So they order this fight but don't order Lara/Andrade when Andrade had the regular title? Lara is a joke at this point but the WBA is even worse.

Alright hitting you late, but here is the chat wrap.
Dan Rafael chat wrap 10/27:
- Most exciting fight currently in discussion? GGG vs. Canelo rematch for May.
- The best HW fight to make is Joshua vs. Wilder. Nothing else is close.
- Murata is far from a finished product and has a lot of work to do. Faced weak competition other than N'Dam who a gatekeeper at this point. Massive popularity in Japan and the division is hot now.
- The winner of BJS vs. Lemieux will be in the conversation to face the winner of GGG-Canelo.
- Will Wilder fight Whyte in England in February? Doubt it.
- Has no issue with the WBO making Kovalev's fight for a title.
- Believes the retirement talk is just Wilder venting frustration for the way things have gone recently. No chance he retires.
- Salido vs. Vargas rematch? That was discussed but Vargas side was not interested. The Dec. 9 HBO show is likely going to be Salido-Mickey Roman, Farmer-Ogawa and Vargas-Stephen Smith. It will go up against Loma vs. Rigo.
- Why is Crawford Horn's #1 contender? WBO rules are very explicit in that if you are the title holder and move up you can petition to become the #1 mandatory and they almost always grant it. They just did the same thing with Flanagan.
- Crawford being announced as the WBO's #1 killed the chances of a Horn-Pacquiao rematch. Horn must face Crawford after Corcoran.
- Whyte could struggle with Helenius.
- Thought Andrade vs. Fox was a bad fight. Not entirely Andrade's fault as Fox didn't want to fight much, turns out he was injured. Still it was poor matchmaking and not the type of fight you want to showcase Andrade.
- Hearn is right and that Wilder vs. Joshua can benefit by marinating a little bit, but it doesn't need to marinate too much. A fight his time next year would mean more money.
- Can respect the fact that Mikey Garcia makes his own business decisions, but if you want fights vs. Cotto or Linares, you have to give GB options. Just how it works.
- Was angry at Tapia vs. Rosado being made. Rosado is way past it, but can still handle himself. Tapia is a very serious injury waiting to happen. His speech is worse than it was a few years ago. Sad because he has a young daughter. No promoter should allow him to fight.
- Devon Alexander is talented, but at 30 his best days are probably behind him. Still if he gets in shape, no reason he couldn't compete with the top guys at 147.
- Believes the Mares vs. LSC rematch will happen. They fought their last fights with a deal in place for a rematch.
- Best 3 atmospheres he has been at? Mayweather-Hatton, Trinidad-Joppy, and Joshua-Klitschko.
- Gilberto Ramirez vs. Eubank Jr.? That would be a pretty interesting fight.
- Mikey Garcia vs. Lomachenko? Doubts it ever happens.
- Broner will be a good name opponent for the best guys looking to step up. He will beat B level fighters, but not A level.
- Picking Joshua by either mid-round KO or decision.
- Better round: Holyfield-Cooper round 3 or Holyfield-Bowe I round 10? Holyfield-Bowe.
- Is Andre Ward top 50 PFP all time? Could be in the lower part of top 50.
- Where would Floyd rank? Top 30.
- Better career: ODH or Trinidad? ODH.
- Who is fighter of the year? Had Mikey Garcia fought and beat Cotto he probably is the frontrunner. Probably between Lomachenko (if he beats Rigo) and Joshua. Not a real strong group this year as many top fighters only fought once.
- Mikey Garcia could possibly still make a case if he unified with Easter.
- Valdez vs. Frampton? Both sides say they are interested, but have fights scheduled for early next year. Would be later next year.
- David Tua for the HOF? No.
- Kovalev should stop Shambranskiy.
- What would have happened had GGG fought Pirog when it was supposed to? Would have picked GGG by KO.

That's a decent lil card, but man I'm not trying to give Warriors Boxing any of my money. They some grade A fukk nikkas.
Dawson is my dude tho, but it might be time to call it a career. Ditto for Pascal.
