Top Rank has reserved the Las Vegas Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium for December 19 to potentially the third fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. The 65,000-seat venue would have plenty of room for social distancing.

BJS’s attitude makes no sense to me. What could be better for his career than a win over Canelo?
I honestly think he has a screw loose. There is a lot of talent there , but he seems to want to self sabotage constantly. Maybe he feels endurance in himself because of his ‘boxer’ style, but he is getting older and his career is amounting to very little
Based off the article, I am really not excited seeing the list of potential fighters for Alvarez. Controversy follows Alvarez with his performances in/out of the ring and it often puts a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry, but I have to be honest. Oscar has carefully protected Alvarez like his retirement investment off Wall Street and only sheeple can not see it.
Thank you! I just commented similarly and then read your comment. He could have had an incredible run but instead allowed ODLH to cherry pick his fights…
AGREE 100% SCOOBY… HE SHOULD BE FIGHTING DEMETRIUS ANDRADE OR JARMALL CHARLO….. I SAY LET’S GET IT ON AND STOP THE BULLSH_T
He fought Floyd Mayweather at 22 years old and fought GGG twice and yet he’s protected?
Yes, he fought Floyd, lost, but nothing wrong with that, even trying his luck and earning good money. But from there, no proper fights. GGG was perfectly timed, he was no longer GGG as a person likes to think of him as his next fights have shown.
Pretty much mirrors my thoughts.
Watching BJS fight is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Overrated dull would be understatements.
I don’t think any of the fighters on the list for Canelo are sell out buys. But since no one will be there social distance shouldn’t be a problem.
Canelo should retire, hasn’t really fought anyone of renote, had the opportunity to fight the best and instead cherry picked his opponents….
What are on about? Was Mayweather cherry picked? Were Golovkin, Jacobs and Kovalev cherry picked? I think not.
If you did not know Kovalev was shot then you don’t know boxing.
The thing is Canelo & his management knows Canelo has such a following that even if it is an exhibition match it will be a sellout (on TV). Any bets his next ‘big’ fight will be against a very aged GGG.
Considering GGG has aged and looked rather “hit-able” in his last match, Oscar setting up that match up would be a safe bout to win and cash in on money. I had GGG winning the first bout and after that goofy decision, I lost confidence in watching much of Alvarez’s performances. Kovalev was on the down slope as well and that was KO was expected in my eyes.
The only name on the list that’s ok is Smith, Dervenchynko isn’t even at 168, Canelo isn’t going down to 160, So why not go for Plant or Benneveidez? If it’s a tune up, then don’t make such a big deal about it, let everyone see it for what it is themselves & not for $80.00. Also all the up & down is what did in Roy, pick a spot & Marinate as king for awhile.
It will NOT be Callum Smith.
John Ryder it is…
My my, Mayweather applying for a “forgivable” loan.. All the bragging about being the sports figure who makes the most money it’s as if he gets angry whenever someone signs a lucrative contract he has to force feed to the public that its chump change compared to the 300 million he made in one night bla bla bla, and now he’s applying for money? Sounds like a person who hit a huge lottery then applies for welfare. Amazing the audacity of some people… GBP are just as bad although they don’t go around bragging about making million dollar sports bets…
Take Butterbean out of retirement. He should be more attractive than the ones mentined in this lame list
To bad about Billy Joe, his pure boxers style would have caused major troublessss, ala Floyd. I think Saunders could take him, if he doesn’t get caught.
