When Floyd and Manny retire...

[Ron Swanson]

I hope boxing heads in a better direction but before people were holding out for Manny or Floyd they were holding out for Oscar. There will always be stars that bring larger paydays, it's on fighters to demand the good fights that are available to them. This "my promoter...." excuse needs to die. I get why promoters, managers and fighters who care most about big checks like the strategy but we need guys who want fights. If guys take the good fights and win some of them the money will come and everyone is happy.

I'm still sticking with Jose Benavediz Jr. 23-0 Tall, long reach, well liked - by the powers that be.

He hasn't looked as great as I'd like and if he has gotten a gift or two decision (every Gr8 has) they get the benefit of the doubt.

I think he will grow physically and probably end up a WW.

Most important for me is the race factor (Mexico and Puerto Rico) support their fighters.
And Mexico is looking to erase the bad taste that Jcc Jr had left them.


This kid will draw big numbers- he needs a team that knows what fights to get him and when to do it. Every Gr8 fighter has won a fight or two based on timing of their foe.


Canelo as well- may have some years to shine. Demetrius Andrade has the potential to become a future star.

And Wilder has the potential to bring America back into the love of the HW division. As I've stated before a fight with Briggs would bring a lot of excitement and Wlad is approaching the downside of his career.

Boxing will do just fine without those two.

....I will be happy.

....I will be happy.

I won't.

He can go another 2 years.

Thats around 200 million.

Floyd is rich but 50million for 36 minutes each fight...just imagine if he carries on!

Andre ward is the man and the only one to take the crown as soon as floyd retires!

He can and may be great, but he wont be the cash cow.

I don't think it matters if they retire. Manny is all but gone with his dodgy arm and Floyd has been looking worse in fights anyway. There is no magic in them anymore.
