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

These rumors of Boots team sending a 147 Offer to Vigil was fukking disgusting. I can't defend this nikka anymore if it is true.

I said before this nikka has the WOAT team in Boxing.

PBC is loaded at 154, Errol spence is pretty much finished so the only "Stars" PBC has is Tank and Benevidez, PBC have no reason to not give Boots the keys to the castle especially when you look at the 154 and 160 landscape.

Boots was signed to Cameron Dunkin and Showtime, I feel they used the PBC broadcast deals to hide behind when they were never PBC talent. Boots got 30 fights and he talking about being active,nikka has been active enough at this point and needs big fights.

Matchroom literally offers nothing at 147 or 154, hell even for 147 2 of the 4 belts are PBC aligned. And PBC has no problem sending people across the street as we see with Stefon Fulton and Monster.

At this point I`m look Boots aint serious. Abdullah Mason, Keyshawn are the future for Black American fighters at this point once the dust settles and we see who comes out on top of the Tank/Shakur saga.

I gave Boots the benefit of the doubt going the IBF route being that they tend to be the only Body who make sure you get your shot + Spence being PBC, but at this rate It was clear they smelled Blood in the Water.

Boots finna be fighting Eurobums in Philly for the foreseeable future.

Too many of these fighters are having discussions with their "team" instead of just telling their team what they gone do. shyt is frustrating to watch.

Only thing that makes sense is Murtazaliev or waiting to beat up Jermell.

yeah I said it in the Tim thread I wanna say that if Bud or Boots went after that IBF it will be a statement fight. Murta wasn't anything "special" where you can't figure him out (Tim fought like an idiot).

Canelo Bud aint happening, and if Bud is fine with Fundora Spence moving on IMO Mell vs Bud is the biggest fight you can make at 154 as Mell is still "King" since he was never beat and all the rankings still have him as WBA champ it seems (I thought he was WBC and WBA champ in recess).

I said in the past bud I feel Bud should fight Mell at 154/Just Unify at max and then head to 160 "chase greatness" and expand his stats on Division Championships because it kills two birds with 1 stone as he can still see how he feels in the rare case Canelo opens up at 168 for his retirement match.

Bud is on the wrong side of 35, and yeah he is a gym rat but still It will catch up with him and he is continuing to kill his momentum IMO

Eh... That "wrong side of 35" shyt doesn't really work when Charlo and Alvarez are 34. And as everyone can see, he lives a very healthy lifestyle, but I do understand what you mean.

I was speaking in terms of getting the belt.

Bud 37 breh, 2025 he turns 38, so he has years (plural) on Charlo and Canelo. Like I said at some point it will catch up, I`m not saying overnight but also Charlo/Canelo/ the cats at 154 and over in general aint the dudes you want to be in the ring with when Father Time catches up with you.

Just seen it this shyt was amazing

Round 5 one of the best rounds I ever seen

I had it 114-113 Quartey; 116-112 DLH is the shyt that makes boxing unrespectable some times

They ain’t give bra a rematch too that’s crazy

This is goin in my all time fights tho, Quartey put on for Ghana

I just rewatched it again & what a difference between the HBO cheerleaders broadcast & the Top Rank one on YouTube commentated by Al Bernstein

I been said if Ortiz and Boots fought right now I'd favor Ortiz. Ortiz would quite easily be the toughest and most live dog he's faced, has consistently been matched up better than Boots to this point in their careers(despite having almost 10 less pro fights), and he can punch your lights out with either hands on top of them being fast as well. Not to mention Ortiz has shown when he just slow down and boxes and is patient instead of going all out he can box you up. Even if Boots wins(not out the realm of possibility I think it would be a pretty close fight either way you lean), Ortiz would definitely destroy the aura surrounding Boots win or lose.

That isn't true or I haven't seen this. Last thing I saw was WBO would not grand the Belt to be on the line unless Fundora fought a top 15 Name, and the rumor was they were working to see if Errol could get ranked but it seems or there is no word on it being approved. The November Rankings are out and Errol isn't listed.

Yea that's the rankings as of now.. this was months ago what im referring to.. Haymon was trying to make Fundora fight Spence as a voluntary and Crawford had the choice of stepping aside and fighting the winner or Fundora was gonna vacate and Bud would have to settle for a vacant strapped.. Obviously he rather fight the winner.. The problem is Spence bum ass either backed out, can't pass medical, or got his ass beat by another sparring partner so now that fight is in the toilets with no explanation from Haymon or the PBC as usual and now Spence is following in Keith Thurman footsteps....

This was almost 2 months ago

I remember that bouncing around a couple of months ago. I think Spence's issues are strictly medical. He took some serious punishment in that fight.

Spence issue is he stupidly won't take 1 or 2 tuneup fights so now he's just wasting people's time.. Bud shoulda just took the vacant strap and stayed active.. he cant afford to waste anymore time waiting on these PBC fighters to act right

Coach Malachi is crazy


Floyd Schofield Sr got beef with everybody it seems

Basically

The Spence Fundora situation is a in house finesse gone wrong at this point. PBC wanted to squeeze another big ppv out of Spence while making sure if anyone whipped Fundora ass the belt would stay in house. I still don't know why Bud took the step aside money tho , it must have been a nice check

I was watching Scholfield Jr (kid Austin is the third apparently) arguing on mill city boxing last night. Dude is slowly growing on me. He doesn't let anyone speak and be straight housing these interviewers. He made some good points for why his son should fight shakur now. Ppl hate on these boxing dads but it's no denying they create buzz for the sons. Brian Norman and Schofield done both juelzed their way into million dollar offers

these are good fights
