    I'm asking you the question.

    If Canelo dislocated a shoulder and stopped fighting would he be a quitter? Would any fighter?

    The bros Charlo is the nightmare fighing style for Canelo especially in a 20ft ring

    Conduct yourself with Congressional decorum as Eubank would say.

    There's nothing wrong with retiring on the stool. I will pretty much always defend it. Same here. No shame for Saunders there.

    So, yet another boogeyman down. Tired of being wrong yet?

    Just so our cousins across the pond, who unlike us Brits and Euros don't have to sit up all night to watch the boxing over on your side of the pond, which us troopers do every week and I've been doing forever, appreciate how dedicated and what troopers we are. It's 6 am in the morning over here and I must be readying myself to hit the hay, right? Wrong! I'm about to do an hour on my exercise bike shortly. Put that in you pipe and smoke it.

    Both Eubank's can go **** themselves, and then **** each other.

    Jr can get some of Canelo if he likes, Hearn would make that in a heartbeat.


    After Plant, we will see, Jr is chasing Kell Brook at the moment but I'm sure Jr will have a pen handy afterwards.

    Bear in mind, too, that Billy Joe has spoken over the years about his fears that this defining fight would never come.

    So why not give it all he had? Or at the very least a round or two to see if he could cope with or adapt to the situation?

    You can't look a man dead in the eyes and motion to your heart before the fight, then wave a white flag at the very moment fate comes calling on you to back up that gesture.
