I think GRJ vs. Tank @ 130 is a win-win fight for both fighters! The main reason is because it's financially rewarding for GRJ! He can't find a better fight @ 130 or below! Tank needs to put his skills against a fighter with fast hands before he attempts to challenge Loma. Tevin Farmer would be a good fight, but GRJ would be a bigger fight, especially in the DMV! GRJ vs. Tank Davis! Make it happen! C'mon Floyd, c'mon Ellerbe! This is a no-brainer!

Love the Breadman's mailbag. I may not agree or like everything he says but I definitely respect it. It's rare that you get a person who has the intimate knowledge of a fighter's corner answering the fan community's questions and doing it in such an insightful and educated manner. Have to give props to some excellent questions too. Discourse on fighters' stamina and hard hitter's with low KO % some good reading.

LOMO just gave up 130 belt so forget about TANK. MIKEY vs LOMO at 135 is a better fight.

The way Badou Jack is getting overrated is just ridiculous. Go back and watch Jack vs Rogelio Medina. Not only does Jack look completely unrecognizable before he got with Memo, but the Showtime commentors even said outloud what was clear, "Rogelio Medina is outboxing Badou Jack." Jack eventually stopped him but it took like 50 clean shots, showing that not only is Jack not a great boxer (less skilled than Rogelio Medina), but he's not a puncher either.

Why, you ask, does Jack keep getting draws vs completely faded, much smaller Bute, completely faded much smaller James Degale, and completely faded Adonis Stevenson? Because that's how good he is. His best, his prime, is comparable to the level that completely faded, former B+ or A- fighters, like Stevenson (A-), Bute (A-/B+), and James Degale (B+) are at once they are way past their best.

Just wait. If Jack ever fights an actual prime top guy, just remember this comment, and don't put your money on him, because he is going to lose every round and then get knocked out. Sullivan Barrera would probably beat Badou Jack.

I agree. These are my top 2 fights too. The Breadman must have missed the WBSS Cruiser tourney. Lol. Usyk-Breidis is in my top 5 too.

Badou Jack has a great resume and fought one top guy after another. And win, lose, or draw he hasn't been out of his league with any of them.

That deserves respect.

So true... because it was in Russia it flew under the radar. Great fight.
