of course i do - unbelievably bad takes and nonsense tinged with race elements and both of these fighters were blackI know you haven't forgot how this board was pre Spence vs Crawford lol. These dudes were insufferable
And now it's like tumbleweeds in a Western movie from 99.9% of them
platforms with movement and individuals crashing out over the result on top of monster taking out fulton the same week after downplaying monster due to sheer ignorance - it was a hard week for non boxing ass nikkas bro lol
im just patiently waiting to see if boots is getting smoke for being an email champ or (more likely) crawford will get the smoke for this
devin haney was getting called email champ and getting the runaround by lomachenko, TR, and the wbc andHE was getting ALL the smoke for no reason
That fight was never happening, which is why I proposed a more realistic fight. You can’t tell me you ever took that fight seriously in real time.
maybe he realized he just didnt have it at top level..he runs a gym from what i can tell so he is doing well
degale falling off was worse...mfr lost his teeth and resistance against jack and is shakier than a bytch in losing his belt to caleb truax in the UK
of course he will, he's Black. Nobody had any smoke for Tszyu getting the same designation.
breh they fought an exhibition 16 years after the fact and it still had interest...you know that was a thing...we mention chris byrd yeah but byrd was never on anyone's radar like that outside of hardcores around that time..but we knew it was still a fight for roy
Nygga, what does that exhibition have to do with the time frame we are referring to? Sure it was a fight the casual fans wanted to see, but it was never going to happen.
Let’s just be real, Jones managed his career a certain way. Taking on Tyson did not align with the way he moved .
that exhibition they eventually did...you think that was some dream match out of the blue? nah it was stemming from that time in 03..i can see if roy and lennox lewis paths never crossed even though they were HW champs at the same time..roy giving up money making HW fights esp vs mike tyson for antonio tarver doesnt make a lick of sense even if you manage a career a certain way
Did I say that ?
Again I’m aware Tyson/Jones was a thing. However, I never took the fight seriously because I knew it wouldn’t happen. This was back when I was a hardcore boxing fan. Jones was a very smart matchmaker, and winning was important to him back then.
Post prime it was evident he didn’t care about losing .

Damn, IBF is the strictest body but that seemed fast given the circumstances. The Spence fight was just in July and there might not even be anywhere for Boots or Bud to fight in early 2024. Bud probably doesn't care and is moving up but I wonder what options were presented if any
Hopefully this is a one off.
The sad part about him is he will never fully understand how the rest of the boxing community is turned off by the way he carries himself.
All he had to do was shut the fukk up and let his plans come to fruition.
yeah the ibf doesn't fukk around after nearly getting sued stupid since they are US based...they play hardball
That's fukking nuts. We're not even a full four months removed from the fight.
The rematch must gone be at 154 or they're both moving up to 154 respectively.
