    Inoue and Usyk moving up and winning championships is just a biased opinion?

    WTF you mean hypocritical fans like myself?? I don't favor these for ANYONE. Even those I root for. That's the difference between us. You are a fanboy. Do you even understand how the word 'hypocritical' works?? Obviously not...

    Any lower level boxer will agree to the stipulations from a cash cow. Simply because they are getting paid more.

    Just what it sounds like.

    I don't think Jack has it in him to "come to lose". Jack will give everything he's got but he is not the same fighter he was 7 or 8 years ago. Looks like a cherry pick to me.

    It's certainly not going over my head. You are making the dubious argument that a belt is worth more than the caliber of opponent. Canelo/Jack will bomb on PPV because nobody wants to see it. There's very little legacy to be gained against a weak opponent, belt or no belt.

    By contrast, Canelo/Benavidez should do good box office and is a test for Canelo to stave off a young lion - not unlike when Mayweather fought him! And no, Canelo did not become overrated overnight because Floyd beat him easily. It depends what Benavidez would do after that, but we *know* he's a much more formidable opponent than Jack. Hopefully it's just talk.

    Now you're veering into PPV buys? My point is definitely going over your head.

    Let's try a different approach. How many 5 div champs are there in boxing history?

    Yes, PPV buys tend to reflect the magnitude of the fight. Not perfectly, but it's certainly an indicator and especially for a very well known fighter.

    You are placing too much emphasis on the belts. Remember, both the number of belts and divisions have proliferated since the earlier days in the sport. Adrien Broner has won belts in multiple classes - do you care? It's the opponent that matters, not the belts.

    It's only hypocritical if I am for it with other, but not with this one. Not the case dude. Sorry to burst your bubble there.

    The point is going WAAY over his head. But I suppose Cyclon believes Broner to be a HOF due to 4 divisions holding a belt. Must be the same for Robert Guerrero, another 4 division champ.

    Cyclon knows we're right. He's just being stubborn about this and won't back down.
