When I read the question about stamina and chin, I immediately thought of Shannon Briggs. His chin was pretty decent but asthma affected his stamina in many fights.

I hear some fighters saying they don't mind fighting in empty arenas. Imagine if Hulk Hogan was still......entertaining. He would never win a match.

Stephen Edwards is my Sensei for all Saturday's.

I like the explanation how the stamina and chin are separate things, but at the same time work with each other. This alone, explain some of the TKO/KO we saw in the boxing world.

Leave it to BIGPOPPAPUMP to act like a wannabe black panther.

Plenty of boxers WHOOP on black boxers. That doesnt mean black boxers are bad or others are better. It just means those individuals lost.

You are a joke to try and make everything about race. Same as Trump just different perspective. Punk

Lots of losers in that community, always trying to push that propaganda culture narrative in boxing. Bunch of uneducated useless fools that don’t have a fighter worth a damn today. Overrated fighters.

False PBC narrative

"I just don't see how the fight gets big enough to pay two networks" is a false narrative that's repeated over and over. Fact, Errol Spence does NOT have a contract or commitment with any network. Errol Spence can fight anyone on any network at anytime.

Behind closed doors Errol Spence may think he can beat Crawford but his manager simply is not willing to take the chance. Beating Crawford may be career defining but a loss would cripple the PBC's hold on the WW division for years. In the end, Al Haymon has Spence convinced that the money is in fighting lower risk WW's and moving up. Although remote, Spence might, in the future, possibly, if Haymon sees a clear advantage, allow Spence to call out Crawford when he's older at 154, 160lbs.

Will it work? It didn't work out well for Wilder but it certainly did and does work out for the PBC and Al Haymon. Sorry folks but Premier Boxing Champions isn't at all about Champions it's about the PBC and it's money.

There you have it, now you know.

Man you think you're in the know but in actuality you're so naive.

While it is true that Spence did not sign a contract with any particular network, it is however true that he signed a contract with PBC, and PBC has a contract with Showtime/Fox and various networks.

Get it.

PBC has a contract that says that their fighters will fight on those networks, seeing as Spence is one of those fighters, then he falls under that category of PBC fighters who have to fight on those networks.

This is very simple to understand, the only reason you don't understand it is because you don't want to understand because it directly debunks your biased narrative.
