    For Crawford It's a Matter of Substance over Style

    Horn asked for a rematch - with the stipulation that it was in Australia. Meaning he really didn't mean it fully aware it would never happen there.... Again, nobody asked to fight Crawford again, who was serious.

    For Crawford It's a Matter of Substance over Style

    Yeah...Rigondeaux got a big 400 grand fighting Lomachenko. No Ted, Crawford ruins you, Lomachenko frustrates you. I'd rather be frustrated.

    For Crawford It's a Matter of Substance over Style

    Vasyl Lomachenko, who is in the race with Crawford as boxing's top pound for pound fighter, is issued challenges routinely. In fact, Lomachenko has been challenged by fighters he's already defeated in Gary Russell and Jorge Linares. When is the last time a beaten Crawford opponent has asked for...

    A Tactical Change Paid Dividends for Canelo Alvarez vs. GGG

    GGG threw 6-body punches vs. Canelo....why? Because getting countered to the head and face bothered him...and he wasn't willing to pay the price. There's no other answer. He was a fierce body puncher in every other fight until he fought Canelo and was spooked from doing it...no coincidence.

    Wladimir Klitschko’s Astounding Comeback

    Could Usyk Be The Next Holyfield?

    He has nothing in common with Klitschko other than being from Ukraine. Usyk is the first undisputed Cruiserweight champ since Holyfield 30 years ago. And like Holyfield after unifying the Cruiserweight title - he's moving up to heavyweight. But yes, I see your point - he has more in common with...

    Could Usyk Be The Next Holyfield?

    I think Wilder's reach and unpredictability would be an issue. I'd have to favor Wilder now but who knows with a few fights under his belt maybe Usyk gets him.
  16. G

    Could Usyk Be The Next Holyfield?

    But Holyfield was 25 when he started not 31. And he has huge wins at heavyweight....Beating Joshua would only equate to one of Holyfield's for Usyk. But he made it more interesting!!

    At Least We Don’t Have To Think About Joshua vs. Wilder For A While

    Matt, I knew it was never gonna happen this year. There's room for it to become bigger than it is and then it'll happen. Sadly, AJ doesn't need to fight Wilder to make a fortune. However, Wilder needs Joshua to retire wealthy.

    Haye Must Beat Bellew To Cash Out vs. Joshua or Fury

    Factual Assessment of Marciano and Greb’s Record.

    Here's another tie-breaker for Greb over Armstrong. I don't consider Armstrong the GOAT at any weight he won a title.....126, 135 and 147....However, the only middleweight I'd pick to beat Greb is Robinson, and I'd favor Greb with the understanding Robinson could win.

    Storm....it's out right wrong having Marciano over Greb....to do it you have to be from Boston, Italian and/or don't know boxing or its history....just because there are supposed boxing guys in Ted's survey, doesn't mean they know what they're talking about....and probably 50% of them don't.

  123. G

    Does Mikey Garcia Hold All The Cards?

    No! It means I'm objective and just because I don't think Loma walks on water - I acknowledge that he's capable of beating Mikey, just not sure he will. Then again Mikey has to knock him out because Loma is the new chosen one, so Garcia couldn't get a decision short of beating him to death.
  124. G

    Does Mikey Garcia Hold All The Cards?

    Okay, Ted. I'm not gonna jump on Loma...but stop with the excuses...they can come back to bite ya. I just hope they fight. Garcia has much more than the others to trouble and beat him at 135...I just hope we find out about his chin - something that is unknown.
  125. G

    Does Mikey Garcia Hold All The Cards?

    Ya mean the 10 win once beaten Loma, right? We'll see...not sure who I like in that one but Garcia has as good a chance as Loma. He should wear a Salido mask in the ring.....wait...lemme step back so I can shield off the excuses for losing to a 13-loss fighter!

    Fast Results From Brooklyn: Wilder TKO 10 in a See-Saw Slugfest

    I've been on the Judges...Wilder didn't win a round until the 5th....as far as the A side...Not a chance...AJ will have three belts and nobody knows who Wilder is outside Alabama and DiBella's household.......that said Wilder gained my respect, he's no fraud.

    Fast Results From Brooklyn: Wilder TKO 10 in a See-Saw Slugfest

    He was fortunate....and all three judges having him up? He won three rounds at the most! However, like Joshua did against Klitschko, Wilder showed he has a massive heart and his right hand is a fight altering punch. I still say Joshua gets him within five but Wilder's showing versus Ortiz makes...

    Why Would Wilder Fight Ortiz Now if the Risk Was Real?

    Look at the buzz Wilder has created.... Joshua vs. Wilder will be even bigger than Lewis-Tyson because Mike was only a big name and personality in 2002. AJ & Deonaty are both in their prime.

    Why Would Wilder Fight Ortiz Now if the Risk Was Real?

    Hope you're right but I don't trust the process in which it was made......but if Wilder wins and it is on the up and up he should get credit.

    Yep....he controls both and needs to recap the money he's invested getting Wilder this far.

    True......I just wish I could get on board with those who think he's a monster. I see nothing but a big right hand and awkwardness which I know is a weapon.

    Why Would Wilder Fight Ortiz Now if the Risk Was Real?

    I think he is capable of beating Ortiz.....Ortiz hasn't looked good for two years. But yes, if he wins and it's on the up and up he should get credit. I've gone more email than I have recently from this article with guys split...saying it's a bag job or Wilder hits harder than I give him credit for.

    If I had a say, Ambrose or whatever his name is would never write about boxing again for my entity. That's the problem, everybody with a PC or Laptop can write for a site.

  149. G

    Rungvisai-Estrada: An Outstanding Fight Marred by Another Awful Scorecard

    I have no idea, Jeff. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he has a bias towards aggressive fighters and got a little carried away? And if he admitted that instead of trying to justify 9-rounds for Rungviasi, it would bother me but it would be a little easier to accept opposed to him...
  150. G

    Rungvisai-Estrada: An Outstanding Fight Marred by Another Awful Scorecard

    Morrow screwed it big time!!!......115-113, 115-114 Rungviasi or 114-114. But Rungviasi won no more than 7-rounds. Nobody that knows what they're watching can see 9 rounds for Rungvisai...it is Impossible unless you're inept or have an agenda....or a bias towards aggressive fighters as I stated.
  151. G

    Rungvisai-Estrada: An Outstanding Fight Marred by Another Awful Scorecard

    Rungvisai-Estrada: An Outstanding Fight Marred by Another Awful Scorecard

    The Puerto Rican and Hispanic fans back their fighters. I was pulling for Alexander due to all that he's been through - but I can be objective. Devon won but the only I guess is hurt is his record because he'll move on with another TV fight most likely but neither are a title threat.o

    Danny Garcia Is Back and Spence and Crawford Are Blocking His Path

    I think Crawford-Spence is the fight I most wanna see. I used to favor Crawford but I'm a lot shakier on that pick than I was before I saw Spence dominate Lamont Peterson who was completely out-gunned.
  167. G

    Danny Garcia Is Back and Spence and Crawford Are Blocking His Path

    I agree Crawford is not as good defensively as Ward, Mayweather or Lomachenko - but that's like saying Sugar Ray Leonard wasn't either. Crawford takes more chance looking to put hurt on his opponents more than they did. I believe you've boxed some so you know when you fight like that you're more...
  168. G

    Crawford is controlled by Arum....he has to fight Horn to get the title.

    I like Ruiz too....better and more successful than remembered for being. Tough guy and won some big fights. I was at the Rahman fight.
  180. G

    I Dug Deeper into Bob Foster’s Long Title Run and Wish That I Hadn’t

    Ted...I know but I was only comparing at 175....as for Brady....It's impossible to say anyone was better.....but I think others have played QB as good but they lack his playoff success and that's the tiebreaker with me.
  181. G

    I Dug Deeper into Bob Foster’s Long Title Run and Wish That I Hadn’t

    They'd have been great, obviously. But I didn't go back further than 1950 or I would've had Ezzard Charles above them both too.
  182. G

    Prograis Benefits Fighting Indongo Instead of Postol

    I haven't seen the Russian.....and I agree there's a great case Indongo doesn't recover from what Crawford did to him.
  183. G

    I Dug Deeper into Bob Foster’s Long Title Run and Wish That I Hadn’t

    Foster's power wasn't overrated...one of the best at 175. IMO he could never beat Ruiz because he's not nearly strong enough and doesn't have the legs or feet to beat him boxing or fighting off his back foot....But he'd match up great with Jones at 175.
  184. G

    I Dug Deeper into Bob Foster’s Long Title Run and Wish That I Hadn’t

    IMO Spinks is underrated and Foster is slightly overrated.

    No Deontay, You Wouldn't Have Kicked the Hell Out of Vintage Tyson

    Good point...I agree fighters need to be colorful. I also think he was tweaking Tyson because Mike said AJ is the future of the division. That's said Wilder's resume is very thin. Not totally his fault, I get that.
  186. G

    No Deontay, You Wouldn't Have Kicked the Hell Out of Vintage Tyson

    I could see him beating those guys with the exception of Joshua and could see him losing to most of them too.....but saying he'd kick the hell outta Tyson doesn't fly.

    At least he's working on his footwork and poor balance...
  189. G

    Yeah....AJ sees the almost certain win and a ton of money....not saying Wilder is a bum but compared to a great like Tyson, well, that's not a substantive debate.

    I think he sounds foolish because he has the worst resume of any title holder ten years in fighting as a pro. And he's been bailed out by lottery shots a few times. I like his confidence but Tyson 18-months into his career was fighting a better grade of fighter consistently more so than Wilder...

  196. G

    Roy Jones Jr. Says He Was Better Than Mayweather….and Roy's Right!

    Foster lost to every heavyweight he fought.....and Moore never fought a 221 pound heavyweight on Ruiz's level. But I'll cede Moore....so I think the Jones win over Ruiz isn't overrated. Calling him heavyweight champ...that's another issue because Lewis was the best at that time....and Roy...
