    Well Loma does not like big bangers does he as we saw when Teofimo’s power intimidated him.

    I said I find it bizarre how much you care about fighters finances. That's not an insult, it's my opinion.

    Who am I a fan of then? Obviously you love Floyd, Tank and Spence. But who am I a fan of? Since you've said I'm a fan of certain boxers but hate others.

    I have tried to explain to you that having been a boxing manager in my time and involved in the sport I feel strongly that boxers need to make as much money as possible in their careers. I don’t feel bad about this at all. I love Al Haymon because he feels the same way after he saw how boxing used and abused his brother. Al swore he would make sure boxers not promoters made most of the bread and gravy.

    And I have tried to explain to you that having been a boxing in my time I feel strongly that boxers need to make the best fights possible, which means doing what they need to do to secure a shot at the champion.

    Now answer the question, which boxers do you think I love?

    Making the best fights possible and maximising income can go together as shown by Floyd’s career. As for the boxers you love you are entitled to love those you. I love a lot of boxers not just Floyd and Spence. In fact I like 99% of boxers it’s the cheats like Margarito I cannot stand.

    Don't compare Floyd and Tank. One of them beat the best fighter in every division they competed in. The other one is still yet to face the number 1 in any division.

    You said I love some and hate others. I'm asking you who you think I love.

    Loma? I root against him almost every fight. Can't remember the last one I wanted him to win.

    Try again

    Okay I am wrong. You tell me which fighters you love. I think Loma is really good boxer in fact a great boxer but not quite as good or great as some think.

    Teo and Haney were just too big and rangey for Loma. Lil Gervonta would get SONNED.

    I ain't gon loose no sleep cause Fulton got his ass beat. I still think that he had the skills to win but he lost. So what, sue me. I am saying the same thing about Tank and Loma. Tank would knock his ass out.

    Frank Bruno, Jean Pascal, Joe Jeannette.

    They're the only 3 boxers I'm a fan of.

    I've been live to watch lots of Carl Froch and David Haye fights so I guess I have a soft spot for them also.

    I consistently pay for Joshua, Whyte and Chisora fights but I don't root for them, I just like the size of the events. When Joshua and Whyte were knocked out I was buzzing actually.

    But in today's boxing world I want the underdog to win every fight as I love a good upset.

    So you're completely off in your assessment.

    Sue you for what? Your cardboard? He had no skills to win you picked him just like you pick Tank due to one thing that doesn't mean **** in the ring.
