Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

From what I have seen, I dont think so. But then again, yall used to say the same thing to me when I said Crawford was the future of boxing.

Crawford cant be the future when he's already older than most of his contemporaries



He'll already be 30 in September and he's not running the game now.....no disrespect

 

[Newzz]

I think the Charlo's are starting to get severely underrated because they dont look like they have the "IT" factor. I never been a fan of theirs but as long as they keep winning...what can you say. look at how many people were picking J-Rock to beat Jermall.

Jermall is better than Jermell.


No one is saying Lubin takes Jermall out right now, but Jermell? He struggled with John Jackson heavy....Lubin is going to give that boy the work

I happen to agree with @Newzz

I been saying for a minute he was the best young prospect in the game, even when both him and Spence were prospects

I wouldn't really call Lubin a prospect anymore, but of all the young fighters I put him at the top

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

man, junior can do it if motivated and in shape, but when I see pics of him like that, I have serious doubts. I just cannot put any trust in him to win when he looks so out of shape between fights. Canelo looks to be in great shape already.

Nah Jccjr is in shape breh

That pic is from right after the press conference before he entered camp with Nacho


N this is 1st day of camp with Nacho

I dont rely heavily on triangle theories, though there is basis there. Because Jermall has more KO's doesnt necessarily mean he is on another level than Jermell. Also, John Jackson when using his reach has been doing a good job of boxing. He just doesnt have 12 rounds of focus. In a few more fights maybe he kills Jermell. I'm just not giving him the advantage if that is his next fight.

he looks great there but its his living in between fights. he's definitely more Hatton than Hopkins.

Some good stuff in there

• Wilder vs Stiverne is next, unless Wilder vs Parker is signed
• Winner of Charlo/Hatley faces Erickson Lubin, then the winner of that matchup faces the winner of Vanes Martirsoyan/Ishe Smith
• Winner of Porter/Berto faces Keith Thurman next
• Winner of Crawford/TBA faces Amir Imam next
• Winner of Linares/Crolla 2 faces Mikey Garcia
• Winner of Chocalito/Rungvisai faces Carlos Cuadras next

Crawford/TBA vs Amir IMam
and
LInares/Crolla 2 vs Mikey Garcia

Big fights

All I can say is "we'll see"



Neither of us are wrong until the fight actually happens. Hopefully, it happens before August.

I said that when he was 26.

The future isnt in reference to ones age, but is relative to what the game offers at said time.

in reference to Crawford, when I said it, we were talking post-Mayweather era as "the future"

so out of the top P4P fighters, Kov, GGG, Ward, and Rigo are all 3-6 years older than Crawford, and Loma and Roman are the same age. yet, he aint the future. none of those guys are huge PPV stars. and please dont say GGG is because Kell got paid way more than he did for their fight.

Crawford not a big PPV star yet, but its going to start thinning out at the top with most of these guys passing their primes. by your definition Lubin only qualifies as the future, but he is a long ways from household recognition and PPV stardom.

what has held Crawford back has been his promoters unwillingness to feed his meal ticket to him. you dont become a PPV star without beating a former one.

I see Don King still got power

Yea, them Stiverne and Imam(who I like) mandatory spots don't make any sense

Andrade's fight is on PPV
The fact that Showtime, nor HBO wanted to air this fight
@HeruDat we gonna need a link..............#ATeam

Not really surprised they didn't pick this one up but I know Stephen Espinoza likes him. This was back in September via his promoter. Lara vs Andrade best fight at 154 too.

“He’ll knock him out, and then he’ll come back and be back on Showtime,” said Arthur Pelullo of Banner Boxing. “It’s just a start. Now he comes back to America with the title, and now we have more leverage. He’ll be the two-time junior middleweight world champion. There’s a lot of fights out there on Showtime for him.

I do my business with Stephen Espinoza. I don’t know Al Haymon outside of ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye,’” Pelullo said. “He’s not against fighting his guys with Demetrius Andrade. He’s got to make fights, too. What’s he going to do with Charlo, not fight Andrade? If he doesn’t fight him, we’ll fight somebody else. At this stage, Al Haymon has not indicated any reason not to fight Andrade through my relationship with Stephen Espinoza. On the contrary, he says he’s willing to.”

andrade fighting on ppv

i hope all these up and coming fighters, especially those out of the olympics/amateurs and has some name pick wisely who they sign with.

andrade is in his prime and shouldn't be in this struggle position where he can't get a fight on network tv.

Andrade and Rigeaux right now.

What's the time difference in Germany to US??

What time we gotta be up to see Andrade??

I'm just guessing breh it airs 9:00pm over there, probably 3EST?
