    The thing to remember is that, even though his team has taken steps to protect him, they never actually let him in on it. It's easy for a team to feed a fighter reasons for fights not coming off.

    As a result, his confidence is and has been sky-high. He's also smarter than people give him credit for- he boxed a very smart fight vs Stiverne, and that's the Wilder we'll see next. Ortiz didn't much look the killer vs Scott, although, to be fair, Malik Scott is nearly impossible to look good against.

    Joe did a podcast with Briggs and that's why he believes in the "Lets go champ!" hype.
    But McGregor vs Malignaggi would sell.

    SOB Ward is a cheat, go to youtube for proof...............SOS would be even better name, Son of Satan.............take a look at all the cheating that SOB has done. Always his venue, judges, referee, boxing commission, lost to Kovalev and then hit Kovalev three times to the testicles in a row! Paulie kept saying he had never seen anything like it, he thought that Weeks was going to take points away from Ward, instead Weeks called it a knockout! Kovalev is undefeated and SOB has lost two fights for sure.............

    More like all access, it consists of 3 parts, 2 before the fight and 1 after the fight.

    nothing major here, just wanted to say that Ive been pleasently suprised at my regained interest in the sport this last quarter of 2017. To be quite honest I was the most distant Ive ever been with the sport these last few months.... something happened this year, with all the old guard retiring or on the verge of retiring, the AJ Wlad fight being so great it almost left me cold to other fights (weird I know), the corruption and politics adding yet another layer of my bitterness towards the sports, ect, ect.... I honestly probably would have been done as a 'hardcore' fan (if one would even call me that) if it wasnt for the prediction league and the fact I already follow a dozen boxing outlets on youtube and social media that kinda keep me plugged in through no effort of my own.

    but for some reason, I am actually digging this AJ vs Wilder buildup and hopefully potential fight. I am digging these tournaments at supermiddle and cruiser (two divisions I normally dont care for) and have developed an interest in a few current fighters careers I didnt really think I would get. And I can honestly say I am really looking forward to what 2018 has to offer

    - AJ/Wilder?
    - Groves vs Eubank
    - See how middleweight continues to develop in 2018 (3G, Canelo, Charlo, Saunders, Lemieux, Jacobs... people talk crap about it but I really like this division and cant wait to see it develop more)
    - The cruiserweight tournament. I honestly think this tournament could be better than the super six with the quality of its participants. Winning this tournament is a huge achievement and I love these matchups.
    - See how welterweight continues to develop in 2018.... many many good fights there to be made. Awesome division. I hope TR doesnt hold Crawford back from achieving the legacy he should have by not letting him fight the other guys (Thurman, Porter, Garcia, ect)

    ect, ect, ect.

    anyways... im digging it.

    I randomly wanted to list some of my favorite *matchups of all time. Fights I was most excited for. Regardless if they lived up to the hype or not, just what I personally have been the most pumped for.

    I will have to change this a few times Im sure, as fights come to me, but off the top of my head

    - Hoya vs Vargas
    - Lewis vs Vitali
    - Cotto vs Judah
    - Matthysse vs Garcia
    - AJ vs Wlad
    - Wlad vs Haye
    - Margarito vs Cotto
    - Ward vs Kova 1
    - Golovkin vs Canelo
    - Golovkin vs Lemieux
    - Mayweather vs Ortiz


    Bizarre list... I know.


    I know Im forgetting a ton.


    random post, but thats why I have this thread :lol: Just wanted to compile a list for my own recollection.

    Should I buy tickets to Matthysse vs Kiram or that Feather weight triple threat in February?
    Those Matthysse tickets are cheap.
