    I respect your opinion, bro, but to each his own.
    Tank and Devin did not face the Gamboa that Crawford faced. I know you know that! Lol! Campbell is a good step up for Kingry. Why you hatin' on that man? Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving!

      I'm just frustrated with boxing in general to be honest, sorry. I wanna see some very good fights. Boxing isn't great these days. All the best fighters seem inept. Canelo is trying tho. Callum is legit. Maybe Ryan too in his own way.

      Cheers man. Happy holidays.

        Boxing is not built for fights without fans! Unlike other sports, fighters don't have unions, and they don't have revenue sharing from TV contracts! Hopefully we get a vaccine in early 2021, and things return to form next Spring! Prayers Up!

          The pandemic, and the lack of live gate revenue due to it,has very little to do with top fighters not stepping in the ring against other top fighters. It's been going on far before that. Unlike fighters of the past,you have fighters content on being fed cans for decent paydays rather than proving themselves top dogs. Just look at the words coming out of Spence's and Crawfords mouths concerning their potential showdown. Both seem that they couldn't care less if it ever happens unless were talking astronomical purses which in turn means ridiculous ppv prices for us. It seems that's the attitude of most fighters today so I wouldn't hold my breathe...and I'm usually a half full kinda guy but the state our sport has taken is depressing to say the least.

            Garcia needs to win this, he's only 22 and he's about to have a second kid with a different woman than the mother of his first child. He's about to be the Dwight Howard of boxing with all the payment checks he'll be sending.

              Oh yeah, he's definitely locked in financially for at least the next 18 years. Those women struck gold and found their cash cow. Cha-ching

                Joe Louis and Mike Tyson both had "bum of the month clubs." JCC Sr. had 118 fights! You know they weren't all killers! The difference today, is that fighters only fight rwice a year, once they get to a certain level! Good for the fighters skull sets, not as good for their skill sets! Haymon has to produce for FOX/SHO, Arum has to produce for ESPN, Hearn and ODLH have to produce for DAZN. I've learned to accept this, even though I'm not happy with it. I'm just happy that fighters are making money, and less punch drunk!
