Young Bidness/Uncle Alvarez got put on blast.
Erislandy Lara was a high risk, low reward opponent that could give a tough fight to anyone. That's why Canelo deserves respect for fighting him.Comment

Lara would be tough for Mayweather but I still think he would lose. Mayweather’s adjustments would outlast Lara’s advantages. Lara has a tendency to fight in a rut.
I give Crawford the best shot to get a decision over Mayweather. Crawford’s ability to process a fight is the closest to Mayweather I’ve seen.Comment

I didn’t give anyone props, dummy. And I find it reassuring that you don’t like me. If an always wrong, half-brained, glue sniffer like you were a fan then I’d know I was doing something wrong.Comment

Not that anyone here has yet mentioned it, but Mosley vs Trinidad appeared to "almost" happen; as "almost" as a fight predicated on one man having to win his current fight to get the next fight can possibly be. During ringwalks for Mosley vs Wright 1 HBO mention the following (at 1:16:12 of embedded video at bottom, hopefully): "Winky Wright has said he's bet upwards of $25,000 on himself at 3 to 1 in this fight but nobody, maybe nobody ever in boxing, has made a bigger bet on himself (meaning Mosley) he turned down about 12 million dollars to fight a third fight against Oscar De La Hoya because he feels after beating De La Hoya twice he should get at least an equal split. Mosley is getting three million dollars tonight, so he's got a nine million dollar bet, but if he wins he'll get that big fight against Felix Trinidad." Larry Merchant
"Indeed it's because of the way De La Hoya sees his economic position in the division that Mosley may have the opportunity to fight Felix Trinidad if he can get past this one because, Trinidad, like Mosley, didn't like the price for another De La Hoya fight." Jim Lampley
A few mins after this conversation occurs HBO broach the topic of Mosley's recently having been brought up in the then just beginning BALCO situation, and they humorously show a pic of Shane's body from the ODLH rematch side by side with a current pic and say that there is little difference, maybe Shane is a bit smaller, according to Merchant, lol
Trinidad is ringside for the fight with his dad and Don King and is shown numerous times looking bemused, to say the least.

This Guy is a Real sport Oficinado....He Understand the things alot of Commentors overlook....
Props for Giving Crawford his Props...
Some of these casual Boxing fans over look Crawford's Resume'....as though he just started..
He just moved up in Weight after UNIFYING the Jr Welterweight Division....and stopped everyone he faced since moving up....
Hopefully the Crawford vs Spence or Crawford vs Pacquaio is made soon.... Preferably Crawford vs Spence.....
The way Freddie Roach has been talking... Crawford vs Pacquaio may not happen...Comment

Crawford a HOFer? This Bread guy is a joke.
He then goes on about Plant being tough for Canelo? In the history of boxing and championship fights, when the hell has a whiteboy ever beaten a Mexican? Even a whiteboy that thinks he's black. This would look like Chavez/Haugen all over again.
Undefeated after being Champion in Lightweight.... Undisputed in Jr Welterweight and a Champion after moving up in Weight and Still Undefeated....
The Man said it Right.....If he stopped fighting Today he's a HOF'er..Comment

So you do like me? That mean you’re going to give me that thousand dollars since Fury destroyed Wilder in the exact fashion I said he would? Does it ever get tiresome being wrong all the time? Because I can tell you from experience that it doesn’t get old being right all the time.Comment
