Spence and Crawford will be there waiting at the end.

    What’s naive is to pretend anyone is asking everyone to fight the best NEXT. Name 1 fight in boxing that is scheduled, hell I’ll be generous and add what has happened so far this year, where the number 1 guy fought or is fighting the number 2. It doesn’t happen, so nobody is demanding the best fight the best always. The sport loses ground every day in America because Thurman has hid from Spence for years, because hiding in plain sight is so common. Because if that hiding and his opponents hiding is mentioned, boxing fans are so broken that they say it is naive to want best vs the best. UFC has no issues finding opponents, they must have such a deep pool, no wait it’s not 1/100th of boxing’s. If the best do fight the best the excitement for the next guy grows, then the next. Fight the best SOMETIMES.

    It wasn’t that long ago it happened in boxing, FFS Pacquiao did it, this era can too. Don’t be broken by the nonsense.

    You must dislike the WBSS. For that matter, you must dislike any type of playoff bracket in sports. Why bother, right? Just pick the consensus #1 and #2 and to hell with the rest. We save on games... we save on time... we save on drama. Hey... we would ALL like Crawford-Spence on a weekly basis. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Huge fights need to be....... "worked up to". Strange concept, I know... but it's what playoffs are based on. There's only one #1 and only one #2 in any division (save the alphabet complications). Don't know about you... but it's ok by me if #1 fights #4 while #2 fights #3, on the way to having #1 against #2 (if nothing goes awry in the process).

    Thurman? Yeah... he's a ducker. But not everyone who doesn't IMMEDIATELY attempt Mt. Everest while eschewing all other peaks is a ducker. UFC is a shitty example. Remember, they're the relative new kid on the block to boxing... and they can't afford to be farting around with #3's and #4's. They need to sell and they need to sell now.

    Pacquiao? Yeah... he did it alright. That's why he's a bonafide ATG. No qualms on that.

    Difference here is... I prefer the traditional working your way to the top. You obviously prefer start at the top and pick up the chips from there. Meh..... different strokes and all that.
    You really changed what I said to make your point. So much that it doesn’t look like you are speaking to me. Again, you say I expect EVERY fight to be top guy vs top guy. I ask you to name 1 this year, just 1. Instead of acknowledging that not 1 time has that happened in all of boxing in all of this year you switch to how I don’t like tournaments. Sure, it’s nonsense but if you put words in my mouth I’m wrong right? Is this really Primo?

    I love tournaments because they get to the answers sometimes. I just want some of the answers sometimes. But that’s too much to ask right? I eagerly await your next switch

    You are one ornery dude. Forgive the delay in reply, but it had been about since 3 weeks since I wrote you. Maybe you should @mention me if you want a quick response.

    Anyway, I believe our friend Baal gave you two, and I'll add two more. Kovalev-Alvarez 2, and Hurd-Williams. If not #1 vs #2, surely enough quality in there to satisfy your ornery, "I want it now" needs.

    Bent out of shape 'cause I mentioned tournaments? It's my way of saying that boxing is indeed trying to come around and force pitting the best against the best. My point is we can't have that every week, but of course you'll twist that around also.

    You aren’t very perceptive if you think I’m ornery. I love how you jump right into making things up though. I get it, I called you out about how you want to steal rights from disadvantaged minorities and you recognized what you said was disgusting. So you’ve been after me ever since. It’s okay, I’ll take your assault if you learn. Well worth it.

    Neither of those fights was 1-2 but it’s okay that what you say again isn’t true. The point is valid even if the details are not true.

    I don’t have to twist your words, your posts are twisted. I’ll give you credit though, you’re really trying to be right about something you are so clearly wrong about. Boxing is not getting better. It loses ground every single day. I love the sport. I’ve competed in the sport. I work within the sport to this day in a very minor capacity. But I can be honest about it. 30 years ago boxing was king and the UFC was “human cockfighting”. UFC(and I don’t like MMA) has taken over by giving the people what they want. Boxing still tries to tell people what they want. And they’re wrong, and you’re wrong. The best could fight the best sometimes. No 5 year wait. Just fight. Sometimes. It used to happen, when boxing was king

    Ok first of all, this is the boxing board if you hadn't noticed. Try to keep it as such if you don't mind. Nobody here knows WTF you're on about, so I suggest you stow it or take it to the other boards.

    Nit-picky as well as ornery. You must be a blast at parties. Hey, if you want to split hairs and say they weren't 1-2, fine. I'll have a trophy engraved for you. Happy? The general point was you wanted top fighters fighting each other and those are prime examples. If that doesn't make you happy, then cool.

    Other than the normal verbal sewage you normally spew, I'll give you a news flash Einstein. I'm not disagreeing with you on the "Boxing is not getting better" part. All I did was give boxing a little credit on stuff like the WBSS tournaments, which I tentatively bring up because I realize that causes your ulcer to flare up. So you're basically fighting alone, which isn't surprising because you'd probably try to punch out your own shadow if you could.

    "30 years ago boxing was king and the UFC was human cockfighting"? No shit, Sherlock. Anybody here who's not a teenager knows that to be true. Personally I've never been an MMA fan (whatever name is cool with me, I still don't care much for it), but then again...... anyone here with more than two brain cells knows that UFC has gained ground whereas boxing has lost it. Know what, Angry One? The rest of the post is nothing I disagree with either. Boxing (promoters) DOES try and tell people what they want. We HAVE had 5 year waits and more (Floyd vs Pac being the poster child of that one).

    So back to my main point, so you can go back to fighting with yourself. There ARE fights between top fighters on occasion. They tend to happen more at the lower weights where people (casuals) don't focus so much attention on. Are they always 1-2? (This being your fixation at the moment). No, sport. Sometimes they're 1-3. Oh NO!!!!! The shame! Someone as intelligent as you must know that rankings are subjective anyway, so who the f*ck cares whether the opponent is #2 or #3. All we want are the top fights, like you yourself say when you're not barking incomprehensibly.

    Listen, go back to fighting with Primo about whether Joshua is ducking Wilder or not. That should keep you busy for several dozen pages.

    Ok first of all, this is the boxing board if you hadn't noticed. Try to keep it as such if you don't mind. Nobody here knows WTF you're on about, so I suggest you stow it or take it to the other boards.

    Nit-picky as well as ornery. You must be a blast at parties. Hey, if you want to split hairs and say they weren't 1-2, fine. I'll have a trophy engraved for you. Happy? The general point was you wanted top fighters fighting each other and those are prime examples. If that doesn't make you happy, then cool.

Boxing is not getting better. It loses ground every single day. I love the sport. I’ve competed in the sport. I work within the sport to this day in a very minor capacity. But I can be honest about it. 30 years ago boxing was king and the UFC was “human cockfighting”. UFC(and I don’t like MMA) has taken over by giving the people what they want. Boxing still tries to tell people what they want. And they’re wrong, and you’re wrong. The best could fight the best sometimes. No 5 year wait. Just fight. Sometimes. It used to happen, when boxing was king

    Other than the normal verbal sewage you normally spew, I'll give you a news flash Einstein. I'm not disagreeing with you on the "Boxing is not getting better" part. All I did was give boxing a little credit on stuff like the WBSS tournaments, which I tentatively bring up because I realize that causes your ulcer to flare up. So you're basically fighting alone, which isn't surprising because you'd probably try to punch out your own shadow if you could.

    "30 years ago boxing was king and the UFC was human cockfighting"? No shit, Sherlock. Anybody here who's not a teenager knows that to be true. Personally I've never been an MMA fan (whatever name is cool with me, I still don't care much for it), but then again...... anyone here with more than two brain cells knows that UFC has gained ground whereas boxing has lost it. Know what, Angry One? The rest of the post is nothing I disagree with either. Boxing (promoters) DOES try and tell people what they want. We HAVE had 5 year waits and more (Floyd vs Pac being the poster child of that one).

    So back to my main point, so you can go back to fighting with yourself. There ARE fights between top fighters on occasion. They tend to happen more at the lower weights where people (casuals) don't focus so much attention on. Are they always 1-2? (This being your fixation at the moment). No, sport. Sometimes they're 1-3. Oh NO!!!!! The shame! Someone as intelligent as you must know that rankings are subjective anyway, so who the f*ck cares whether the opponent is #2 or #3. All we want are the top fights, like you yourself say when you're not barking incomprehensibly.

    Listen, go back to fighting with Primo about whether Joshua is ducking Wilder or not. That should keep you busy for several dozen pages.
    Pointing out when you say things that aren’t true doesn’t make me nit picky and ornery, it makes me honest and accurate






    I always keep my promises.
    Haha. You argue with me and insult me when you agree with me. But it’s me that’s ornery. It’s like bizarro world. For the record I don’t think you are ornery. I don’t even think you wish to take rights from oppressed minorities as you claimed. I think people say things sometimes and when they stop to think about them they recognize their mistake. They just can’t admit it on the internet. Except me, I’m the only one wrong on the internet right? LOL I think you know we agree 98 times out of 100, we’ve been on multiple sites together long enough.

    Have a good one man. Best wishes.

    I believe pacquaio can do this. Thurman is vulnerable n ripe for the picking. I could be wrong tho n he’s still very good n tough to beat.

    I have heard on radio that Manny is so confident of winning this contest that he has lined up Khan later in the year.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Manny's all about legacy now. Not that I think he needs to prove much else. He has as an impressive resume as anyone in boxing. But fighting top fighters at the age of 40? In the welterweight division?? That's pretty much unheard of. Assuming Pac gets by Thurman and signs to fight Khan.... what then? Will Father Time come crashing down making up for lost time? Interesting to see how the twilight of Manny's career pans out.

    Think that'd be terrible if Manny beats Thurman then goes with Khan. I'd actually have to tune out on that one. Didn't Thurman bet 10k on getting the 1-2 round KO himself? Perfect scenario to run into something bad for a guy who has hardly looked like a "One Time" ko phenomenon. I just really cannot see Thurman matching confidence-composure..real learned confidence..with Manny. This card though, have to say for a ppv it's pretty strong for good potential scraps.

    Worst case scenario is Manny beats Thurman... then goes for Khan just when Father Time lowers the boom. Khan beats a 41-year old faded star and then crows "See?? Told y'all Floyd was always too scared to fight me!"

    That would give Khan ammunition for another decade or so of whining.
