I favour Beterbiev, but I think you've hit on something when you said "survive." If Bivol wins, he does it by managing to survive.

One of these fighters is going in with the mentality of wiping the other out. One is going in trying to see the final bell and get a decision....

Whether Haney beats Garcia or not, he will not be the best fighter in the world, nor second, nor third, nor fourth.

He looked good against Prograis, OK against Loma (though arguably lost), but has otherwise been a boring fighter. For the record, let us remind ourselves: Haney hasn't knocked...

Both special fighters. Despite his age, I favour Beterbiev.

Let'e see if he can fight anyone in the current top 10 first before talking about Tim Witherspoon levels, let alone Foreman or Ali.

All we know so far is that he was a little better than a late-career Charles Martin.

He's proved and continues to prove he is the best and he doesn't need to fight in America to prove that.

Going to America would be about chasing fame. I'm not sure he's that interested in that.

Yes, but is it not more likely that this is misdirection?

Canelo points out he has earned the right to fight who he wants. He pickd Munguia. Bivol was up for it at SMW. I'm sure Beterbiev would have been happy to discuss terms. Canelo chose Munguia. When asked about Benavidez, he floats...

He's right about one thing: Usyk is not going to step aside unless he gets mullered in the first fight.

Wlad: "You must throw punch."

[Monty Fisto]

Yeah, the Martin fight suggested the ceiling for Anderson may not be much higher, which is remarkable considering how little his career has progressed. He needs to fight someone decent soon. Wilder is a name, but he's a name at the end of his career. I guess they figure that is low risk, but it could...

Good on him. When he was in his prime, he really was avoided. Got stiffed by at least one bad decision in his triology with Canelo. I look forward to his eventual admittance to the HOF.

Ability vs ability, Lomachenko has Kambosos completely outmatched, so the 'styles makes fights' argument carries little water in terms of boxing approach. Kambosos' chances of winning by stoppage rely solely on Lomachenko's advanced age and how he stand up physically as a consequence -- I rate the...

Doesn't look in shape. There were already many red flags and this would appear to confirm them.

Less boogeyman, more heel. Inoue will stop him.
