Yea it's weird he starts and keeps it flat(turned over)

Come to think of it that's the perfect left hook to throw since so many dudes like to catch left hooks with the glove ala Floyd now a days. To catch the hook that way you are banking on it being vertical when it lands on your glove. That flat shyt could slide above it even it you catch it n give you that equilibrium work. :francis:

Still haven't rewatched the Swift fight but those gifs gonna make me pay attention to his feet more. :obama:

We thought dude has struggle footwork but he moved well on saturday....I think it had more to do with him not feeling like the was the physically stronger guy in there though.

When is the new MGM open??

Im hearing ALOT of buzzing that Floyd was at Staples to scout Swift N that's why he was hating

If Floyd fights Swift in May....Khan might commit that :dead:
Doesn't Swift have to fight Khan or get stripped?

I agree it could catch someone who wasn't expecting it. But where do you generate the power from if the hands already turned? It'd basically be the opposite of an arm punch, if that makes sense. @Yuzo

Jeff Horn Faces Randall Bailey on March 2 in Brisbane - Boxing News

Many have passed this test..... and all went on to be world champions (except Herman Ngodjo--but that fight could've went either way). Not the most competitive fight to be made, sure, but he's a name USA audiences know an he still has one-punch KO power. Let's see how he handles fighting a guy that can end a fight in an instant from round 1 to 12.

Floyd is Champion Emeritus... He ever wants a title shot he jumps to the Front of the line

Besides that tho...Swift Khan is going be hard to make Team DSG wants new opps (don't blame them, fukk Khan) but if Al says fight Khan then Swift will fight Khan

Khan might fight in March might not...Has Ramadan June 5th

Then we gotta see how they get paid Swift is the Champ, the Draw N has a W over Khan ... Will Khan accept not being the A side?? If not then what?? Can't force a purse bid cuz WBC champs get 70/30 split :lolbron:

Exactly...it took PBC 8 months to make Keith vs Porter

They got 4 months to hammer out Swift vs Khan with June 4th as the very latest date possible :dead:


Ill be Shocked if it happens next
Khan needs to fight (WBC strap or not) I think Swift has earned a few month longer break than normal. Esp if his first fight back is defending the strap

But wouldn't he lose his shot at the WBC title if he lost?
Sure but, as of right now, there is no "champion" until Pac-Bradley 3.....

Thurman, Brook, and Garcia hold belts. One doesn't hold more significance than the other since they're all corrupt. It's about money. The belt is a means to an end. I believe Khan would make more money chasing the IBF than the WBC.


Money is the end game, the belt helps you get there significantly easier and faster than normal. There are exceptions to the rule if either

A: You have an established Hall of Fame career and can still compete with the top 10 in your division
B: You have an established paying fan base in your home country
C: You have an uniquely exciting fighting style and reputation
D: You have already held a world title

Fulfilling 2-4 of these almost guarantees paydays. And one of these (D) is a lot easier to obtain in a time where there are 4 world titles to each weight class.
