hey titofan should we ridicule badou jack for fighting the unknown belt holder? or does badou get a pass because he's almost forty? one thing i did find funny about canelo's cruiserweight talk was how quickly don king got on his bike & made ilunga's mandatory
Badou Jack gets a pass cause #1 he's a cruiser himself... and #2 because Badou Jack toils in relative obscurity. Few casuals and even some of us diehard boxing fans really know all that much about Badou Jack.
Incredible that at 91, King is still around and making noises about boxing. Anyway... it's hilarious to hear him talk and call himself a "Mejicano." Hell... he's always been willing to do and say whatever it takes to keep the wheels greased. He talks about the possibility of Canelo-Ilunga at around the 4-minute mark. What a hoot.
so just to clarify, a fighter has to have fought at the weight in question to get a title shot & has to be relatively obscure to earn a pass from you? yea don king saw dollar signs when team canelo came into the conversation. it's a good topic for a thread, when has a fighter had so much influence to manipulate the sport? david b v caleb could be one, canelo was saying these other guys should fight each other, kind of forced that fight
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
