I'm still figuring it out what he saw on Ryan because personally, I'd pick Davis over Ryan. I may be wrong about this but I guess we will see once they share a ring.
Maybe he was challenge by Ryan Garcia and he likes to shut him up. Ryan could attract a good number of crowd as well, so in terms of revenue, there's still a chance that they will make a profitable fight. Actually, it doesn't matter if he start with Ryan Garcia, because if he beat him, he can have Davis next in line. That may be the case and possible scenario, but I seriously think that Garcia and Davis fight is almost inevitable because both boxers are contesting to reach Haney, Ryan cannot go to Haney directly that is why he is teasing Davis because that is his key to have a fight with the undisputed champion, Devin Haney and I sincerely hope that this fight will happen soon. |

Currently, Kai Sotto's skills aren't enough to take him to the NBA and that may be the reason why he haven't got drafted recently. He got the height and advantage compared to the other players who are seeking NBA but he need to do more so that he will rise above others. Kai is now groomed up and his teammates even help him achieve his dreams. But Victor is different, teams in the league are already drooling to get him. Let's see who will be the lucky team soon.
Apparently, Kai Sotto is not really rushing he said that he will pursue his dreams even more, and will not get carried away with an easy option of getting into the NBA, but for me apparently, his offense is NBA-ready in terms of his height and movability, but of his defense, I think he has lapses that need to be fixed, his height is one of the advantages that he has, but his defense is still lacking I think he is ready in terms of offense but there is a big no for his defense, it is just one of the lapses I have seen in Kai Sotto, I guess he just said that he's not rushing at all because he wasn't drafted but we know that he is already hoping to be a part of the NBA, things happen for a reason and clearly, it is not yet his time. He has the height advantage but that won't do nothing if he can't guard the center as he's still so thin, he needs to use this time to buff a bit so that he won't be cracked when someone wants to posterize him or get past him. |

This time it's against Paul Butler, it's no use thinking that he will win because that won't happen even if Inoue is feeling bad or ill in the day of their fight. I know Inoue is not that kind of boxer who underestimates his foe but it's too clear that Butler won't stand a chance especially if we are talking about withstanding punches, he can't survive that.
The level of confidence from the fans of Inoue is very high, well, we cannot blame the fans because Butler won't be a champion if Casimero was not stripped with his belt, so now, he is getting all the kind of underestimation, and hopefully he will see that as a challenge and will try to prove that we are wrong. That might be an expensive mistake that will cost Butler another defeat if he will try to prove that he can give Inoue a good fight that will last longer than 7 or 8 rounds, a 3rd defeat in fact because I can already imagine that he will lose by a way of KO or TKO as a decision is not that likely to happen especially in this fight where Inoue is looking forward to give a message to the boxers in the next weight class. |

Does exhibition or such close-to-a-professional fight even gets any kind of testing? I mean what for? This is not a real fight, but more an entertainment event. For spectators, it does not matter if one of the fighters use steroid; they would even accept steroids usage, because that will make fight more challenging, exciting, entertaining. People dont go to see this (or buy PPV) to find out who is stronger or better boxer. They are there to see how "ma boy is doing".
I searched a little bit about exhibition matches and what rules applied to them. So I found in this one article - What is an exhibition fight in boxing? https://lawofthefist.com/what-is-an-exhibition-fight-in-boxing/ You can also see the 6 interesting rules of the boxing match between Mayweather and Logan Paul- https://www.sportstiger.com/news/no-judges-check-out-6-interesting-rules-of-floyd-mayweather-vs-logan-paul-exhibition-boxing-match From the above rules, you can really conclude that they are not worth betting as mostly they won't proclaim the official winner. Most of the time, they ruled it as a draw. So yes, whatever they do to their body won't really matter at all. Because it is seen as just pure entertainment and fun, and possibly helping a charity organization, they are more relax with the rules and vary from one match to another. I hope you guys are referring a different bout and didn't forgot that this fight is not an exhibition match because I think this is Silva's 3rd professional fight in boxing with a 2-0 record, he defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz. But as you guys said above, it's no use betting in these kind of fights too because there is a big chance that it will just end up with a draw. Also, Silva said that he is looking forward that he will fight Jake Paul in a kickboxing match next. Is this already included in their contract? |

Moneywise, Bivol would try to make Canelo activate the rematch clause if he wins against Zurdo. And it is also dangerous for Bivol to pursue a unification fight with Beterbiev because he is probably the underdog despite the 3-belt champ's age. And Canelo will never be interested to fight a beltless Bivol. But these fighters from the former Soviet Union are more glory hunters and money only comes second. Beterbiev and Bivol's team might want them to fight Canelo and Yarde respectively for money purposes but we heard these 2 champions during interviews on who they want. Both Beterbiev and Bivol said they want to face each other because they want to become undisputed.
I don't see Bob Arum protecting Beterbiev to face Bivol here knowing his fighter is the A side and probably the slight favorite but only due to Beterbiev's age. Beterbiev is a beast, he would've re-arranged Canelo's face and body if they were the ones fighting. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe Beterbiev is the last one to knockdown and hurt our current heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. And we know Usyk is another legend in the making. Bivol and Beterbiev need to fight each other if they want to enter the Hall of Fame. But DAZN and Matchroom should allow Bob Arum and ESPN to promote and televise the fight to turn this into a reality. As you said, Bivol is not prioritizing Canelo and he won't be if he will come out successful in his fight against Zurdo Ramirez as a fight against Canelo is just a pure money fight with no glory to make. He already proved his talent against the undisputed boxer and upsets Canelo, that said, a rematch from Canelo's camp is the least of things he thinks of. Canelo have two choices if Bivol turns out to be the winner in his upcoming fight, first is that he has to wait because chances are high that Bivol will pursue Beterbiev first and second is to forget having a rematch because there's also a high chance that he will have the same result. And there's no roadblock for an undisputed fight in LHW because Bob Arum openly said that he will allow Beterbiev to fight after his title defense. That's right. If Bivol prioritized money, he could've accepted Canelo's offer to let the rematch happen at super-middleweight instead of light-heavyweight. Bivol could've agreed since he is a small light-heavyweight anyway. Bivol could've asked for more money guarantees. Canelo still has a rematch clause but at light-heavyweight. I believe Canelo loves challenges too especially since he is nearing his mid-30s soon. Maybe he can tell Hearn and DAZN to let Bivol fight Beterbiev at Top Rank and ESPN. Then he fights the winner. Bivol seriously knows his boundaries even if he knows that his chances against Canelo are high in SMW and he knows that going after Canelo again won't help him achieve what he wanted in the first place, unfortunately for Canelo, he just became a stepping stone for Bivol to gain more experience and add him to his pretty record. Canelo still has a rematch clause but at light-heavyweight. I believe Canelo loves challenges too especially since he is nearing his mid-30s soon. Maybe he can tell Hearn and DAZN to let Bivol fight Beterbiev at Top Rank and ESPN. Then he fights the winner. Canelo fighting for undisputed title in light-heavyweight? There's a chance but he got to be that lucky if he can have that chance because there are others in the said division who are lined up already. Also, Beterbiev might be hailed as undisputed here and Canelo will fight him? Doesn't make sense because he'll just add another defeat in his record. He can't even defeat Bivol and he is thinking that he can crack Artur Beterbiev? Surely, that's a suicide and might be the first time seeing Canelo sleeping in the canvass. |

^^ Many are looking for this kid and there are reports that scouts are present in the game and they are satisfied seeing Victor Wembanyama, and telling that he is a hybrid of KD and Rudy Gobert? And so they are very happy to watch him so it's going to be a dogfight if he even goes to the NBA.
As for Kai, he is also good but still very raw talent that needs to be developed.
This guy will likely be hired in the NBA soon, as for Kai, he has the height but he is not exceptional yet, I guess he needs more training and of course, needs more improvement to be very competitive. Kai is a versatile big man, however, he must live up to the competition as for now, he is not yet worthy to be in the NBA, maybe if he will gain more minutes in his current team and could tally great stats, that would give him a better chance. Currently, Kai Sotto's skills aren't enough to take him to the NBA and that may be the reason why he haven't got drafted recently. He got the height and advantage compared to the other players who are seeking NBA but he need to do more so that he will rise above others. Kai is now groomed up and his teammates even help him achieve his dreams. But Victor is different, teams in the league are already drooling to get him. Let's see who will be the lucky team soon. |

Very interesting that Haney told the media that is favoring Ryan Garcia over Tank Davis if ever they will face each other in the ring. “I don’t know. Right now, I’m favoring Ryan Garcia but Tank obviously has that one-punch knockout power. But Ryan does too. Ryan’s much bigger, Ryan’s faster but Tank got way more experience than him. I think that's a good ass fight.” https://www.boxingscene.com/devin-haney-favors-ryan-garcia-over-gervonta-davis--169423I don't know what his basis is that he chose Ryan Garcia over Gervonta Davis. We never know unless these two named boxers will share a ring together but for me, I'll go with Davis. Both of them had the speed and power to KO any opponent, the difference between them is just that Ryan got the heigh and reach advantage while Davis got the experience. I think we will see this fight soon enough because their names keep on popping in the social media and Ryan is always calling for Davis. Yes, maybe Haney see something in Ryan that he thinks we can overwhelm him. So I will give respect Haney for his opinion, he is the champion of this division and in the future he can either face both Ryan and Davis and perhaps has a game plan already. He doesn't have the power compare to the 2, but he had good boxing IQ and defense. So it's going to be a good fight. And chances are he will win this rematch and up Loma in his table next. So let the 2 beat each other, Ryan and Tank and winner fights Haney vs Loma winner, that will be the perfect scenario. We may have our different take on this one but we cannot really discard what Haney said about Ryan that made him pick on his side because he is not just a natural boxer but he is the current and youngest undisputed boxer in lightweight division, so that really means something. I'm still figuring it out what he saw on Ryan because personally, I'd pick Davis over Ryan. I may be wrong about this but I guess we will see once they share a ring. |

And the second thing is your luck. If you have a good luck than you can earn more and more. Otherwise will loss everything.
How do we know we will have good luck in gambling? I don't know if someone should have the good luck to deserve playing in gambling. I only know that gambling is for people who have good self-control. Nobody can answer that because, yes, luck is always a factor but the challenge is we don't know when will it go in our favor, in that case, we should not rely on that factor because waiting for it will just cause losses along the way. Just like what you said, it's much better to learn to how to control yourself so that greed won't take over and have that proper mindset to know your boundaries. |

I probably won't bet this fight because I have no idea who will win.
Yes, so the best thing to do is not to bet on this fight. Anderson Silva is clearly the better and more established fighter, but he's old... Jake has age and likely supplements on his side, so for me this is a risky fight for Anderson Silva while also being one hell of a payday. I can see why he didn't want to turn this fight down. Win or lose I suspect it'll be the last time he enters the ring.
But if you look at it, Silva has a good fighting stance and I would say a good boxer and he has the experience to beat Jake Paul but the age difference though. Personally, I'd like to see Jake get knocked out and I'd hate to see Anderson Silva get knocked out, so I probably have too much emotion on the line to add money to it. I'll watch the fight though and hope for the best. Old man power better be on display.
Who wouldn't like to see him at least touching the canvass for the first time if I'm not mistaken. But it will be a big task for Anderson, but he will have to test the chin of Jake Paul and see how strong it is. That is a sight that I also love to see but we know that it's not that simple and as you guys are discussing above, it's much better to enjoy and watch the fight rather than betting on it because I doubt that there's a winner here. Silva is much adored and respected by Jake Paul so that is a sign and Jake Paul won't agree to lose because he is also building his career. That said, we might see a draw here, although that is just an speculation but I think that will happen. |

I do know about the problems Casimero is having above and outside the ring which caused him to be striped off his title and allowed Butler to have this chance against Inoue, however this is not the problem of Inoue, Inoue can only fight against opponents that will definitely show up the day of the fight and with the right weight, and right now this seems to be beyond the capabilities of Casimero, so he has lost at the moment his opportunity to face Inoue.
He lost the opportunity because he has no belt anymore, that time when he was still a champion, Inoue did not accept his challenge despite Casimero was already trashtalking him, so as a fan, I feel we got rob to witness a great fight which I think is gonna happen. But that ain't the reason, we didn't get robbed because the sanctioning bodies doesn't have a choice because Casimero did a mistake that is against the rules, and that man in his camp who took the video is quite dumb enough and became more dumb because he posted that video without knowing that what they're doing is prohibited. Also, I have a feeling that Casimero might climb the next division in the same time that Inoue will climb, so that they will have a debut together and fight each other. |

Brooklyn Nets starting to look like a fun team to watch again.
The first five are Irving, Durant, Claxton, Simmons, and Harris. I am just glad to see them all back and healthy again. Harris is feeling it who made 2 threes in 15 minutes.
Simmons defensive help can be seen and Irving being a playmaker will be a game changer for them.
The 2nd team looks solid too with Patty Mills, Edwards, Morris, Royce O'Neale, and Sumner. Seth Curry didn't play yet.
A win for the 76ers without Harden and Embiid. Their roleplayers are pretty solid too.
I'm glad that we are finally seeing a healthy and complete Brooklyn Nets in the opening season. I am not a fan of Kyrie and Simmons anymore but I love this season to be more competitive, I want all the teams to possibly compete well so I like what I am seeing with the Nets. Kyrie should understand that the world doesn't revolve around him. The Nets would be a serious contender if they can set all their egos aside and work on their chemistry. I want to see KD's remaining NBA years fruitful even if doesn't mean a title rather than staying in a mediocre team. There's still a big question though, can they be consistent until the end of this season? We both know that they are capable of destroying any team that is on their way, but we also know that the Nets weakness is also their own players. The big three is a threat to any team in the league if they will work as a team. Nonetheless, it's been good seeing them again playing together as team. I just hope that they will be consistent so that we can see an interesting season this time. As long as they are healthy, I'm pretty sure they'll be consistent. I hope that they already build good chemistry as that is the most important thing for this team to work. Durant, Irving, and Simmons, these are superstars, so it's just normal that we have a high expectation on this team. Being healthy is the least thing that the franchise needs to worry, their own big three is already a ticking bomb that could blow off anytime and that's the thing they are worried about. We don't know, there could be a simple quarrel in the team that will lead KD to call a trade or Simmons to be selfish again. All three of them have their own history, I sure do hope that they will play together without problems. |

If ever Bivol wins this fight, I do not think that his priority is Canelo. I think Bivol is eyeing title fights so possibly Artur Beterbiev.
No way, challenging Beterbiev is just make Bivol career will end since Beterbiev might become the winner. So it doesn't make sense for Canelo challenging Bivol anymore, there's no belt on their fight. Bivol vs Beterbiev will become a big match since both of them are the only have belts on light heavyweight division, rematch may possible to happen too. I don't see many good boxers on light heavyweight division. We never knew until these two great boxers Bivol (if ever he wins against Ramirez) and Beterbiev face each other in the ring. I greatly agree this would be a huge match if ever the deal between the two camps is sealed. But of course, Bivol need to face Ramirez first and Ramirez promised to beat Bivol and bring back the title to his country. Bivol will have a good chance to win this fight in my opinion. And if he does, his manager will look at what fight is best for him financially. And it seems that it will be Canelo, in my opinion. The unification fight with Beterbiev may have to wait, yes they are the two best boxers of the division, and they need to face each other. But Arum will protect Beterbiev and so he will let him face Canelo to be soften up. And if my memory serves me right. Beterbiev is injured. Moneywise, Bivol would try to make Canelo activate the rematch clause if he wins against Zurdo. And it is also dangerous for Bivol to pursue a unification fight with Beterbiev because he is probably the underdog despite the 3-belt champ's age. And Canelo will never be interested to fight a beltless Bivol. But these fighters from the former Soviet Union are more glory hunters and money only comes second.

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.
The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high. He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown. After reaching the NBA Finals, we are expecting that they will start stronger this season but I'm afraid that is not the case for them this season because as we know, the Boston Celtics now are so fed up with many incidents that have happened lately. Not just in the coaching staff but including the players as well that played a vital role last season. Danilo Gallinaro - Injured (expected to miss the whole season) Robert Williams III - Injured (expected to miss the first two months of the season) Ime Udoka - Suspended for the whole season I get it that Boston has had an up and down offseason especially lately but I don't think it effects them that much. Danilo was t even on the finals team last year so he would have given them a boost but they made it there without them. Robert Williams has pretty much always been hurt and been in and out of the lineup so long as he can get back after the new year they will be fine especially with the pickup of Griffen lately. And yeah the coach got it. We don't know what we don't know, the coaching staff might end up being better off without him time will tell. I’m not a fan that much of Blake Griffin anymore but having him in the roster will surely give a boost especially during clutch time since Boston trio usually play so long that makes them exhausted during the last quarter of the game. Griffin experience might help them to win on late quarters which is there known weakness on there fight against GSW. I’m sure that they will be alright on regular season even with known missing coach and players since there key players is still available to play. There's a reason why they signed Blake Griffin and that's because they are quite handicap right now because two of their players who had a vital role last season is now injured, namely Gallinaro and Robert Williams. The Celtics signed Griffin for that fact, he may not lead the team but he can fill those roles in the meantime. The biggest challenge for the team right now is if Mazzulla can really guide and lead the team. |

keep that in mind you know when the government shut down the entire Globe, we had a worse Cascade back up this time around than back in March 2020 and that's because we had lending platforms go down we had Celsius Luna, we had the dollar reaching par essentially for the year from the Euro and so many other crazy data points that it was kind of like a giant Black Swan that we had you know what I mean so people are expecting to go down to 10000 now 16 000 and I I've told people to listen this is what I think I could be wrong but I've been right so far that I think we have bottomed but you know we still have those stragglers out there that are saying we're gonna head down after this, you know the Market's going to bring everything down but it hasn't broken down it's taken away it's walked away from just being in lockstep with the broader stock the great market.
Okay, let us say that the government shut down Globe but never I think this could happen to Crypto. In fact, many countries are banning crypto already but many also legalized this one. It means that whatever we have experienced today is just a usual market fluctuation and not only it happens to crypto but all in some investment platforms. If we can recall the previous bear season, it was even worse than today but look, we even go far after than making another ATH. |

And most probably, Freeman will be disadvantageous and be tired if the case will go for a couple of years from now. There are two things I have in mind, first is he purposedly asked a humungous compensation because he knew that the court and Stake will get the amount lowered or the second which is not the amount, he is just aiming to damage the Stake's reputation to lose clients.
LOL.. I don't think that the last sentence is true. Stake's reputation can't be damaged or the client base won't be impacted as a result of these frivolous lawsuits. Freeman is sore because his former business partners managed to build a successful venture without his involvement and now he wants a cut from their pie. According to Freeman, the other two used a mix of "a mix of bullying and unlawful tactics" to kick him out of the new venture. These are very serious allegations. But doesn't make any sense when presented with zero proof to support the claims. I might be wrong too but when it comes to business, it's almost undeniable that issues aren't good for the company's image because that can totally affect your customer too especially when they know that there's a lawsuit that was filed by a former partner. So, of course most clients will always prefer other business that doesn't have any issues, it's not like that they need to know or interested what's going on. Probably, you'll think and say that none of these statements are true because you didn't experience to have your own business that's why you can't relate. Again, I might be wrong too  |

You can ask OP to make a poll on this particular fight, for sure it will be a very close race and I'm not certain who will win although we already have an idea on the betting odds of this fight. Well, both are champions, since Spence is also very confident, then maybe betting on himself will probably give him more money.
I think most people here are looking forward to Terence Crawford winning the match because they think Spence Jr. is a coward and this fight should happen a long time now, not realizing that it's not actually Spence should they blame why this match takes too long to become official. Although moving forward, we should not bring up the past as this fight is now closer to happening compared to before when it was just a plan. We will only know that if there's a poll, I notice that most of us here are rooting for Crawford but there are voters that are not participating in the discussion, so that poll is really important for us to know the heart of the majority. Spence Jr is a coward? maybe, but he is still undefeated, in fact, he has more belts than Crawford and he just wants to dictate the fight negotiation. I'm not sure if this fight is gonna happen, but if not, we know who's to blame I guess.  Including me, I have no doubt that Crawford have the higher hand here compared to Spence and he's likely going to win. Crawford is fearless and doesn't really care that much whom he will face next, as long as you're in the way or you're a belt holder, sooner or later you will have your chance to fight Crawford because he's aiming for legacy and not for money fights. Although this time around, Crawford is demanding or asking the opposite camp to be transparent and that may be the reason why the fight has been delayed to December or January. |

On the contrary, I think the Jordan Clarkson will get traded the soonest and I was hoping that he will go the Lakers again and play with Bron. I don't care which team but I would love to see Jordan Clarkson traded to any teams that are capable of reaching the playoffs. I don't want him to stay in a rebuilding team and waste his prime years. Clarkson with the Lakers will be good for the team and his career too. He can be a perfect alternative when Bron and AD take their rest. He can even play in the first five to confuse the opposing team's defense. Schroder, Clarkson, Bron, and AD together in the court would be offensively deadly. True, Clarkson's talent will be wasted if he will still remain and play for the Utah Jazz or to guide the younger ones, He's just not suitable for it. There's a rumor that Bucks and Grizzlies are interested to get him but up until now there's no news on the nearest possibility, he will be so useful if he can play for Bucks or Grizzlies. But for Lakers? They are already stacked especially in point guards and I don't see that the Lakers has something to give for the Jazz in-exchange for Clarkson. I'm sure that the Lakers aren't ready to give up their future picks for the time being. I think he'd be wasted on Memphis, they are loaded right now. He would absolutely be perfect out on the Bucks. He can play his 6th man role and would be complimentary to what they are doing out there. The issue would be what the Bucks would have to give up for Clarkson. Yes, the Bucks would be a good team for Clarkson and taking his talents there won't be a waste as he can be useful whether if he'll play for the starting five or from the bench. I mean, he already proved it plenty times already that's why the Bucks now is very eager to get Clarkson, but the problem is that the Jazz is not interested in carrying George Hill's contract and it's not yet sure if the Bucks can find a 3rd team to get involved. |

Every boxer can improve, and what we see on Inoue is that he is a special fighter, he has the skills and the gift because he is a heavy hitter, and that's something not all boxers have. A style of Mayweather can beat Inoue, but Butler does not have the same style, so he is expected to lose.
If both Mayweather and Inoue are on the same generation, I think Inoue might beat Mayweather since he's not actually a heavy hitter, but he can punch multiple times in short. Mayweather also doesn't have an iron chin, he ever fallen down and Inoue is a KO artist here. But we're just talking a thing that impossible to happen lol. Well the fight is still around 3 months, not sure what Butler and his coach doing until the fight happen. I know Butler will going very hard and strict training, but I think it still doesn't enough. But knowing Mayweather, he would do everything to just avoid a fight against Inoue and keep his record clean if they are on the same generation but sooner or later, the fight will happen as he can't avoid it forever because the promoter will hold him in the neck because it's a money fight. In short, we might see Mayweather kissing the canvass. But that won't happen because they are in different timeline  Back to the fight, even if Butler can have a year long head start, it's still not enough to defeat the monster. Inoue is way too strong and clever for Butler. You cant say that it would be outmatched considering that Mayweather wont really be reaching out that position or fame if he wasnt that great.Yes, lots had been criticizing on how he fights but the basic concept of boxing is to hit and not being hit which he had just basically been following that but in overall it did end up on bad impression with that kind of fighting style which do almost involved running and evading.Yes, its effective and he's the solid proof that it could be done and reaching out those numbers and ending up on having no loss.Wondering if Inoue could hit up solid on him, yes its true that we cant really make comparison considering that its a generation difference. Speaking about butler then this is something that our common sense would tell us that he wont easily beat up the monster. I'm not discounting his skills inside the ring, yes, it's true that evading is also important skills that a boxer must learn and Mayweather managed to master the Philly Shell for that same reason. But frankly, I don't really think that Mayweather in his prime could literally beat Pacquiao and Inoue in their respective primes without doing some evading outside the ring. Mayweather was criticized by many and there's a reason for that, people won't blindly criticize him without some basis, he can boast his record in which he managed to retire undefeated but there's only a handful of people who literally believes in him. Fans have different outlook towards what they see to their favorite fighter and there are some people give huge value to the record what Mayweather get. Although some doubt about his legacy but still its undeniable that he retire as undefeated. Maybe he cannot defeat a prime Pacquiao or Inoue but still he's smart actions what made him put on his current situation and get the best record so far in his career. Couldn't argue about that, Mayweather is truly a clever boxer because he managed to retire being an undefeated and fact is there's only a handful of boxer who retire undefeated. When it comes to mindset, Mayweather is intelligent enough to pick his fights but when it comes to strong and great boxers, I'm afraid that Mayweather is not in my list. |
