It's part of the sport.
It can be for anything from stylistic reasons, poor preparation, or hell even a bad day. This isn't basketball. If your shot isn't falling that day, you can get subbed out the game. In boxing, you gotta just deal with it. You could literally be having a fukked up day and it just so happens to occur on the day of your fight. Sometimes you just gotta survive and advance. Every fight isn't going to be pretty.
Ward on oneAgreed N y’all kno I’m not a Spence Stan like that
Ward lost his god damn mind tho ... Bud Stans in here wouldn’t even take the argument he did
Man Mikey and BATB embarrassed the #SmokeSquad this year. Valdez in bits in pieces. #BeterBeast a unified champ though 
Lol@all this tough talk about Porter..like we didnt see Manny get KNOCKED SENSELESS by Marquez..like Floyd couldnt punk out Castillo in that first fight..a guy Spence would of MURDERED...LOL
How many fights does GGG still have left in him. He really lost his last fight,
Canelo is picking the low risk high reward fights.
AJ can stay on top if he keeps facing the same level of fighters.

Right, how many fights GGG got left in him? Not many, probably, but Pac doesn't have many in him either.
Terrible take about Canelo, he fought GGG 2X, Fielding, Jacobs and Kovalev in his last 5 fights, only one of them was kind of a gimme, the Fielding fight. Besides that what his competition has got to do with how big of a draw he is? We weren't even arguing about resumes now.
I don't exactly understand the Joshua comment, was that a jab at his level of competition? Joshua has the best overall resume at HW, he fights top 10 ranked opponents the most consistently, it's not like he'd be cherry picking out there.
You should be happy about Beterbiev...dude unified belts and became the man at 175 in a FOTY candidate after all the career BS he went through...he panned outMan Mikey and BATB embarrassed the #SmokeSquad this year. Valdez in bits in pieces. #BeterBeast a unified champ though
Ellerbe: Gervonta Davis an Event Like Mike Tyson in Late 80s
By Ryan Burton
Published On Thu Dec 12, 2019, 09:38 AM EST
In less than 3 weeks Gervonta Davis (22-0) will attempt to become a two-division champion when he faces Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-2) at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The vacant WBA world lightweight title will be at stake in the Showtime main event.
This will be Davis' third fight of 2019. In February he blasted out late replacement Hugo Ruiz in 1 round and then in July he took care of his mandatory obligation by stopping Ricardo Nunez in the 2nd round of their bout.
The 25-year-old Davis fought above the super featherweight limit early in his career but this will be his first fight as a full fledged lightweight. Mayweather Promotions' CEO Leonard Ellerbe, who promotes Davis, expects his fighter to be even more explosive at this higher weight class.
"I think he will be much stronger at 35. I think he is at a point where he can make 35 and he can still make 30. Tank is in the driver's seat with anything that he is doing. Each and every one of his fights are events. It kind of reminds me of back in the late 80's - Mike Tyson - where you just line the guys up and it doesn't matter who he fought. Again, Tank is of the mindset that he wants to fight the top guys out there and I think all that happens," Ellerbe told BoxingScene.com.

Davis has stopped all but one of his opponents and Ellerbe believes that knockout power is one of the key elements that has made Tank one of boxing's rising stars. Even though he is only 22 fights into his career, Ellerbe believes that his fighter is on the cusp of taking over the sport.
"Tank is one of the biggest stars in the entire sport right now. We are looking to make the biggest events humanly possible. Everywhere he goes he sells the joints out. He packs the arena. What Tank brings to the table is the same thing that Deontay Wilder brings and that is excitement. The fans want to see guys get knocked out. They can appreciate that everybody can't knock everybody out but guys like him and Deontay Wilder that is what they do and what the fans want to see," Ellerbe explained.
WBA world light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal will make his first title defense against Badou Jack in the co-feature bout.

Bob Arum talks Terence Crawford’s future: ‘Leave Manny Pacquiao alone, he’s an old man’
FFS I hope he's not bullshytting us, make those fights happen!
I'm also more interested in how Crawford deals with Porter's swarming rather than Swift. Swift did his dues at 140 and he's still a world class fighter but at 147 the top names including the likes of Porter and Thurman beat him, also Crawford is a terrible style matchup for him.
I'd be good with Bud vs Swift too but I'm more interested in Bud vs Porter

Joshua looked like what I seen from Greg Page, which is a nod to 80s heavyweights
