I guess with over 20 years of watching boxing you get kinda jaded as a fan.

I've seen so many fights end up not happening, but had me like when they were first mentioned or talked about.

So when #GGGoodboys or any fukking boxer for that matter, says they can beat this or that person I just. until that shyt actually looks feasible. I don't allow myself to get worked up anymore over tweets, videos, managers, weed carriers etc...and whatever the hell they might say.

I can live with not seeing GGG/Ward.

I'd be more disappointed if I didn't see Superman/Krusher or Broner/Crawford than Ward/GGG to be honest, but we all got are own big fight preferences though.

That's the #1 fight I want to see....but both of them are acting as if the other doesn't exist

I would favor Broner if it happened

So I guess you guys would call that a double duck or how about duck duck goose.

Hell, I'd settle for a Figeroua fight from either one as well.

@SuikodenII what do you think about this?

Zolani Tete Ponders Weight Leap For Rigondeaux Showdown
Updated at 10:30 AM EST, Fri Feb 19, 2016 Read More By :
South African super-puncher Zolani Tete says he’d love to take on pound-for-pound megastar Guillermo Rigondeaux.

The former IBF World Super-Flyweight Champion from Mdanste in the Eastern Cape will feature on the same action-packed card as the unbeaten Cuban at the Liverpool Echo Arena on Saturday 12th March, live and exclusive on BoxNation.

Bantamweight Tete harbours dreams of becoming one of the greats of African boxing and is already making a name for himself as the most explosive puncher in his division with an incredible 18 knockouts in 22 wins.

The clinical southpaw says he could move up to super-bantamweight to face Rigondeaux after he takes on Mexican Jose Santos Gonzales.

He said: “You never know what the future holds but I won’t rule anything out. It’s one of those big fights you always dream of being involved in. Everyone wants to take on the very best and if the time is right it could happen. Rigondeaux is an amazing boxer and he is rated as one of the best for a reason so I have a lot of respect for him; he’s a true champion,”

“He’s a southpaw and I’m a southpaw, we’re both good boxers so it would be a great fight. It wouldn’t be easy but I believe I could beat him. I think it would be an entertaining fight for the fans that’s for sure.”

Touted as one of the best boxers to come out of Africa in recent years, Tete is determined to become a multi-weight world champion and plans on making the super-flyweight, bantamweight and super-bantamweight divisions his own.

He said: “It’s one of those big fights I’m looking for but Rigondeaux is two divisions higher than me and there are guys in this division and the next that I’m looking to beat first. When I decide to go up I’ll fight Rigondeaux or whoever is champion at the time,”

“When I’m changing weight division my trainers will make sure that I work on my power and strength so I’ll be more powerful than I am at super-featherweight. Moving up a weight won’t be a problem for me and I won’t lose my sting.”

Carl Frampton will defend his IBF super-bantamweight title against Scott Quigg on Saturday and the powerful Tete believes he has what it takes to beat the both of them.

He said: “I’d definitely fight one of them in the near future. With the skills and talent I have I believe I could conquer them. I am not taking anything away from them, yes they are true champions but I think I’ve got what it takes to put my name at the top of the pile.”

Hopefully shades of Guerrero/Asian cat

Whys that?

 

[Knicksman20]

Whys that?

He has more big fight experience & has faced better/stronger comp. Also Broner's chin is sturdier & I think his power would be the X-factor carrying him to victory. This is his natural weight class & I don't think he gets beat by someone his own size.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

I just like the fact that both Broner and Crawford are gunners and great finishers.

That fight will have some great exchanges if it ever happens.

Ive been wanting that one as well for a while now.....but Figuero has out grown every weight class he's supposed to be in


His last 3 fights: weighed in at 135 vs Estrada with a 135 limit, weighed in at 141 1/2 vs Burns with a 140 limit, and weighed in at 151 vs Demarco...........and the Demarco fight was supposed to be at 140 as well, but Figs just missed weight horribly

 

[Mook]

soto karass hasn't fought since mid 2014; kamegai is going to thrash him..this fight isnt going to be pretty at all

where are they going to throw this on? standalone on showtime? pbc? hbo? one of the ppvs?

Doesn't matter. Jap vs Mexican, can be nothing but a classic
