GGG3 was difficult too...he gassed badly in the 2nd half. if it wasnt for the fact GGG was slow to the trigger in the first half, canelo could have lost that fight

Is there anything preventing Jake Paul from working with Turki or being on his cards?
Given his track record so far I think Turki would be against setting him up against serious opponents but who knows
ill give jake his credit for managing to make his promotional stable profitable without turki involved as he is able to go in between the legit pro world for his boxers and the carny influencer nature for him and the youtubers..double dipping lol
but turki dont respect jake as a boxer and we know turki would have him facing legit cruisers/heavies...jake is not at that level..the party would be over
at this email i got from jake's PR people on turki snatching the fightwhoo this boxing shyt has changed

Freak show events are not necessarily below him, he started out in boxing with Fury vs Ngannou iirc, that was his and the whole Ryad Season's introduction. Then AJ vs Ngannou too though that had more legitimacy due to Fury almost fukking up against Ngannou.
But Jake Paul threw a tantrum about Canelo so I guess fortunately this is really off.
Still not holding my breath about Canelo's opponents, I expect nobody that could pose a real threat for now but at least we didn't steep that low.
turki has respect for mma...he still sees them as legit fighters whereas he looks at Jake like a youtuber lol

That ginger hasn't had a fight the world was excited for in damn near 5 years.....him not taking the benavidez fight is gonna haunt his legacy when he retires 
Watched Crawford-Madrimov again..commentary was really terrible. Crawford won 8 rounds pretty comfortably. Madrimov did not do enough to warrant anything more than 5 rounds. I think people just wanted to shyt on Crawford but this fight just showed all the dimensions he possesses and why he's so difficult to beat.
it was either shyt on crawford, shyt on madrimov (because they knew nothing about him/never seen him fight), or both
that being said..crawford had to win the last 2 rounds in order to get that W

Legit fighters but not necessarily legit pro boxers.

Agreed and I feel a lot of people are doing the same thing with the Benavidez Morrell fight
When ppl go into a fight not liking a particular fighter for whatever reason they going view everything in that fight through those lens
Will be interesting to see what happens if madrimov beats ortiz in their upcoming fight

All this over a failed negotiation
He not so low key disrespecting all his future potential opponents
Also haven't some of his fights flopped? He needs dance partners in a way Mayweather and even Canelo didn't
