    I can't deny that at all and I have come from thinking pro boxers were god like and mma dudes weren't on their level but in reality, at this point in time, that view is dead wrong. The only clear cut win for pro boxing in these cross over events that I can recall is when Ray Mercer fought in an mma fight maybe 15 years back and ko'd Tim Sylvia. I can't think of another, Mayweather-Macgregor was an mma win for me, Mir- Pulev was a nothing result because Mir was so shot and it was boxing rules. I could be missing some I guess.

    Good Canelo might of literally killed him in the ring. He would have put a beating on him from the opening bell. Paul would be sleeping real quick in my opinion.

    For such a world class team around Jake to weigh in at 183.4 is poor, should have weighed in smack on the cut off.

    Yeah. The Triller Triad event was the final nail in its coffin for me. Pulev vs Mir was the narrative being pushed but the boxers actually lost the event against the MMA fighters under boxing rules and the margin of victory would've been even greater had they not robbed two of the MMA fighters.

    Got to agree would have been fun to watch Canelo knock him out like.

    He looked flatter and more deflated than in any of his previous weigh-ins.

    He poses and feints more than throws punches. Some people here consider his posting as "agression" lol.

    95% of boxing fans see it as a clear victory for the sport they obviously love and have a huge vested interest in not seeing the reputation of in tatters yet again

    Why don't you go and ask 100% of butchers if meat should be a staple food for humans or not?

    Picked Fury by Split Decision and was right on point. Sloppy ****. JPs footwork is horrendous. Tommy Fury isn't much better than a part time boxer but he's athletic and fast and probably came into the fight with the worse record which is some kind of an achievement considering WHO JP has fought. But he's the better boxer. Should have been an UD but i knew they gonna try to rob Fury.

    Hopefully BOTH retire soon.

    JP will switch to MMA and i can assure you that he'll get killed in there with the first real MMA fighter he faces.

    And Tommy Fury better goes back to work as a PT.
