You don't think Jack is good enough? Because if he has any skills at all, he is way bigger than Bivol, so it should be a 50/50 fight at LEAST for Jack.

Sparring is sparring so it doesn't mean any thing.

Sounds like maybe Jack "lost" the sparring hence his reservation or he's trying to some new angle with instead of hyping he "beat him" in sparring he's being mysterious with what happened in this sparring to get more questions about it & perhaps get some lil buildup of cats who wanna see this fight.

Whatever this non-story is about I got massive respect for Jack for fighting the top cats in 2 divisions quicker than many of these mfers are fighting the top cats in 1 division. I hope this Jack vs Alvarez fight can be made now that HBO seems to have cut Alvarez (& Kovalev) loose.

Or Alvarez is cut loose it sounds like anyway. I suppose HBO has options on Kov still & if he were to beat Alvarez in their rematch (I wouldn't bet on it) then HBO will segue back into his career after that.

When Jack took Degale’s soul he accidentally took the part of his soul that vacates world titles
