      - And Loma and Haney are borderline special. Loma is very good but I’ll like to see him dominate someone his size. Haney has been great lately, perhaps due to matchup but I watched some of his fights two years ago and I wasn’t that impressed.
      AJ is special but Loma is borderline. FFS man...

        Tank is special. Have you seen him in interviews? He seems a bit slow.

          Dude thinks hes clever but he DKSAB like his name says.
          I never trolled a day in my life, I wasn't even raised like that. & you delusional as hell if you think I pay attention to what you do on the site. I don't even know what thread you talking about if I'm lying god take my soul right now. I think sum of you dudes have a mental illness the way ya'll interact on the internet. You been on me since I replied back to you the other day & you conveniently went ghost from. 🤔 I'm here to talk real boxing perspectives, I don't troll. The people I get into with on here I try my hardest to make a mental note & never engage with them in any way shape or form. Including going in their threads. So moving forward just don't speak to me blatant or indirectly. Cause I already have intentions to not engage with you. If we was in front of each other it wouldn't be any consistent talk. So why continue to on the Internet? & that's the difference between real nigģas & the trolling type!

          Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


          Andrade is another shocker tbh bro. His best win is a SD over Vanes, hardly screams special talent...

          Shakur needs to at least beat a world class fighter before we christen him as a “special” talent but he has tremendous potential.

          The rest of the list I can get behind though.

          Missing out Fury and Canelo is laughable too.

          Do you follow the lower weight classes??? Roman Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada both deserve a mention at the very least.
          It seems sometimes ya'll see what you wanna see. Check the date on the OP. JoJo's performance was nothing that should be ever classified as outclassed. You think JoJo Diaz "outclassed" farmer. But see nothing wrong with you saying "SD over Vanes" make it makes cause it don't. JoJo had a clear win, outclass tho? No. I saw Farmer looking like something was mentally off with him as I said before on here & I believe that he's a better more capable fighter than what he showed that night. I may have underestimated his lack of power but that's a whole nother discussion. I'll bite the bullet for now.

          As for the SD:


          I honestly feel only certain type of ppl bring up this being a "SD" when talking about this fight. I actually watched this a few months ago & iirc outside of the KD "every round Vanes 'won' was debatable!" I saw 3 rounds for Vanes if you wanna be generous & give him those rounds. But I'd love for somebody to show me 6 rounds (cuz we gotta include the KD) that Vanes won. Why nobody talks about how the commentators Lampley, Kellerman, & RJJ was talking about how bad the scorecards were? I could go on about bad judging being brought up when it's convenient. But I'll stop there..


          You pretty much agree Loma, Bud, & Spence are special. Loma was telling Andrade how he was unstoppable back in their amateur days & since he ain't loss yet, looks to still be true + I don't favor anyone to beat him. If Lomachenko had a difficult fight with Campbell? What does Andrade do if his ability is put in a 135lber? Bud & his team know how avoided Andrade is. Bud said Andrade was one of the greatest talents he ever seen! Spence just went through a tough fight with Porter. Some say it was "life & death." That same Porter said he feels Andrade is P4P#1. Spence said he would go to 160 for Canelo. He said the fight with him & Andrade would be a good fight but he doesn't "feel like" moving up all of a sudden... If Bud & Spence is "50-50" in the publics eyes than what does Andrade do against a guy who feels he's one if the greatest talents he's seen & another guy who don't really wanna fight him? All the professionals know wassup man. But the fans can see a different story. I have a thread in the works about Andrade & the guy you think is "special" with professionals speaking on it, not fans I hope to see you in there.

          I've seen almost everything I need to see from Shakur. He's special. I have no doubts & I'm open to criticism if he's not an ATG when it's all said & done.

          Fury is a good fighter, Canelo is a great fighter. Special to me they are not from what I seen. Do you want me to go into detail as to why they aren't as well IMO?


          I don't follow lower weights like that.

                I don't follow lower weights like that.
                Diaz dominated that fight. Fair play for admitting you got it wrong, I thought this was a new thread which is why I was so taken aback by Farmer. I always knew that guy didn’t have the goods, only looked good against C level fighters.

                Andrade is pretty similar IMO. I only had him edging Vanes and Culcay and neither men are world beaters. People try and make out he’s some defensive wizard but he’s just athletic with solid reflexes. He’s nothing special IMO, I like Andrade though, met the guy in Vegas, he was cool so I don’t mind if I’m wrong...

                I rate Shakur highly too, I did a thread not too long ago saying if I had to pick a guy to be the man over the next decade I’d go with him. We just don’t have the evidence to back up those claims yet though.

                As I said dude, the rest of the list is fine by me. Fury and Canelo are definitely special talents though, what other 6 ft 9 man can move like that, what other 5 ft 8 fighter is knocking out light heavyweight’s?

                Roman Gonzalez is really one to go back and watch man, if you enjoy elite fighting, you’ll enjoy watching him. 👍🏻

                  Again bad judging. At least you acknowledge his defensive ability at all. Some pretend it doesn't exist. He's at the top of a lot of defensive statistics which I don't think a lot of people know. & ppl will say it was against "nobodies." But don't a lot of people in boxing fight "nobodies?" I don't see their name on them lists..


                  You pretty much ignored & disregarded everything I said about Andrade lol.


                  Boxing is largely about how you are moved. Fury & his competition are vastly overrated. I understand the business. I said before Canelo Kov. I'm not giving credit to whoever wins. It's meaningless & designed to make Canelo look good. So why would I be impressed over something meant to impress casuals?

                    • Shakur Stevenson (yep already)
                    • Tank (I wasn't sold on him at 1st & I'm still not 100% but I'm leaning towards he very well might be.)
                    • Errol Spence Jr.
                    • Terence Crawford
                    • Deontay Wilder (I don't think he's nice but his power might really be all he needs)



                    Honorable Mention:
                    • Haney (I think he's the goods but I need to see him in the trenches)
                    • Usyk (not sold on what he'll do vs better competition)
                    • Teofimo Lopez (Gonna say about 25% out of 100. I feel like he'd beat Haney but I feel Haney will fair better as he moves up in weight)
                    Good list but how do you have Wilder and not Fury???

                    Andrade? Like ppl said SD with Vanes and Culcay aint special.

                    Farmer? Hell NO!

                    Tank? Man seeing a gimp go 12 rounds ain't special.

                    The rest solid.

                    Put Fury in for Wilder
                    Put Canelo in for Andrade


                    How you gonna leave Roman Gonzalez of this list?? Rig?

                    Add Josh Taylor or Mikey Garcia
