    Unify with Opetaia and get retired.

    Does he go down as the greatest of all time if he somehow beats Opetaia at 41-42?

    Do the honourable thing and give Mika the rematch, I’m sorry but there’s no way Jack won that.

    It wasn’t a great fight but long gone are the days we’ve seen Jack in those wars with Groves/Degale.

    The only value for Opetaia is the belt. It’s nothing more than a glorified sparring session.

    I don’t think Jack takes that fight. He isn’t a moron and knows that he’s badly outclassed there.

    I realize WBC doesn't rank Opetaia nor Zurdo but these belts need to be unified. So some combination of fights needs to happen: Jack vs. Zurdo vs. Opetaia. Hopefully Turki will make it happen.

    No, Jack is highly delusional, he thinks he dominated last night.

    maybe if he would have made the move to crusierweight earlier in his career i would have entertained him vs the top guys cause he got skills to carry him. But fact is hes undersized for this division and it shows. Once he faces a puncher in his prime hes in trouble, makabu was washed to begin with..

    I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Breidis both guys are of a similar age and I think it would be an entertaining fight.

    Canelo’s “daring to be great” moment in his attempt to become only the 6th and 1st Mexican 5 division champion.
