    Would've loved to see him and Crawford but he's just too big and on his way up.

    Yeah, it's weird that on paper some fights look possible, but in reality it'd be kind of a joke. Loma is a superhuman bboxer, but he'd be moving up to fight dudes at 140 who struggle to cut 15 pounds to get there. f--- that.

    Even still he'd probably beat most of them.

    True. Crawford would cook him though. I'd like to see Loma fight Jorge Linares. Dude can box and it's another step up.

    Yeah I saw this yesterday. I really want the McGregor fight to happen just for the sheer fuckey of the build up.


    As far as actual boxing goes I'm thrilled that Spence might get a fight with Brook.

    Looks like it will be Brook vs Khan in the summer & the winner to fight Spence.

    I thought Floyd nailed it when he said he was a different fighter after the Gatti fight after that fight it was the beginning of the Money Mayweather era.

    I think McGregor has been disrespectful saying he will beat Mayweather in a boxing match. But someone needs to get them to do a press conference or a face off interview asap.

    hoping Chunky does the business in Brooklyn.

    Mayweather needs to give Pacman a rematch and they both need to retire. Nobody wants to see Pacman v Jeff Horn and Floyd v UFC fighters.

    I have Thurman winning over Garcia. One Time is too clever for Danny.

    Currently no 140 or 147 pounder beats Manny. Spence and Crawford could beat him in a couple of years. But Manny just come back from surgery to beat prime Bradley and Vargas, easily.

    Disagree with almost everything you just said @GOLOVKING

    Crawford would annihilate Pac btw.

    It'd send him into retirement much like Pac and De LA Hoya but much, much worse. I also think Spence would wash Pacqiao too

    No doubt. Then again, that dude apparently believes Pac's story about his shoulder being injured, so there's no use arguing.

    Yeah, that match up has been talked about a lot this week. It's a sideshow. Should've happened in like 2012. Will make a lot of pesos though.

    Tonight's Showtime card was fire. Gervonta Davis officially the next Mayweather comparison. Jack and DeGale went to war. Upset a--- beating lower on the card. Highly recommend it.

    Spence Jr. versus Brook and Garcia versus Thurman should be going down this year. Big news for the welterweight division. Who you got? @Flacko @Poohdini @Mike Tyson @M Solo @GOLOVKING

    idk who's going to win that, but garcia v thurman is going to be an amazing matchup

    i'ma pick thurman just cause he's a knockout artist with a slight reach advantage, but that isn't based on much.

    garcia the favourite for that fight tho

    I think Spence-Brook is the higher caliber fight, and Spence will be moving to SMW or MW soon. Brook might hang around for Khan a bit longer regardless of the outcome, but he'll have to move up eventuall. I think Brook shot himself in the foot by not having acclimated himself to higher levels of competition. Brook hasn't yet either, but he's doing it earlier and has the momentum behind him to keep climbing. He could very well be the next US superstar.

    Garcia-Thurman is a fight that I have no clue on. Rooting for Garcia. He's the face of Philly boxing and Thurman his so d--- dry on commentary. Feel like both should have made this fight earlier tbh.
