Lopez is another in the long line of incredibly talented boxers with a complicated personal life
Best in 2 weight divisions at 25 is nothing to be sneezed at
For his part, Taylor has been struggling with weight for years but hard to feel sorry for him after the Catterall robbery and his behaviour in the aftermath

Tim Tszyu's 1st round demolition of ranked contender Carlos Ocampo suggests he could be favourite in a unification bout with Charlo.

Dunno about favourite but definitely more than deserves his shot. 50/50 fight IMO.

The state of this division.
Ruiz and Wilder arguing about money, Dubois v Usyk not signed off just yet , Whyte and Joshua crying about rematch clauses and Fury teasing a big announcement every week. The state of this division.

Not overly surprised to find out that Charlo isn’t fighting Tszyu but Canelo is a shock
Doesn’t say much for the bigger twin or Canelo for that matter

This is such trash.
Jermell gets to duck Tszyu, Canelo gets to avoid Benevidez.
Just such garbage. **** off with the weight class cherry picking.

Usyk is starting to look kinda old and kinda tired in these press conferences. Or maybe he's just bored.
Think TH had it right when he mentioned that Usyk is on the downward slide, physically. Wish we could have got undisputed 2 years ago and let him sail off into the sunset then. Fighting all these mandatories including tough fights like the winner of Joyce/Zhang and/or Hrgovic is going to be brutal.

Difference is Floyd had already dominated multiple weight divisions and was already recognised as one of the best boxers of his era, and was coming out of retirement for a circus fight.
Fury has not.

I’m not knocking Floyd as it’s easy money for a retired fighter
Fury is following the same strategy while “champion”

I mean don't get me wrong Floyd was also a master at being strategic with his matchmaking. No one can retire without losses unless they're being very selective and using the "a side b side" crap to their advantage. Styles make fights, doesn't matter how good you are if you fight everyone you're gonna pick up a loss or two.
Fury is taking it to the next level though.

Meanwhile the WBC allows the heavyweight belt to be held hostage by Fury
