ruiz has never really been in shape in the conventional sense lol..his lowest weight is like in mid 240s which use to frustrate me

Right, it's hard to say someone is in shape when they look like Ruiz. Him fighting Joshua basically a month after the Dimitrenko bout kept him in shape, and the way Ruiz has been talking in the media just has me a lil suspect about his conditioning for the rematch.

Enjoying that victory lap a lil too much, he still has to beat Joshua that second time.

Dude who sound like Biz Markie in the Ring Gang Radio podcast got a mad cute Voice.

This bum is a free Agent N turning down 4Xs his career payday


Bu bu bu bu but Dazn offered Tank

Farmer gon look bad if he fight Jojo for 2mil or less. He better know what he doing. All these nikkas looking scary, but he had a chance to put the ball in their court and he got greedy.

too lazy and faded to research that now but I'd be surprised if mere 250k viewers would mean +5 millions to him

250k At 75 a buy would generate 18.9 million divide that by 2 and you got
Around 9.4. I think PBC gets a better split but we will take that. Not counting the gate or any other revenue they’d be able to both make career highs.

im sorry but i cannot see tank vs farmer selling on ppv as a main event

True
shyt would need a fire co main event and heavy promotion along with it an even then that's no guarantee for success.

who are some fast handed fighters we dont hear about much? Ed Hopson was like a mini meldrick taylor. But didn't live to his potential

Vernon Paris Hand speed was crazy few times I saw him fight

I agree with your point mostly, 5 losses is a little much, but Brook gets overrated on here. He had some ok skills, but talking about the guy like if he hadn't fought GGG he would have ran through Welter is crazy talk. Brook got stopped by Spence, and I can't see him beating Crawford, Pac, or Thurman. Honestly I don't know if he wouldn't have struggled against Danny Garcia either. His size helped him greatly.

Gotta remember he suffered a serious stabbing after the Porter fight
Brook without the stabbing and having never had half his face broke by GGG might have beat Spence
We’ll never know

Tevin farmer already being out of the DAZN deal is kind of crazy and a major come up for him
He basically took no damage in those fights. I won’t go as far as saying they were glorified sparring matches but the fact he was taking fights like 2 months apart suggest his body was going thru very little stress
He’s probably guaranteed to get a better deal at this point. This dude could walk away having made 4-6 million in like 2 yrs with no damage

Also isn’t Davis promoted by mayweather and managed by haymon?
Their whole thing is being free agents
Why is he locked into a showtime deal
Let him go get a quick $5 mil for “easy work” and come right back
shyt if he looks good dazn might give him a mega deal
Don’t get it

1st off, I'm speaking all time. Which is why I mentioned Casamayor. If i didn't, Cuba would only have Rigo to hype as this generation's great fighter.

Our boxing eyes see different breh. All them nikkas you name dropping are just ok in the grand scheme of things.
At the end of the day. Cuba only produced 2 pro boxers that would make the HOF.. (Casamayor and Rigo)

Florida, Michigan, Puerto Rico, and Mexico has produced more HOF quality fighters and don't get the imaginary "school of boxing" hype that Cuba gets. which has always been my point. You can add NY and Cali too.

This nikka really trying to argue Ugas as some good fighter.

Only Barrera I respect come from Mexico. That Cuban nikka just looked like shyt against Hart who looked less shytty.



If Ugas was from Europe, he'd be looked at the same way we view Postol.

the EE fighters have adapted way better. Ain't lose that hunger. I dunno what goes wrong with the,cubans nowadays honestly considering their school of boxing got EE roots. That whole defecting shyt can't help em.
Yoan Pablo hernandez did decently. World Jr champ. I remember his fights with cunningham. Injuries fukked him up.
Juan carlos gomez, world jr champ at least captured a title. Got busted for doping though.
Mike Perez....world jr champ... well you know.
And thats just cruiserweight. You can do that with other fighters but someone needs to break the cuban run of bad luck. Country that small producing that amateur talent? Do the commiesk break these guys that hard?

If PBC offered Tevin 2 Ms

I’m 100% positive Al goin hook up Tank with more then 5

Knowing how PBC operates how is that even an argument


Act like Tanks crybaby ass wouldn’t be bytching up a storm on Twitter if the Dazn offer was the most money for him


nikkas will do mental gymnastics for Tevin Farmer turning down 2 million

I'm hoping dorticos can pull it off. He got mad heart. The best of the bunch in rigo quit and he took virtually no punches
And he's a legit p4p talent

There's literally NO reason why he should be turning down $2 mill for a dude he claims he REALLY wants to get in the ring with.
