joyce has clearly been eating good since getting ko'ed again
Crawford has what? 3 divisions as a champion? He just don't fight anybody. The Spence fight would of happened a long time ago if not for that accident but he still gave Amir 7 million and wouldn't even consider Thurman..odd.Teo at 25 has a better resume than Bud too
Benavidez went back and forth with Plant and Morell...he and Andrade kept joking..so that didn't matter.
Haney hadn't done anything wrong..he thought Ryan would fight him..Matias clearly isn't looking to sign a contract either. Tank is just talking...140 slowly morphing into 135 since all the divas moved up is nasty work

I'm a massive Opetaia fan, but I just think he might be slightly undersized for HW... would love to be proven wrong, though

The post AJ/Fury era HWs wont be that big outside of Zhang and he is already 40 or something

I highly doubt that the Saudis are going to make Joshua-Wilder, Tank-Devin or other mega fights happen. I think these promoters see that they can easily milk the Saudis for high paydays for fights that wouldn't really sell that well in their own countries(especially UK). The UK boxing scene is not in its best shape since Eddie Hearn basically burned through a billion dollars with DAZN(They have just increased their price again), AJ loss to Ruiz and Daniel Kinahan being on the run.
You might think....."well Usyk vs Fury is going down" thats because Usyk signed with Skill Challenge, which used to run the boxing scene in Saudi until Turki took full control just a few months ago so they probably can get him big fights, meanwhile AJ is fighting an Ngannou, which would never go down without the Saudis. I don't think the Saudis are in this for the long term.....They have a goal and the boxers better get some of that Saudi money before it dries up.

What makes you say that? I'm not disagreeing, just curious
At this point Ryan need to buy out his contract or stfu. He got more than enough money to
I could be wrong but all the “top” HW seem to be 6’2-6’5 max

Fair enough... although Opetaia is barely 6'2, so he'd still very much be on the lower end of that scale
Like I said, I hope I'm wrong - I'd love to see him go on a successful HW run
Question is him filling out imo. Because i only see zhang as the outlier
the one Bud made mid 7 figures after taxes on
