how does rosado keep getting these type of fights?
That's the good thing about being a gatekeeper and recognizable name, you keep getting fights even if you're losing them.

Granados got $250k to fight in a main event, non-title fight and like you said, even if he lost, his stock/buzz has only raised due to his performance
Fighting Crawford in the main event, for the Championship, should at LEAST get him $350-$450k imo....which is what Diaz should've been offered as well.
We were all talking about how washed Cotto was before the opportunity for him to face Canelo popped up.....and you were saying Cotto fighting at MW was a class he didn't want to compete at, so obviously he would be small then right?
Miguls career up to the point he fought Floyd is irrelevant. Since that fight, is what we should be discussing.. All He's managed to do was get beat up by Troutand beat a cripple at the garden in a weight class he doesn't even really want to compete at

Like I said...
NOBODY was saying Cotto was "TOO SMALL" until AFTER he fought and lost Canelo at 155..
Find that post
Why do you keep challenging me breh?
cotto a legend but he too small and too old for canelo.
And all that took was about 2 minutes to find breh........I don't have time to go in any further, just picked the 1st 5 that popped up for me. Looks like "nobody" is at least 4 different posters

You got me there but thats just 1 person saying he was too small for Canelo so you win.... Never said Cotto was a middleweight obviously he too small for 160 which is why he never fought there.. and thats all the others you quoted outside of SOG were saying

Canelo didn't even come close to dropping Cotto.. He simply outboxed him...
But Cotto was too small I guess thats why he lost

Nah, Cotto lost because he's washed and no longer prime.....and Canelo was prime and in peak form. I don't think the size was a problem in that fight for Cotto, just he wasn't good enough to beat Canelo.

Dirrell, Groves, DeGale, Stevenson...
If Jack pulls this off and only collects one draw (which most people thought he won) only then that's a nice as fukk resume.
I got to like Badou Jack over the last couple of years and I will root for him in lhw against anyone not named Ward (I'd root to Ward there) or Beterbiev (I wouldn't root for or against any of them there).

I agree 100% with this entire post.
Badou Jack should be TMTs prized possession along with Tank. I'm surprised Money May didn't have him them in NOLA for the ASW ..definitely would've gotten them some nice pub/marketing amongst the casuals.
