The welterweight division is so top heavy with probably 3 guys who could be p4p top 10 but it feels so :trash: with the match ups. Pat was right at least MW are facing each other other than blow job saunders

Yup and then when the top names do make decent fights, its never entertaining. You got one nikka doing just enough while the other is trying not to get hurt.

If someone would have told me last year that a fukking Thurman tune up bout with Lopez would be the most exciting fight outta the list below, I would have just :mjlol::hhh:
Pac vs Broner
Spence vs Mikey
Porter vs Ugas.

idk bruh. He had a bad round or two (one verrry bad round if i'm being honest) and another toss up round, but he was in complete control of that scrap....as he should have been. Give em Pac Man, i dont care for a Porter rematch :camby:

Struggling was maybe harsh but certainly didn’t convince me and didn’t look like his old self.
A Porter renatch pointless? Idk about that Mal, Thurman gotten worse since the lay off imo and Porter... well he also might have slipped a little but it might be another close fight at this point. First was as close as it gets and bith regressed, also it was a foty candidate or foty.

That’s Wilder’s big announcement :francis: He and Joshua need to stop bullshyttin and fight. That’s the only matchup everyone wants to see.

It's embarrassing. I still doN't think he's ducking Joshua just that he's a stubborn fool who prioritize loyalty to an employer in a professional setting instead of focusing on his own career. When a regular person in a regular job changes workplace cause for example the other workplace pays better and has better career prospects it's usually not frowned upon and viewed as disloyal behaviour. Idk why the same thing can't be applied to sports too.

Let's be honest, Wilder vs AJ won't happen on some split PPV shyt, Joshua is not with a traditional channel, Wilder is with a traditional channel, one of them has to move and none of them is tied with an exclusive contract to his current "network". It's gonna happen either on DAZN or Showtime/FOX, there's no inbetween, one of these providers gonna have to lose their investment in order that we can see this fight or we won't see the fight at all. Here was the opportunity for Wilder to take the money and go fight AJ but unfortunately he chose rather not to upset his employers at Showtime. Idk how much he's getting for fighting Breazeale on Showtime but I'd be surprised if it's more than 20 millions.

Yeah, I seriously think he is angling for a Floyd type payday for one fight with AJ. That isn't realistic though, he's a great fighter but he's not in the mainstream consciousness at all. He's not getting that kind of money when he can't even sell an arena out in his own country.
