Might be premature for me to say but I think Bivol is the best Light Heavyweight right now.

He looks the part and will be very marketable. His lack of amateur experience gives me some doubt though.

Hatton while he was fighting. Same with Duran. Same with countless other fighters. There's a difference between blowing up between fights because of a bad diet vs. naturally belonging in a higher weight class. But don't let logic stop you from hating tho. Happy holidays

Saunders Will Celebrate: Sex With Prostitutes Daily, Non-Stop
By Michael Woods
WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders is quite the character. We know this, we’ve seen him in action, heard his spicy chatter over the last few years, and even seen it in action, from his blood-line.
I don't think he will be getting any less interesting as his profile grows, either, judging by this video hit posted to Fight Hype.
When asked about his holiday plans, the 28 year old, who undressed David Lemieux and mocked his manhood last Saturday night in Montreal, said, “Sex, prostitutes... Um..More sex, and more prostitutes. Every single day…nonstop.”
“Until you get into camp,” the interrogator queried, his tongue, too, presumably, planted in cheek.
“Until I get AIDS,” the 26-0 Brit boxer said.
He finished by telling all to keep eyes on him, because, he said, he will be stepping it up a notch in 2018.
Prior to that, he’d offered that he’d be willing to fight Danny Jacobs, in America, if presented with a $5 million pound purse. He acknowledged this isn’t very likely, being that his promoter, Frank Warren, and Jacobs’ promoter Eddie Hearn do business as often as America does with Russia. Er, I mean, as often America does with Mars.
Saunders will also be an interested observer, if Canelo Alvarez and IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin collide in a rematch on May 5th.
My three cents: This sort of material won’t be for everyone, especially in an age where there is much more sensitivity to this sort of joking. But Saunders is making himself a must follow, from a press perspective, because if you don’t keep tabs on him, you might miss out on a wild pronouncement or action. Your thoughts, readers; is BJ too “blue” for you? Do you share his sense of humor, or is he a bit brazen for you?

Still doesn’t change the fact that he’s been ducking 147 and has faced little competition.

Your points are consistently devoid of any logical reasoning, so I'm gonna go ahead and stop wasting my time here

You called me a “hater”, hurled petty insults at me, and tried to compare him to Duran.
Yea, you sir are a true intellect unlike myself.
My apologies

I don't think so. I'm surprised this isn't the most demanded thing on the new platform.
I'll be making a new thread for 2018 and I'll save the one poll we get for GGG-Canelo II.

Inoue is moving up to 118 for 2018. HBO would be smart to invest into Nery if he wins his rematch clean, and build up Inoue-Nery.

Well deserved. This dude is ATG material. His talent is probably second to none, but his willingness to fight anyone is refreshing.
He’s got arguably the best resume in boxing history through the first 11 fights of a career.
Funny how Gervonta/TMT wants none of it. I guess on to 135 and see if Mikey wants the biz. There isn’t anyone at 130 that has a prayer of beating Loma.

Deserved BUT...
Bud should’ve gotten it off the strength of how hard it is to clean out and unify a division despite the business of Boxing today.

It’s not hard if you have willing dance partners and/or weak champions. MW and LHW should have been unified two years ago if not for scared lineal champs.
Loma destroying Walters and Rigo was more impressive than what Bud did.

Walters was 2016.
I don't disagree with Loma getting it but a case can certainly also be made for Crawford.

I don’t know why I thought the Walters fight was January, my mistake. That certainly makes the case for Crawford more plausible. I do believe the win over undefeated double gold (even while ascending weight classes) Rigo is more impressive than becoming undisputed against a weak champ like Indongo. Fair enough though, they were clearly the two best in boxing.
It could have been GGG, but he was content going the distance with Jacobs and then let himself get robbed against Canelo by letting him stick around for the GBP judges. Some classic GGG bodywork would have gotten Canelo out of there, even if he needed to eat some counters along the way.
