154lbs isn't that good I find all the potential matchups there that don't involve Canelo or Floyd as boring and uninteresting as all the 160lbs matches that don't involve GGG or Cotto 160lbs has a bunch of solid if unspectacular veterans, 154lbs has a bunch of unproven guys.

What's the last exciting fight to come out of that division that Canelo wasn't in?

Atleast N'Dam/Lemieux was spectacular and Andy Lee has had a couple of good fights until that Kid Choc struggle. The Lee/Saunders fight has potential to be pretty good, too. And after seeing Saunders against Eubank Jr I think Lee is the perfect litmus test at 160lbs. He's pulled a few guys cards and is Julio's best win, and is pretty much the only reason people feel like there's still a legit fighter somewhere in Jr.

Also, the upside to 160lbs is it's the division with the least amount of Top Rank/Haymon fukkery Kid Choc giving up that belt was a blessing on top of a blessing. All the top guys in that division definitely will be fighting each other, compared to the deeper divisions in the sport having a handful of potentially great hypothetical matchups that are never going to happen

EDIT: I also like cruiserweight, too If Huck, Hernandez, Lebedev, and Drozd get into it I'll be watching

Tony Harrison vs Willie Nelson about 2 weeks ago.

Breh's @patscorpio and I are going to debate Tim Bradleys punch mechanics next week on PPV @ChocolateGiddyUp vs @((ReFleX)) debating Lucas/Swift and @krackdagawd / @Newzz debating Loma/Rigo.....Oscar said it's gonna do 250k buys

 

[Newzz]

I hope this ppv is about $39.99-49.99, I MIGHT get it for that price. Anything more though, I'm cool

Nah $19.99 would have to be the price for me. I slander GGG on here to counter balance the massive undeserved felatio, but dude has exciting fights. But we ain't seen him rumble with a live cat yet. So why should I the consumer pay for something I see all the time for free (GGG beating a fighter down who's not near his level)?

I know we've been back and forth on this countless times so lets look at facts.
One has fought and succeeded against two ATG's, the others toughest fight was against an Aussie who's a C+ fighter. One holds (or is about to) in one of the deepest divisions in the sport, the other is trying to unify in the weakest division.

So which of them two are you D riding breh?

Is this a question ...did I not just say the following?

I support all unification attempts in any division
I don't hold bradley in any high regard.

As mentioned by @Don Rhymus welterweight has promoter fukkery out the ass. So it's not that deep lol. If it was Bradley wouldnt be facing Jessie vargas. So I would be impressed if Bradley made an attempt to truly fight the best in that division other than saying it.

Now middleweight doesn't have any promoter fukkery. Only cotto fukkery. All champions currently can fight each other with any Haymon or Top Rank fukkery. GGG has made an attempt to do it and got it done.

Now of course I like GGG so of course him unifying 160 is what I really want to see.

#GGGoodBoys have arrived

Hope that undercard is piff tho.

 

[Achille]

As most people have said the fight definitely shouldn't be on PPV but I am definitely going to watch. On paper definitely a good scrap, and lets hope the undercard is stacked.

I don't think anyone has said we won't watch (stream team )but fights like this are what we pay a subscription to hbo for this aint no damn ppv

 

[yawn]

Had they been Haymon guys we would have got this on nbc or whatever

That's the thing Krack

Iont stan promoters and networks but it's hard not to fully support PBC with what they're doing right now

hbo is competing with PBC by taking months off and they come back by double dipping us and putting on unwarranted PPV's

Besides :jcc:and Shobox, Showtime has thrown in the towel and have nothing scheduled

Meanwhile PBC putting boxing iont have to pay extra for on ESPN, NBC,NBCSN,CBS,SPIKE & Bounce in August alone

Premium cable boxing looking real right now
