Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Fighters were more skilled back then..the sad thing is you don't have to go back too far to see the recipes being lost

Man... Too many nikkas thought they were Roy. Then too many nikkas thought they were Floyd.

The first is probably the greatest athlete boxing has ever seen.

The other is probably the smartest fighter boxing has ever be seen.

Meant to tell y'all this last week. Had a patient who's name is Larry Holmes.

The best part is he was white

 

[Bigblackted4]

he explained why
Matchroom promised to keep him active, something PBC has trouble doing with the majority of their fighters
To be fair, the 1 event Matchroom did for him was bigger/better than any event Showtime put together for him
They just need to keep that momentum going. Eddie just signed him and is probably not trying to put dude in a 50/50 or even 60/40 fight right away without making money off him first so it might be a slow roll to start but there are fights out there for Boots that don't involve pbc. he/eddie just needs to be serious about taking them. Norman at 147, Ortiz, Bud and the eastern euros at 154

He also signed him after they did all the work but it was obvious he wanted to go somewhere where he could be truly active and this will be best for his career for the immediate future. Idk about two or three years down the line.

When it happens, former lightweight world champion and Stevenson rival George Kambosos Jr is willing to bet big bucks that ‘Tank’ gets the knockout.

“[I’ll bet] a million he knocks [Shakur’s] buck teeth out cold. Wont happen though, Shakur just talks. Maybe if it’s 5 on 1 like his little street fight.”

Damn I thought I was never gonna get on…. I couldn’t remember my password for months it felt like, by the grace of god I somehow remembered.

Seems like guys go for per fight guarantees and signing bonuses over pbc who is gonna make you wait for back end money from ppv and live gates.

Weren't they talking about him on a Canelo card before he went to DAZN? Like the did with Tank and Benevidez.

quality fight..i can dig it

 

[patscorpio]

i would go to this if this was in philly...first norman fight id go to willingly lol

 

[patscorpio]

i know boots and team are working to make that unification a thing...because a mandated fight/rematch with karen will get him criticized

 

[Apollo Creed]

Devin look crazy for giving up his WBC belt to just come back and fight Paro, coulda been a unification

 

[kaldurahm]

Dev better off fighting Sandor Martin over Liam Paro? That's a tough ass fight.

 

[JP_614]

Dev better off fighting Sandor Martin over Liam Paro? That's a tough ass fight.

Under IBF rules don’t they have that rehydration clause good luck.
