Again, that wasn’t his point when he threw his tantrum.

Was a bit worried when they threw the towel in so close to Price...I mean, it could've caused a lot more damage.
Had Taylor by one round, so right man won but the judge who had it for Taylor 117-112 that's awful. Despite the big weight advantage + home advantage here, Prograis was a decent beltholder and Taylor has obvious skill. Brit pound-for-pound #1 now.

So, Canelo vs Kovalev, any thoughts?
Respect to Canelo for stepping up and fighting a very dangerous light hw, regardless of how much contaminated meat he's consuming!?!

He's catching Kovalev at the right time. It's suspicious how he climbs up through the classes so quickly but he is impressive with or without the meat.
I'd pick Canelo cause of youth and skill but Kovalev will still have his strength and could maybe keep Canelo honest. But he took GGG and Jacobs punches like they were nothing.
Crolla's last fight starting now

Awesome display from Canello. He is a legit greatest of all time now for me.

Greatest of all time?, imo definitely lost the first GGG fight and Mayweather.

Mayweather made him look stupid which isn’t anything to be ashamed off as he did with most fighters.

'a' greatest of all time as opposed to 'the' greatest.
Canelo definitely ranks high (I'd bet #1) on the top 10 pound-for-pound list currently, which many people will keep up with but I can't. Yep, GGG beat him the first time on my card. That, plus several times messing about with weight via any combos of: catchweights to his advantage (he did it enough times to far outweigh the slight such advantage Mayweather had over him), bringing opponents up from lower weights, and strong suspicions of illegal diuretic use. And just the fact of his Golden Boy cashcow status. When combining all that, I'm prepared to believe a lot about his manager, De La Hoya, and shady goings on with the judge who scored the Mayweather fight a draw, and the other judge who had him winning the first GGG fight by 10 rounds to 2.
A GOAT, as in, like top 100 of all time? That's probably fair, or at least I think he'll probably be a lock for that. However, nowhere near the GOAT, in my view - that would be someone like Ray Robinson, Ali, et al.

Indeed. But for me his legacy is always going to be tainted as I simply can't get past that in effect he's cheated

The AJ fight is £25 on box office. Just pure greed.

Is that why it's an extra fiver?
Of course he's not banned from fighting over there..
Edit: There was supposed to be a ruling a his case in October, and still no word...
