    Damn son that sucked. Ref ruling it a slip hurt. Not that he wouldn’t have lost still but the time to get his legs might have helped.

    Roger Mayweather has passed away per TMZ. One of the best trainers to ever do it in his work with Floyd.

    There’s no choice but to wait that long, but that much time in between helps Wilder.

    Offer would include money to pay Wilder a step-aside fee to allow Fury-Joshua.

    Why was it so hard to get a Wilder/Joshua fight when it seems like this Fury/Joshua fight is going to get made?

    Wilder was saying for a long time that Joshua was dodging him so it was curious to me that this was getting made.

    I’ve always assumed it was a PBC/Eddie Hearn issue. Fury being with Arum makes it easier I’d think.

    When in doubt, it’s usually a dumbass promoter issue keeping us from big fights.

    King Ry potentially the first boxer back in the ring. No Linares fight is disappointing though.

    I don't get the impression Wilder will step aside, just let his belt walk.

    I wouldn't step aside if I was Wilder. You know a Fury/Joshua fight will also have a rematch clause.

    Neither guy should step aside. Pulev is 38, he’s not getting a better shot at a guy than the one he’s signed to right now.
