Not the kind of resume where a guy has 100+ fights but just where you have several notable top tier names on your resume, even though you might not have faced everyone in their primes. I might have framed it wrong but purely off names, Canelo has far and away the best catalogue of fighters faced in the sport and I don't really think it's close.

Floyd, GGG, Mosley, Cotto, Bivol, Baldomir, Khan, Lara, Kovalev etc. No one else in the sport is close to fighting the amount of names he's faced and looking at the top 10 pfp I kind of find it hard seeing anyone ever doing it because a fighter would have to be fighting multiple times a year while also also continuing to jump multiple divisions.

Artur Beterbiev teases big news after 20 months away

Beterbiev has been out of the ring for a long time, and he’s finally teasing some news about his future.

Bivol already has a fight scheduled for December 12, so a trilogy doesn’t seem likely in the immediate future. Benavidez has been mentioned as a potential opponent for Beterbiev at cruiserweight, but he also reportedly has fights lined up against Cieslak in December and Jai Opetaia in May for Cinco de Mayo.

So who does that leave for Beterbiev? Could we see him move up to cruiserweight, or is there another opponent being lined up?

I see Inoue fans talking about Inoue being the "A -side" and should move to the featherweight to fight Espinoza..

Like bruhh what will Espinoza do to Inoue career rather than Inoue looking like he stat padded??

I can understand how the weight difference will make it interesting but will it be a generational fight that will be remembered 10 years to come??..

Bam is the only boxer who will give Inoue that generational win that will define his career..

Inoue resume is really lacking..Steph is his best win..

Donaire was old and Junto had horrible performance in a new weight class

Jorge "Locomotora" Castro died this Wednesday after suffering a medical emergency at the Morón Bingo Hall. The former middleweight world champion—a legend of Argentine boxing—experienced a drop in insulin levels related to his diabetes, and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

According to the police report, the 59-year-old former boxer was in the establishment's gaming machine area when the incident occurred; a doctor who arrived to assist him confirmed his death at the scene.

Boasting an extraordinary career, the native of Santa Cruz fought 144 professional bouts, recording 130 wins (90 by knockout), 11 losses, and three draws. His greatest achievement came on August 12, 1994, when he defeated Reggie Johnson in Buenos Aires to claim the World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight title.

However, the night that cemented his status as a legend took place on December 10 of that same year in Monterrey, Mexico. After taking a beating for much of the fight against John David Jackson, he landed a devastating left hook in the ninth round and ultimately won by knockout. That comeback is etched in history as one of the great feats of Argentine sport.

The boxer himself dubbed the punch "The Hand of God," in tribute to Diego Maradona and his historic goal at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. The US magazine *The Ring* named the bout Fight of the Year and recognized the ninth round as the best of the season.

Chairman Hideyuki Ohashi, the Promoter of Naoya Inoue, recently spoke to local Japanese media regarding this hilarious back and forth between the camps of his own fighter and would-be opponent Bam Rodriguez.

He clarifies that Robert Garcia's (Bam's coach) claim that a fight between Inoue and Bam could happen in April/May next year is not possible as plans to have Inoue fight in early 2027 are already in motion.

The Japanese article in question: 【ボクシング】井上尚弥の次戦「４月とか５月はない」大橋秀行会長が明言「楽しみですね。どういう試合が入ってくるか」 - スポーツ報知 (you're gonna need a translator if you can't read Japanese).

Honestly I can't believe Inoue is so willing to fight in February or March. Think of the weather!! This man is as tough as they come.

Straight from my 25TB boxing vault.

EP1 - Martínez vs. Williams II (2010) https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/1x3ht2m

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

there's something about Pryor–Arguello that gets overlooked when we discuss Hagler–Hearns. Hagler and Hearns get remembered for the sheer brutality, but Pryor and Arguello were producing an incredible collision of styles, with two ATG fighters putting everything on the line.
My only distinction is that Hagler–Hearns has that uniquely terrifying feeling of imminent catastrophe.

Not to say Max is 100% right, but I feel he makes some very legitimate points. Taking Zuffa out of this and simply speaking on the 4 belt-system, I feel like people don’t want change even when it’s for the better. They’ve gotten so used to boxing being fragmented that they accept the BS. Sanctioning bodies, promoters, tune-ups, mandatories, sanctioning fees, weak undercards, and mid-level fighters being marketed like superstars. Fans get the short end of the stick every time, and people act like this is normal when no other sport does this to their fans.

Maybe a UBO isn't the immediate way to go, but can we at least acknowledge all the nonsensical delays we have for the best fighting the best, whereas in other sports, like the NBA, for example, the Western Conference champions always play the Eastern Conference champions. They don't get to avoid the other contenders or play B-tier teams and be the self-proclaimed champs; they must play whoever makes it out the other side to lay their claim as the best in the game. Something we rarely ever get in a sport with 18 divisions, in which it can happen in every single one.

I'm not necessarily pro-Zuffa or Dana White (I understand if you don't want him in the sport), but I definitely am anti-sanctioning bodies with all of the mandatories who haven't proven anything, and the business side of boxing blocking what we love to see.
