It's crazy cuz usually when PBC has a solid year or even a great year, everyone else usually has their worst year save for a couple of moments. When PBC is doing good its usually because they have some sort of significant fight each month. (ex. Donaire vs Oubali)

When top rank carries the sport, its usually because of quantity.

then DAZN rounds out the top and will have its annual Anthony Joshua Identity crisis fight and Canelo euro tour

2019 was prolly the last year where everyone did good and had memorable significant fights on their platform.

For the most part, one of the above scenarios will happen.
all true but this best fight of this year so far def goes to GB

but right now DAZN with GB/Matchroom, SHO with PBC, and ESPN with TR have at least 2 FOTY candidates to their name for the first 4 months of this year so it is trending in 2019 direction..god willing

I remember when that was a rumored fight and ppl were like who df is Canelo. If he really got offered $1 million at that stage of his career then it was a good look honestly
I think Floyd use to just leak names to heat check fans to gauge reactions and interest. I remember dudes like Steve Forbes and Nate Campbell being rumored to fight Floyd around that time too

Carlos Adames Lashes Out at Jermall Charlo: "He's a Coward"​

Jermall Charlo hasn’t always been the most active fighter around. But the Houston native would routinely step through the ropes and proudly defend his WBC middleweight title. But, despite taking care of business against Juan Macias Montiel in 2021 for his fourth title defense, Charlo has spent his time sitting sequestered on the sidelines.
The truculent star’s recent stint on the bench hasn’t been shrouded in mystery. Initially, Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) was set to return to the ring in June of 2022. But, unfortunately for Charlo, he was forced to withdraw due to a lingering back injury. Ultimately, the current WBC titlist would take even more time away from the sport to attend to personal matters.
In the meanwhile, with Charlo temporarily out of the picture, Carlos Adames was moved to the front of the line. With four consecutive victories, the latest netting him the WBC middleweight interim crown, Adames is anxious to face Charlo in the ring.
Although the trials and tribulations of Charlo have been well-documented, Adames isn’t buying it. According to the 28-year-old secondary champion, Charlo is simply terrified to swap fists against him.
“Charlo is a chicken, he’s a coward,” said Adames during a recent interview with FightHype.com. “All he does is talk a lot of sh!t. He makes all these excuses that he has all of these injuries and that he’s sick but he doesn't want to fight with any good fighters.”
Following his protracted time away, Charlo has recently indicated that he’s ready to rock and roll both mentally and physically. While a return date hasn’t been officially announced, Adames (22-1, 17 KOs) will not be first up on his to do list.
Acrimonious over the entire ordeal, Adames will attempt to defend his interim title on June 24th, against former junior middleweight unified champion, Julian Williams. Though he isn’t looking past Williams, Adames is extremely confident that he’ll run through his upcoming foe. In the short term, the Dominican-born fighter is keeping a close eye on Charlo. What Adames wants more than anything is an accelerator button as he grows sick and tired of twiddling his thumbs while waiting for Charlo to pick up the phone and give him a call.
“Just hurry up and fight me already.”

look at who Canelo was fighting as an 18 year old in 2008, it's laughable to suggest that Floyd was trying to fight him. Floyd was at that point where he was dipping in and out of "retirement" only fighting big names and/or nikkas coming off of huge wins, I know that Ellerbee tweet is coming any minute now to call Canelo out on that lie
