    Your obsession with the giant windmill is, fittingly, downright Quixotic.

    He was a good prospect, would be a huge shame if he really vanished because he was so discouraged from getting shafted his first time on a big stage.

    Bivol would shut Wilder out.

    Yes, and the central plot of the dinner theater mystery "Wassup in dat av, son?"

    Try the tiger shrimp and salt cod over penne, btw, it'll change your LIFE.

    I'm not sure it was his choice. If your promoter puts you in ice for mucking things up for the guy he likes better, what can ya really do? I think it's telling that not only did a rematch fail to take place, they just pretend like he never existed.

    I'm not sure how drunk you have to be to see Browne as the smarter long term investment. :lol:

    It appears Kovalev is targeting Smith Jr. next, so Browne is the most appealing option left on the table.

    if he can't get a fight with kovalev or beterbiev.. then marcus browne is the clear best one to fight right now.

    Bivol vs Beterbiev was a great fight that was easily made before Burba dropped his gonads and jumped networks faster than Stevenson did when the Krusher arrived.

    He is, although part of me is rooting for Kalajdzic to return and snatch that zero (his rightful property) himself in a rematch.

    I mean... Kovalev?
    HBO tried to set up Kovalev vs Stevenson and that backfired. Then it took them a year to get Kovalev in with Ward and financially it was a bust.
    And now the same with Bivol? Just make it happen.
