I had tickets for that tito vs Hopkins fight. Because of 9/11 it got pushed back 2 weeks. What bread didn't mention was that Hopkins got to drive home from NY to Philly. Tito had to stay in NY for the entire time.

Damn! That’s a VERY good point??? That suks. What did they do refund your tickets or kept everything the same?

everything was the same. Same tickets were used 2 weeks later.

As always, great mail bag Bread!!! You open a true boxing aficionados eyes a bit wider with every mail bag. And cong**** to J Rock on the come back I predicted post Charlo.

Breadman left Texas off the list of places that produce great fighters .

Hasn't he heard of Errol Spence, the Charlo brothers, and the Figueroa brothers? Mario Barrios?

And that's just the current crop. If he wants to get historical then there's Jack Johnson, Donald Curry, Terry Norris, Orlando Canizales, Jesse James Leija etc.

Come on. Get it together, baby.

i love these mailbags and wait for them every week. i could listen to stephen talk about boxing for days!

please keep them coming!

That's exactly what I thought.

I hold breadman to a very high standard.

I almost always agree with his picks and breakdowns.

But here I just spit out my coffee, his McCall and Rahman arguments are meh, because Lewis beat them in rematches and probably 9 times out of 10.



I just hate how people underrated Lewis, especially in the US.

He beat Bowe in olympic finals, Holyfield, Vitali K and Tyson.

Then McCall, Tuaman, TNT Tucker, Mercer....

I also hate how people act like those barely 6 ft HW would "OBVIOUSLY" beat modern HW giants...

Liston is from that generation of old school face first slow 6 ft HW that would struggle to compete with a guy like Lewis, let alone beat him.

Sure Liston has the one punch KO chance, but so does every fighter.

Liston was a bad mofo, but so does Lewis, but a giant one...

Despite being smaller, Liston is less mobiles than Lewis, not faster by any means, bad fight for Sonny...

Agree with everything you wrote there. Since when has Breadman used reasoning such as Sonny wins because they're built abit similar? Very strange.
