Boxing Off-Topic

I'm in that boat now. I used to see the good of them to bring mega-fights together. But Canelo using catchweights at his SOP has soured me on them completely.

I just threw that in there as a last option. The primary point I was making is that Kahn is not going down to 140 to meet Mikey. He's the "A side" while the latter is clearly the "B".

Having said that I am much more tolerant of catchweight fights when they are not chopping pounds off of title fights like Cotto and Canelo were doing at middleweight.

It goes beyond that because of Mikey's lawsuit against Top Rank that was settled last year. Garcia alluded to that recently when discussing the possibility of that fight happening.

I think Crawford is definitely looking at 147 fights next. The Kahn vs Mickey would be good because Kahn has a glass jaw it will be interesting to see if mickey's power translates to a bigger fighter

I don't think it would fully translate to welter at this time.

I agree. He definitely never hurt Bronner. I think he could hurt Kahn though. He has nothing for Crawford now.

Broner has a sound chin and was very committed to caution, so I give Garcia a pass on not stopping him. He's a loudmouth but Adrien is no scrub.

Lomachenko has been sounding off about how unimpressed he was with Mikey's victory over Broner.

Not surprised that he wouldn't be impressed after that fight.
