We'll see. He showed good power at 140. I wouldn't totally discount his ability to check that chin at 147.
First, he has a lot more to lose against guys like that. He loses to Spence - no big deal. He loses to Khan? Kind of a disaster. Second, anything...
No. More like, I want a super-fight worthy of PPV. But Loma is off the table. How about Spence?
Only thing is, Spence is no defensive wizard. And Garcia is a sharp-shooter.
It makes perfect sense if you consider the reasons he won't make the other fights and realize those reasons don't apply when it comes to Spence....
Anyone think of comparable matchups from the past? Was thinking Mayweather/JMM but that was even less compelling imo, give that JMM was a career...
Degale got that bogus draw against Jack and probably figured he could stink out another.
Wonder why wild at heart was not discussed in the interview.
Guy is not stable. Also, hasn't he had financial trouble despite all his earnings?

Adaptation was good.
Raising Arizona/Wild at Heart era Cage was great. And even Leaving Las Vegas. But beyond that, he's been crappy imo.
DeGale was the one holding and not fighting. Was a pathetic display by him.
Shouldn't the guy who won the first fight get more than parity? You're acting like the offer is generous.
Landed more doesn't mean shit. It was a close fight. Some judges had it like 119-110, which is bullshit.
Failure to launch. In fact, he went through a money-grab phase of rom-coms.
Tom Cruise is certainly a good example.
Pre-divorce Juanma?
Fans are getting less and less. What passes for a main event these days is barely a PPV undercard in the past. Nothing but showcases and hype. And...
Fucking Arum
By fighting a dangerous opponent. Plus, the number of opponents within his promotional outfit worthy of PPV is likely small.
Your understanding is naive and half-baked.
Now that you've edited your post, it is clear you do not understand the topic.
Yeah. I think that's right. I think any other interpretation is intellectually dishonest.
I seriously doubt that's what he meant.
In addition to undefeated fighters tending to be more confident and less willing to lose, there is also the fact they are more valuable quantities...
I think it would depend on the fighter. Everything affects everything. So we can't be sure you know.
Agreed. But it depends on the extent of the advantage. An advantage of a few inches will of course not be as reliable as more dramatic differences.
Opponent selection Ability to cut weight Height Willingness/Inclination to hold Hand-speed Popularity Punching power Undefeatedness Chin...
Of course there are individual effects at play. But are there also broader effects that play a general role? There's certainly patterns in the way...
Separate names with a comma.
