It's a fascinating matchup. Bivol is one of the best at neutralizing his opponent's offence and fighting at his pace. But nobody has been able to neutralize Beterbiev who's physicality is second to none. Two of the very best fighting to be undisputed. Doesn't get any better. π₯.

Canelo dared to be great. He's a throwback kind of fighter. Hopefully more fighters take those kinds of risks going forward. It's a great thing for the sport of Boxing.

Usyk is imo the greatest fighter of the post-Floyd and Manny era. Whether another current fighter eventually passes him remains to be seen. But as of this moment Usyk is the man. Generational talent. All time great. First ballot hall of famer. Legend. He's all of that and some.

Back in the day George Foreman was considered a big Heavyweight. Foreman in his prime was 6'3" and 220-230 pounds. Usyk as a Heavyweight is 6'3" and 220 pounds. Usyk is literally as big as a prime Foreman was, which is kind of crazy to think about.

I'm old enough to remember when everybody loved Golovkin. Somewhere along the lines that narrative switched up. Never understood why. He's one of the best fighters of this generation and always a pleasure to watch fight.

I still consider Fury one of the very best Heavyweights of all time. When I say that I mean Top 40 ish. But in the grand scheme of 130+ years of the gloved era, top 40 ish is damn impressive. He's an elite Heavyweight who lost to a generational fighter.

We should have known Benn was on the juice. He went from a shit fighter who went life and death with Cedric Peynaud to being this destroyer in a flash. Now it all makes sense.

Tyson Fury being the best Heavyweight of this generation is further proof of how much this generation sucks.

Criticizing Canelo for fighting Bivol makes no sense to me. Bivol checks off all the boxes as an undefeated world champion, in his prime, at the top of his division. A division that Canelo is looking to unify in. It's a great fight.
Jake Paul doesnβt care for Kamaru Usmanβs manager but agrees with his assessment that Canelo is ducking a lot of people by taking on fighters βrelatively unheard ofβ #CaneloBivol #TaylorSerrano

He's 100% correct. UFC fighters deserve better pay. How bad of a look is it that a former UFC champion has to fight a YouTube guy in boxing at 39 years old to get a career high payday.

There's very few fighters in the history of the sport who can generate the kind of natural power that Bakole can generate. He doesn't even need full leverage or extension on his punches to put people to sleep. It's reminiscent of the kind of death touch power we saw from Foreman.

Bivol being called a cherry pick gone wrong is a moronic take. He was at worst the 2nd best Light Heavyweight in the world going into the fight. People will say anything on this app to sound edgy.

Shit fighters don't KO Luis Ortiz twice. Shit fighters don't defend the Heavyweight title 10 times. Shit fighters aren't a fraction away from sending the best HW on the planet to hell. If u think Fury wins. Great. But anyone saying Wilder is shit & has no chance is a clown.

Bud Crawford is kind of stuck in no man's land atm. Canelo fight is dead. Jermell fight lost all its luster. Tszyu is tied up. Nobody wants to see the Spence rematch. Boots Ennis is the only logical opponent left for Bud. Hopefully we get that now.

During the entire decade of the 1990s there were a total of 26 Boxing PPVs. It was 2 or 3 per year, and they were special. We got together with friends and made it into an event. Now there's a PPV almost every month, sometimes twice a month. They aren't special anymore.

Canelo is still the P4P king (for most). But if we do get the Spence/Crawford fight. It's going to be tough not to crown the winner of that as the best fighter in the world and P4P #1.

At the time Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev was considered a 50/50 fight and many were picking Gvozdyk to win. That's how highly thought of as a fighter he was. If Gvozdyk can capture some of that fighter he could make the fight with Benavidez more competitive and difficult than is expected.

Tank's resume isn't as shit as its made out to be. It might not be elite but it's good and many wins are aging very well. He also passes the eye test in spades. But there's a segment of fans who just hate the guy and always will hate him. It goes beyond boxing. It is what it is.

Bud Crawford should now be considered an All Time Great. A historically significant fighter & one of the best to ever put on a pair of gloves. His story is still being told so I won't jump the gun on where he belongs on the All Time list, but he's on there. Joins the elite club.

Canelo is holding them titles hostage. Giving title shots to whoever he pleases instead of whoever deserves it. No wonder Benavidez and Morrell moved up to 175. They'd be waiting endlessly otherwise. Everything wrong with the sport can be found in that 168 division.

It's weird seeing people who call themselves boxing fans make disparaging remarks about Inoue. Inoue is a destroyer. Very few fighters dominate top contenders the way that he does consistently. If you can't appreciate that, you're not a boxing fan, you're just a hater.

Inoue vs Lomachenko while still a pipe dream, is more realistic than Inoue vs Tank ever was. Loma is a small Lightweight who could probably reach a lower catchweight without issue, and would be more likely to accept such terms. Plus Loma and Inoue are both with Top Rank.
