    Well yeah
    But that has as much to do with its promoters as the cash cow fighters.

    The cash cows learned they’re worth
    Great for them terrible for the sport.

    Berlanga is a KO waiting to happen.

    Surprised Danny Garcia is still fighting. He was really good at 140 a long time ago.

    Both Canelo, & Floyd before him, had been protected from ever losing by the Vegas judges at time ludicrous scorecards & having the State Commission turning a blind eye to their indiscretions & very suspect failed tests I guess theyve all got rich doing it too
    I watch more of the PBR these days Professional Bull Riding. Guys take on 1500 to 2000 lb bulls trying to ride them for 8 seconds. Now those guys are either the bravest or craziest
    athletes out there theres no cheating in that game
    Have a great one my friend

    Both crazy & brave
    Good news is Floyd is retired
    & canelo will soon be as well
    Most of the new guys are fighting each other
    & turki Le Sheik
    Is running the sport now ensuring that they do fight with piles of money to lure them in.

    it’s a good time to be a boxing fan my friend.

    In reality, its a more competitive fight than Crawford.

    Berlanga is a legitimate, strong SMW and not a guy who has won a title at LW.

    Berlanga is what, a top 5 SMW at worst?

    Yup. They bought out Fite.tv and hold a majority stake in the bareknuckle boxing company BKFC.

    He's arguably not even top 10, let alone top 5. I'd put the likes of Canelo, Mbilli, Munguia, Iglesias, Derevyanchenko, Sadjo, Plant, Pacheco, Scull, Shishkin, and Bazinyan in front of him personally. He's mostly fought abject bums and journeymen and the few live bodies he has fought he's needed gift decisions to scrape past. Berlanga just isn't very good, he's not a legit guy. He got dropped by Marcelo Coceres after all.
