I feel Andre Dirrell a the poster boy for disappointment.

Back in the day I thought Dirrell was more talented than Ward. If only he had Ward's intangibles to go along with his talent. His younger brother under up having a better career despite not being nearly as talented as him

the same..his fight with abe was still some of the best shyt ive seen from them

and he was jobbed against froch...the title should have changed hands..any other place except being in froch's hometown it would have

Not sure what type of numbers you're expecting. They just let it known it could be bought on ppv a few days before the fight. 99% of people had no idea they could even purchase it on ppv. Once canelo fights on a ppv only broadcast like a showtime or fox ppv then we can see what's what.
I was fukking around

One of those is against his mandatory. Won't be all champs. Don't see why he can't fight Plant and BJS this year though.
I still wouldn't be shocked to see that Spence fight in May. Especially if PBC throws the bag at him. It's just too much money to pass up. And you know canelo is gonna be looking for a massive fight on Cinco de mayo. Plant and saunders are good fights but not mega fights. Canelo vs Spence would be some super bowl level shyt.

I would be shocked just because both Eddy and Saul have been adamant in saying that their number one priority is to become undisputed at 168. For sure would be a mega fight. You think it clears 2milly + PPV buys?

Anyways, it's crazy that Saul went from having DAZN reject the Yildirim fight, to now essentially forcing anyone he does business with into bankrolling that fight.:pachaha:

I think it would have a good chance to break 2 mil. It's just one of those matchups that'll have the whole world talking. At the very least I think it does 1.5. especially with the PBC promotion.

I still think most likely canelo will fighter either plant or saunders. But reynoso said the other day anybody who wants canelo has to move up. But he said Spence is the only exception. So that lets me know they're still thinking about him. Canelo also said he can make 160 for Spence. And I think they'd rather do it sooner than later. Cause in 1 or 2 years canelo might not be able to make 160 anymore. I think a lot can happen in these coming months. Especially if dazn doesn't wanna air that yildrim fight or gets stingy with the money. Canelo might just say fukk it let's do the megafight. The belts will still be there after Spence.

It's prolly not likely. Just saying I wouldn't be shocked. Especially if haymon puts some crazy money on the table.

I can't believe we in here arguing about a guy who's beat one fighter prestige fighter in Loma on points of having the luxury of controlling his career like he beat canelo or a Floyd versus Oscar:dead:. Whatever you win bro I quit :hubie:
Teo got two wins that are better than Haneys best lol.

Even funnier, don't have a favorite amongst Teo/Haney/Ryan G etc. but the idea that ANY of these guys are scared to fight each other is hilarious. Some of you guys overrate the fukk out of boxers based off what they do to cans. Andrade is a classic Coli example.

The thought of Tank being shook of Haney :mjlol: shyt is retarded to even type. All these cats been fighting their entire lives.

Furthermore, some of y'all have been talking boxing on here with me for over 5 years, and still don't get it. The business dictates boxing, not the better fights. It's how people grow out of it. Boxing business and people getting paid comes 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and making the best fight comes way down the line, unless it's the money fight. Is what it is.

No way in hell Spence takes that fight. $20MM or whatever for a career altering beating wouldn't be worth it.

Based off that article, I hope GGG moves up to 168.

Also, if that article is true, Canelo would have a hell of a year.

Haney's best win is a washed Gamboa in a lackluster fight who he couldn't put away bro. Besides us hard cores, what kind of credit will Teo get for beating him now? If Haney gets one or two solid wins under his belt then the fight makes more sense. Haney brings nothing to the table at the moment for Teo if we''re being honest

true but it would be a win that can age nicely over time kinda like RJJ beating Hopkins and Toney in the 90’s
