where the Charlo hype come from? And both brothers been getting a pass for years for ducking Andrade

Haymon fighters still looking for cash out opportunities to face young champs

We should be seeing a lot more action in 147/154 right now

Loma still need to show more, GRJ is still the best he fought and I'd like to see that ran back. I seen Walters name get mentioned but he was ripe for it at the higher weight and made his name on what we now know was a badly regressed Donaire who probably went up a division too much

He's got skills but I might look nice in front of a heavy bag. Nothing he's done should have him leapfrogging a Mikey Garcia, Crawford, Ward on p4p lists

I remember this video Floyd talking to tank and stressing to move his head. Said something like a lot of fighters do all the right shit and look pretty in the dressing room but get in the ring standing still. Obvious shot at Broner in retrospect. Media ruined his career sticking him with Floyd comparisons. Broner should fight an agressive come forward fight no matter the opponent. If Broner fought and was a dog like Lamont, he'd probably be undefeated. Probably too late now but Barry Hunter would be a better trainer for him. Lastly, he should go to 135 for a couple years if he can

Sorry for the long rant...trying to get everything off, wanted to chop with the boxing fam real quick

Andrade pulled out from the charlo fight last year. I told y'all 2 years ago what would happen... all the young lions guys would have to fight each other while cotto and canelo avoided them. They got rid of j rock Andrade got ignored and ended up vacating his belt. One charlo moving up chasing glory .. anyway we not even mentioning lara ... 154 loaded and canelo made his own weight class never forget. I also told y'all then charlos beat canelo and would challenge ggg... now it's coming to fruition

[Mastery]

I wanna see yall ride the Charlo brothers after he gets exposed

Which one?

Because in my opinion, Jermall >>> Jermell.

 

[dwade206]

...captain obvious

 

[Mastery]

And R.D.... Andrade punk ass had his chance to fight Jermell but didn't budge because he wanted more money.

GBP increased his purse from $250k to $300k, which would have been a career high purse for him. This was back in December of 2013.

Andrade walked away, not Charlos fault. And guess what?

Since then, Jermell has had 10 fights. Andrade? A paltry 4 fights haha. Chump.

Jeff Horn Can't Wait To Prove Point By "Beating Pacquiao Again!"

2012 Australian Olympian Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) is very eager to get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao for a second time.

Last week, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank confirmed to BoxingScene.com that his fighter had exercised an immediate rematch clause to meet Horn in the ring before the year is out.

Last month, Horn pulled off a major upset when he secured the WBO welterweight world title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Pacquiao before a crowd of 51,000 fans at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.

The decision was deemed controversial by a lot of observers, who felt Pacquiao had done enough to win. But nobody disagrees with the fact that Pacquiao's performance was flat and his activity was lacking.

Horn wants to prove that his victory was no fluke.

"I'm happy for a rematch, especially after all the flak I received before the second scoring came out. Now it's out, I still receive people saying I didn't win. I'm willing to prove it again and beat him for the second time," Horn said to the Sydney Morning Herald.

"I'm still proving a point. I've got to make sure I train just as hard. I never say I want a knockout but it's always easier if the fight ends before the 12th round. I can improve a lot more from where I have been in the past. I think I did well in the last fight, I'll do better the second time," he said. "I've done it before, I know what I have to do to try hard and do it again. I know I can push through to more levels."

The rematch, like the first, will take place in Horn's backyard of Australia, likely on a date in November. Because of the winter weather, the rematch will have to take place indoors. The paper notes that the Queensland government has first and last rights but their entertainment centre only holds 13,000 fans. Melbourne has Etihad Stadium with a roof while Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena holds 21,000.

The Australian(Argentinian word to Tim Bradley/Black Krillin) White Hope is talking that shit...

Tim Bradley Regrets That He Never Faced Floyd Mayweather

By Radio Rahim

This past Saturday night, former two division world champion Timothy Bradley (33-2-1, 13 KOs) announced his retirement from the sport of boxing.

Bradley last fought in April of 2016, when he was dropped twice and lost a twelve round unanimous decision in his trilogy bout with Manny Pacquiao.

The tough boxer began his career in 2004 and captured world titles at junior welterweight and welterweight.

During his long career, Bradley fought a who's who of top fighters - including three bouts with Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios, Devon Alexander, Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Lamont Peterson, Ruslan Providnikov, Junior Witter, Miguel Vazquez, Jessie Vargas, Diego Chaves, and several others.

But the one fighter that Bradley regrets to have never faced in the ring is five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs).

"Money, Money May. That's the one guy that I haven't faced. That's the one guy that I haven't faced in boxing. I faced all of the rest of them through my time and my rise," Bradley said to BoxingScene.com.

Mayweather mentioned Bradley as a potential opponent on more than one occasion, but the contest never came together because Floyd refused to do any business with Bradley's promoter, Top Rank, who signed the fighter in 2011

Mayweather himself retired from boxing in September 2015. At 40 years old, he's coming back for a final ring appearance on August 26th when he faces UFC star Conor McGregor.

Bradley, at only 33 years old, felt the time was right to walk away from the sport. Bradley admits that he could have continued his career and there were some big opportunities presented to him - but he strongly felt that his health was more important than securing a few more paydays.

"You know, at the end of the day, I retired from boxing - boxing didn't retire me. I'm happy with my decision. I know fans are a little upset and may want to see me one more time. But I'm going to retire from boxing and boxing is not going to retire me. I love my kids and that's why I'm retiring. There are a lot of fights out there, still on the table. I left a lot of money on the table... tons of money on the table. Money don't buy you health and longevity," Bradley said.

 

[R.D.]

Andrade apparently never agreed to the fight but even if I'm to stand corrected on that

Name one fighter on either's resume

We still don't know enough about J Rock

154 is a big ass mess and Haymon got all the 154 players. That's retarded

Charlo ain't even come up and take on a challenger we already seen GGG in with or a contender so we could get an idea of what he could do and he's supposed to get GGG in his 2nd fight

Nigga ain't even clean 154. I fuck with Haymon but he gotta stop letting niggas cheat through. I'm all for these niggas getting paid but they raping the sport and giving nothing back

Dudes confused about how to cross over while they cheating the grind

 

[JLacey]

Honestly if Charlo can take a punch I think he beats GGG convincingly

 

[R.D.]

Maybe I can't guess what these niggas can do when they ducking wreck though

Fight Curtis Stevens, Lemeuix, Saunders...anybody we know

 

[JLacey]

Lol it was a eliminator for the title. I don't think he really controlled who he fought. He just moved up. Give him more than one fight

 

[JLacey]

Not like he ducking the fight with big names. He's trying to fight GGG and Canelo. Let that man be great

 

[R.D.]

For sure

People expecting him to actually get a shot now and acting like he's some super threat is just weird to me considering we know shit about him

I'll go out on a limb and say GGG ain't losing to a nigga with a blonde fade though

 

[R.D.]

You new niggas think it's a shortcut to greatness

lmaoo Roy fought B Hop and James Toney way before he reached his peak in popularity

 

[aneed123]

Rd Roy and Toney unified charlo wanted to unify but ca ne lo made canelo weight and cotto ignored him

 

[JLacey]

For sure

People expecting him to actually get a shot now and acting like he's some super threat is just weird to me considering we know shit about him

I'll go out on a limb and say GGG ain't losing to a nigga with a blonde fade though

So what was Spence? He hadn't fought anybody. You can't deny talent nigga. Nigga gives any of those dudes at 160 problems so why shouldn't he fight for the title. Who's been fighting for it? A bunch of nobody pretty much.

 

[JLacey]

Joshua fought nobody before he was champ. He's probably the best in the division

 

[southsil4lil]

@R.D. I thought you were retiring bruh lol
