It really doesn't look good on Canelo waiting until now to give Triple G another fight. I just don't see how Triple G beats Canelo now. I mean, he took a body shot off Murata in the third rnd and you could see the grimace on his face. He even adjusted his stance to stretch the pain out. When have you seen Triple G looking like that ? As tough and as freakish as he is, those countless toe to toe wars along with the age thing are obviously going to have an adverse effect. I know Bernard Hopkins was fighting way past the 40 mark, but he didn't have to many wars and was a one off in terms of still being an elite fighter even in his forties.

Pretty much agree with all of that but the point I’m making is that even though the cards are stacked very firmly in his corner he will always want to make sure of any outside chance triple G has is nullified. He has endeavoured to do so in every encounter with the man, Waiting for him to get past what he considered was his prime, agreeing to the fight after the Jacobs performance et cetera It’s like playing craps with a loaded dice Edited April 10, 2022 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Just seen Spence put a beatdown on Ugas. Quite ironic that it got stopped the way it did. I still don't think Connor Benn is ready for the top welterweights. Not with that defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Surely gotta be Spence - Crawford next. Crawford not with top rank anymore, nothing stopping it from happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugar hurt spence at some stages in the fight which suggest crawford could hurt spence. This is a very hard fight to predict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure, IMO Whyte has a pretty good chin and Fury is not the destructive puncher he has been made out to be after the last 2 Wilder fights. Late stoppage with the volume of punches eventually wearing Whyte down or points win for Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how whytes not engaged in any pressers wuth fury. He must know that fury will get in his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I think Fury-Whyte is a good solid fight. Joshua and Usyk aren’t available and Whyte absolutely deserves his shot at a world title. Might be interesting for a few rounds but id expect Fury to beat him up down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll then have one man with the 4 belts and as is often the case, fighter will move up, can’t fulfill his mandatories and the belts become scattered again. Benn in fairness to him is probably in that crop of welterweights that are in the running to take over when Spence and Crawford move on. Along with Ennis and Ortiz. Eddie making up some bullshit excuses for Benn to not fight Avanesyan. Would do Benn good to fight Avanesyan. It’s a fight he could lose, against a puncher and he won’t blow Avanesyan away. Doing him more harm than good giving him soft touches , because he won’t know what to do when he hits a sticky patch when he jumps to world level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
