    Agree. Hardy is a unit due to genetics and because of the people he hangs with..maybe adding to what he has....
    Put him against Millar for a freak monster fight....it's a reasonable scrap to me.

    The only thing notable about Rahman is his name. if he were a no name with the same record and abilities no one would even know or care the fight happened.

    Their respective bans might be the best thing to happen to boxing in my lifetime. If they are perma bans that is.

    Is it true that Cruz took the Davis fight on short notice?

    Nauseating is the word! As if screaming and yelling is a substitute for intelligent analysis.

    Wow.

    I don't know whether I am flattered or creeped out given that I have no idea who you are, never knew you existed, and never read a single one of your posts until now, and yet you're my unofficial biographer and want me dead.

    :eek:

    It is mostly referring to Miniq. Most worthless poster on the internet. Wanting you dead is a pretty big stretch. Got any more facts you'd like to strrrrrrrretchhhh for sympathy? I actually have almost no idea who you are.

    Interesting. Just now was able to catch the first half of the fight and Cruz was doing decent work in there. Actually genuinely makes me wonder how a rematch would go with a full camp.

    Thanks for the info.

    Give props to George kambosis. He studied Duran and Chavez on how to come back from a loss more aggressively. That and Haney huggy bear swears he has no power though. I could see the adjustments in part two, switching stances, getting all hurky jurky like t fury even as blood fell down his face. Haney hugged 55 times in the first fight, 5 times in the first round for a total of 41 seconds. That's around 15 to 20% of the round if I do the math correctly. Not to mention in the second fight, the clinching continued, that and some kidney shots during the break after the ref calls a stop to the punches. Haney Is great but his style sucks the air out of the room

    Reminded me exactly of Floyd in his fight against Hatton where he threw one quick punch & quickly hugged onto him & it was the first round man haha, so funny what an art.

    This probably deserves its own thread, this is crazy.

    DAZN recorded a net loss of over s billion dollars this year. Which makes it over 6 billion overall since they started.

    That's billion with a B.

    Crazy.

    Seems like an unusally good year for boxing as far as whats on the horizon...

    Tank vs Garcia
    Plant vs Benavidez
    Fury vs Usyk
    Wilder vs Ruiz
    Inoue vs Fulton

    I'd trade all of these for Beterbiev vs Bivol, but still... nice having multiple big fights to look forward to.
