Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Whether it’s a 3 or 4 fight deal, there’s no way in hell Manny Or PBC are wasting one of them on any of those guys, except Khan If he pulls an upset

Like it or not, Mannys a hall of fame legend.And his name and legacy is gonna bring the most money in, so while I agree with your sentiment for boxing reasons, Manny is gonna be in the title picture until he calls it a career.

Gawd I hope Spence handles business and defeats Pacquiao

Yes I'm aware Manny is not going to remove himself from the title picture. He still has to market himself as one of the best WW's in the world.

I just don't want this guy to get a title and hold up the division.

I think Mikey, Danny, and Amir are PPV fights for Manny. Make money with those guys.

Danny is in a weird spot. His gunshy self with these two recent losses puts a blemish, but his name is big enough for a PPV Bout Manny or a Bud Fight , should he take care of Granados next month.

I don’t think Danny throws enough punches required to beat the elite WW’s. It’s not as bad as a guy like Broner though.

Of course floyd got the majority vote

People want to see a rematch??

Lots of casuals follow Pac...

I guess those who didn’t vote for Mayweather were the hardcores... At this point a Floyd vs Pac fight would be meaningless to the sport as Floyd almost guarantedly and Pac probably too would retire right after the fight.

I see the Danny Garcia gassing up is going on again....Porter outboxed him & took his belt:forreal:

Tell that slow ass nikka to get a win over a legit WW before yall start trying to rebuild his bandwagon. I told you he cant fukk with #PorterHouse...


And for the rest of you nikkas who still doubt Spence & #TruthSeekers...you're stupid.


And also, SRR is the GOAT

Say brehs, I'm studying the game by watching some fights from fighters I'm trying to emulate. Unfortunately at some points there are always some HBO fights with senile ass Merchant.

For the brehs that was following boxing in the 2000s, how come he lasted that long ? Can't find any instance in his commentary in the that adds value. Like he was just about trivia and noticing blood and cuts with a super slow delivery. Unbearable.

Real Talk, you might be too removed from that era of boxing to appreciate the cynical tough love gems that Merchant used to drop. He'd be the one to reel in Jim when he start going over board with the cheerleading and HBO agenda. Plus in his interviews, he'd ask the tough questions that the fans wanted to know even when the boxers would try to dismiss it. Kellerman does the same shyt now, but he never went in as hard as Merchant did. It may have come off rude sometimes, but you see now how sensitive these boxers are today. If you ain't press them, you wouldn't get any type of worthwhile interview out of them. Plus social media wasn't popping like that to just go to their twitter and see what they really felt about something.

His chemistry with Jim/George/Roy/Steward was pretty good to me. Now every now and then he'd say some stupid shyt that a non boxing ass nikka would say that would be lowkey disrespectful to fighters because he lacked that perspective, but just like clockwork Roy would check his ass. Foreman did too sometimes so he would stay in his lane for the most part.

Towards the end of his run, Merchant's delivery got slower and he became more jaded with the boxers and the industry. So if you never liked Merchant, then he was really bad towards the end. Its hard to pinpoint certain fights where his commentary was on point because he was on so many telecasts. He usually shined at the end of the event in the final thoughts segments. That's where he would put everything into perspective along with the many years he covered the sport newpaper and tv wise and give you that raw honest opinion.

He called out boxers when they only did enough to win and were boring, but he'd also praise those same boxers when they got into good fights and answered questions with their performances. You either gon like him or hate him. I personally loved his zingers and the way he would describe certain fights or boxers. Some of it came off like the type of shyt that would be said here. I was a fan and saw what he brought to the sport, but I can understand if he rubbed others the wrong way. It be like that sometimes.
