He prolly don't even know who that is.

Remember you replying to a nikka that said Winky was average.

I know who Julian Jackson is. And I never said winky was average, I said that he was basic and tito losing to him shows how overrated tito was which is true. Benitiez in his prime would never lose every single round to such a basic fighter.

I got few questions, what y'all think about these:

Does boxing have a momentum right now compared to the last 5 years or no? It seems like the first half of this year is/will be especially good and good matchups being made more often than in the past years.

What do you think is the worthiest title of all if there's any? I think if there's any it's either the IBF because of its consistency or the WBC because of their historical place ad because they started to pull major moves like the VADA agreement and the rumors about they unify their title with the WBA.

What do you think is the best division now? 130, 147, 154 and 175 imo as far as the number of talent goes, I don't know the order between them. 126 ain't that far behind either. But I don't really follow under 122 so... as far as how much the elite fights each other cruiser is one of the bests too.

Yeah I think the momentum is going better imo. The heavyweight picture has been revived and there are question marks with Fury's absence. Cruiserweight is still competitive although I feel Usyk is the best but there are hard fights for him there before he moves up to heavyweight. Lightheavyweight division is deep With the likes of Ward, Kov Stevenson Beterbeast etc. Welterweight division had top fighters that were circling each other that are on a collision course. 154 is a skirmish for the crown that canelo will leave once he moves up.

Strongest division is probably welterweight imo and will be deeper when Crawford moves up. 126 and 154 is up there though and I feel like Flyweight is pretty competitive. I think estrada may think of moving up there.

154 is the best division. I can't tell belts from one another. They all just a sanctioning fee.

Broner Explains Why Mayweather Didn't Attend Granados Fight


By Keith Idec

Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn’t attend Adrien Broner’s fight Saturday night, but he did give his friend valuable advice.

Broner spoke to Mayweather by phone before he left for Xavier University’s Cintas Center in Cincinnati on Saturday night. They went over a game plan for Broner’s 10-round welterweight fight against Adrian Granados, a grueling battle Broner won by split decision.

Though Mayweather wasn’t ringside for the Broner-Granados fight, Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) credited his mentor for improving his strategy for facing Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs).

“I’m gonna let a secret out,” Broner said during a post-fight press conference early Sunday morning. “Before I came over here, I was talking to Floyd. And he called me, and he was like – because he didn’t come today. His plane had a complication and it woulda been bad if he went in the air. So God bless that he stayed where he at. And he was just like, ‘AB, this guy, he wants to get his shots off, so get yours off and wrap up.’

“And then we was just talking, just talking. We was talking about a game plan. And then he was like, ‘You know what, man?’ Well, he say to everybody, he say that he don’t watch fighters. But I know he watch me, just like I watch him. And he was like, ‘You know what, man?’ You’ve got a hell of an uppercut. You need to use that mother****er more.’ Today he just put something in my mind. And fighting today, you know, it worked. So I wanna thank him, too.”

Mayweather is believed to have remained in New Orleans on Saturday night, where he has been attending the NBA’s All-Star weekend.

Mayweather was scheduled to host an event Saturday night at Harrah’s New Orleans, which took place inside that casino at the same time the Broner-Granados fight was going on. The party, organized by Larry Morrow Events, was promoted as a birthday celebration for Mayweather, who’ll turn 40 on Friday.



The retired superstar’s company partnered with Broner’s About Billions Promotions to promote Saturday’s card. Broner has credited Mayweather with helping him through a very difficult time in October, when Broner frightened family members and friends with Instagram posts that indicated he was considering committing suicide.

@reservoirdogs

I want to say boxing has momentum, but it's always up and down. We have good years followed by bad ones. But I think we're trending upwards right now. All the fights we want made are being made for the most part. We'll see how it turns out.

I think the WBC, mainly due to its prestige. Although they can be very corrupt, they haven't really been on their bullshyt recently. Which is why I like the IBF, as they are straight by the book. You won't get much from them in terms of fukkery. The WBA is a distant 3rd, although it seems they've finally realized they have way too many belts and are trying to solve that problem. Which is a step in the right direction. I'm not even gonna touch on the WBO.

If we're talking strictly talent, it's 154. 147 is not far behind, but they're more top heavy while 154 has more depth. 175 up there too, you can argue them ahead of 147 actually.
