    Like with your other thread
    Obviously. But it's just not likely.

    a suggestion for you Marky Mark. I'd recommend from here on out sitting down for a few and thinking about the thread you're going to make before posting it.

    What’s wrong with this thread?
    It’s a breath of fresh air from the usual GGG/Canelo/Spence talks...

    ^^^ This. In the lower weight where the talent can be thin, sure. Learn as you go.

    I don't think Sean O'Grady had any amateur fights.

    Trey Lippe doesn't have any either

    He wants another world title fight at 130 or 135, was hoping to fight in December but his eye was pretty messed up in his last fight so might not fight again until next year
