Lomachenko already looks small at 135. I would still like to see the fight tho.

I see that Barry is not happy and may start legal proceedings.

Tell me something new ! If he never ripped them off all the time, they wouldn’t keep leaving him ,would they ?

Not necessarily, fighters can want to move on because it will secure bigger fights and higher pay days.

Many fighters do it and many managers sue. It has happened in boxing before.

Stop picking on Barry.

Not as many as your fucking Barry! Every single fighter he loses. No smoke without fire mate.

Top Rank with some major recent signings

I hearing that Jarrel Miller might sign with Top Rank as well.

Barry seems to be going down the same road when he fell out with his promoter Eastwood.
Only now the shoe is on the other foot ! Frampton first now Taylor what's Barry doing I wonder he's had the fighters but lacks the money of Hearn Warren and Top Rank to really get the money Taylor wants.!

well this is all part of my theory. McGuigan got shafted by Eastwood, and will never forget it.
And he’s still bitter about it now. So he decides, “Fuck it, now I’m gonna be the cunt. Why should I be the nice guy, it gets you nowhere.”

Been thinking. What are the chances we get Ramirez unification and Arum looks to aim Taylor at Crawford? If he wins of course. Keep thinking Crawford really is in desperate need of super fight and bringing in Taylor really does add Top Rank momentum either way.

Taylor is listed as 2 inches taller than Crawford . That floors me.

I think that’s exactly the plan. The winner of Taylor and Ramirez will be no doubt a top 10 p4p fighter. Then it gives Crawford a legitimate opponent to beat. And even if Crawford loses, the other fighter takes Crawford’s spot.

Most likely Crawford Spence happens before Crawford Taylor. That way if Spence wins Crawford has a route back to the top of the pound for pound list and whatever fights that brings by beating Taylor. Or maybe Arum just finds a way not to make the Spence fight and keeps everything in house for a change.

[Kirkland Laing]

And McGuigan is just a small operator. He's good at finding champions for what is basically a one man band but can't compete with the big promoters when it comes to making big fights, guaranteeing them so many fights with big purses and so on. He's in court with Frampton soon to sort out their dispute if I remember correctly. I have a feeling he'll win too unless he's done some obviously crooked stuff but if that had been the case he'd be under investigation for it surely.

Yep I think your right.🙂

It's great to have the anticipation of big fights resulting directly from big fights. Put's some pressure on Arum too and no excuses with all being under the same roof. The Spence return is huge and tell much. Ramirez really has come into his own and has proven a class act.
