yeah honestly I wanna see Mall unify so he can then move up to 168 so 160 is clear for Mell and 154 clear for Spence.

Mall needs a fight ASAP and GGG and Janibek are busy so he needs to move up and take a "try out" fight to see how he feels at 168 and then jump into that Plant/Benevidez/Canelo mix.
They might put him in with Plant (If he is not facing Benavidez). GGG doesn't seem to want to unify against him. Jermell could probably force a title shot since he got all the major belts.

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
They offered Mungia a deal and Golden Boy blocked it. Even was going to put up the money and the rematch exclusively on DAZN if Mungia won.


Can't say they are not trying. This is the same thing holding up the Tank vs Garcia fight

GB has a partnership with DAZN.. There's no way around that. They have to be involved.. The sooner PBC accepts this the sooner we can get the big fights

His due mandatory would be Adames, I’d be cool with that, like it better than the Munguia fight. They built up Adames too had him beat Derev and Montiel, two former Charlo opponents. That should be a solid fight if they won’t have second thoughts about it.

It’s unfortunate cause I always thought Mall is a bit better than Mell but unlike his twin, Mall doesn’t seem to be interested in his legacy, dude looks to be comfortable with how things going, milking a belt against middling opposition (one exception was Derev), probably still trying to stall time so he doesn’t have to face anybody formidable before his turn comes in the Canelo sweepstakes. I get the rationale behind it but it’s off-putting and lame nevertheless.

I don’t see him fighting Alimkhanuly, that’s high risk low reward plus they would have to work with Top Rank.
Best option I can see is GGG vs Charlo if Charlo’s team gives up on the idea to get Canelo in the foreseeable future (not likely) because GGG is:
  • Old
  • Well known
  • Is a network free agent now
So checks all the boxes Janibek doesn’t

As for the PBC 168ers I can only see Plant as a Charlo opponent, they think Benavidez is too big, doesn’t seem like they want any part of that fight for now.

I get what you saying, but people didn’t feel no way about that because it’s a completely different circumstance. People lowered their expectations in hopes he would just come back and perform well. A lot of people were wondering if he was even going to ever box again. He coming straight off of giving us a fight that fans Wanted vs another elite boxer. He also coming off of a loss (the worst of his career) so him facing a easy challenge wasn’t a big deal. So yes you can complain about Crawford selection and not knock Wylder given what he went through.
my biggest thing is both of those fights are on ppv....wilder-helenius is whatever..i knew what it was...but what it wasnt is a 75 dollar PPV..like no...avanesyan is a decent fighter and the fukkery is getting him bashed for no real reason..but its also not the fight for crawford right now and an independent ppv..thats more offensive to me than anything since crawford is one of the top fighters in the world

and for the record..i did not want fury vs wilder 3...very adamant on here about that because wilder got his ass kicked in the 1st 2 fights and forcing the 3rd fight stopped the real heavyweight fight ppl wanted to see in fury vs joshua

so yeah you can knock both fights..they are one and the same to me

I understand your point of view. We can just respectfully disagree. :manny:
