I would walk away if I was Usyk. Other than banking more massive paychecks, there is nothing left to do in the sport. I feel like he's right where Lomachenko was right before retirement. Loma left on a win which was nice, yet there were so many callouts that could still happen. All the "next"...

I can't see a Crawford stoppage and if he managed one, it's from landing a punch with absolute force behind it that Canelo doesn't see landing and catches him. There is a higher probability that Crawford will be stopped if he can't take the power. Canelo knows Crawford's status, especially in P4P rankings,...

The name didn't ring a bell when I heard it but MSN used this as a huge clickbait article where they showed Mike Tyson's image and had a caption to the effect, fans mourn Mike Tyson. I was like, wtf?! Did he die?! I click the article and it starts talking all about this guy and I'm like, maaaaan, what...

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Dalton came away with an upset UD against Matias at this point. I believe Matias is unfortunately on his downward slide. His career was never meant to last long the way he fights and it's becoming more apparent as he's aging. Dalton could probably UD Matias at this...

I remember seeing Cotto's face swollen as never seen before when he took the knee vs Margarito and thought, damn, nobody bust Cotto's face up like that. Then Cotto faced Pacquiao and although Cotto was busted badly, his face did not swell in the same manner. Then the Margarito results come out vs Mosley...

I've been praying for this before the Garcia fight. When Garcia beat him, I was super hyped that it was the end of Haney and we could be done talking about him. After the Garica win/Haney loss got reversed, I'm more pissed than ever with Garcia for being a cheat bum who ruined that moment, and that...

Honestly, they should go the ProBox route. More free fights to the masses and they get that post live broadcast revenue with the continued viewership of the fights long after they've aired. I'm not saying they'll be wildly viewed in the millions for every card, but if you get some massive names on the...

Perhaps AJ being spanked by Dubois could be a paycheck blessing in disguise. Facing JP will be a massive paycheck and could turn into the easiest fight of his career. Well, I'm not sure he's going to have anything easier than Francis, but it'll be similar.

I mean... look at the country he hails from, lol. This is what happens when someone claims supreme power over everything that is within their borders. Turki is the entertainment handler with a lot of money, but his direct report is the prince. He's not going to go off and pretend he's creating some...

This was a sad day watching Live. All the hype had me going nuts. Folks calling it the superbowl of boxing. It delivered completely in the first few rds until Margacheato started to take over.

Now fast forward after everything came to light and you start questioning all over Margarito's...

[ELPacman]

That's not true. In fact, if we were to add some points to Floyd's resume to get closer to the level of Pac's and consider them equal, then we can look at the outside argument of whose accomplished more in life. Mayweather couldn't hold Pac's jock strap. The dude can't even tell the products he's supposed...

From the Wiki, "Retirement is the withdrawal from one's position or occupation or from one's active working life.^["

Though I like Webster's variation better,

"Webster's defines "retire" as: to withdraw from action or danger: retreat;"

Xander has no special attributes thus far. Carefully crafted career. I can't see him beating the major players.

In recent talk, the question has been if Usyk is the GOAT. I think it was John Nelson from the UK in an interview who said, the GOAT shouldn't just be considered what they did inside the ring, but what they did outside. This was why he rated Ali ahead of Usyk because of everything Ali did outside the...

Rumor has it... actually Pacquaio confirmed with plenty of interviews, he never trained for Anpo because well, he didn't think it was going to be a tough fight. Obviously Anpo being young and facing Pac, trained his ass off. I'm not saying we should put much into the match because it was meaningless,...

[ELPacman]

Bro, Floyd "retiring" sounds like it went over your head if you're giving him props for it. He literally put a pause on his career by saying he retired so guys in his division can beat themselves up. Then wait and see the outcomes to pick and choose the best route. It was fake retirement just...

[ELPacman]

Thanks for acknowledging everything I said, but without actually disagreeing with it. Again, you created a thread to stir the pot and this is what you amount to....

[ELPacman]

This is actually a pretty high point. It goes to show what a weak era the division is in. I know Barrios is the worst of the bunch, but still being a champion. A champion of the NEXT gen. Remember when Pac fought Broner and Thurman? That was already a generation outside of his own. He's moved on to...

[ELPacman]

I'm not saying he could beat Mayweather. I don't think the layoff mattered for Mayweather. He was still training, still young and just keeping an eye on how the welterweights beat each other up to come back and pick them off. Just because he was 2 years laid off and it kept him fresh, doesn't mean bringing...
