Message: [QUOTE="JAXCUSE, post: 4547600, member: 516"] Monster and Fulton is signed and scheduled (April I think) at 122. On paper, really intriguing fight. I think Fury-Usyk get’s made this year. Rest of the lineup - not optimistic…. I think Canelo goes after Bivol again by year’s end (that’s why Beterbiev unification pushed to next year - too bad). Don’t think Saul cares much about the current crop of Super Middles (Benevidez, Plant - matched later this Spring) or the Charlo’s. In a way, I kinda agree (eye test aside). None of the current crop of 160-168 have beaten anyone elite. Or even demonstrate a willingness to fight each other (until now). An aside, might get Charlo-Tszyu later this summer. Maybe GGG-Andrade (if the Kazak doesn’t retire). TR shucked Berlanga from their stable, so maybe he signs with DAZN or PBC (if they want him). Promotional monopolies (PBC and DAZN) haven’t shown willingness to match outside their respective tents at these categories yet. I think PBC is avoiding Crawford at 147 (want too many future options if Terrance wins), so Haymon is matching Spence with Thurman in April at 156. He can then match winner with younger Charlo and retain contractural control of winner. Freezing Crawford out…. I’m no insider, but heard Crawford was negotiating with Golden Boy now (Oscar). Could get an Ortiz or Ennis if he does. Bottom Line - no Crawford-Spence this year (IMO). Too bad. I think legacies are tarnished already. They are both getting old (trilogy improbable). If they do ever meet, it’s already approaching Pac-Mayweather “past due date” territory. Network/promotional monopolies are killing the sport right now. Assuming Haney get’s by Loma this Spring (interesting fight), I think Bob is angling to line up Stevenson with the winner. TR contractually holds allot of the talent and all the belts at 135 (Haney, Stevenson, Loma, Lopez, youngster Keyshawn Davis). All Tank (PBC) really had left was Garcia (big name opposition). And I think Garcia is the one who really made the fight (gave up allot in the negotiation). Davis needs to beat Ryan or he risks being ”frozen out” of the Division (promotionally). I like Bam Rodriguez vs Estrada or Choclatito at Fly…. Young vs old. In sum, think there will be some good matchups this year. But “Superfights” not so sure…. [/QUOTE]
