Anybody want to talk 90's era boxing?
Chamillitary Click:
Just had the best heavyweight fight since the 90's last week. Joshua/Klitschko was unreal. Joshua 19-0 with 19 KO's. Leave the 90's where they were there is great boxing on the rise.
This weekend Chavez/Canelo. My nigga Errol Spence Jr. fighting Kell Brook in London soon. May 20th, I'll be at the Garden near ringside for Crawford/Diaz. Getting a Ward/Kovalev rematch. Hopefully Canelo/GGG by December. Best year in boxing in years. Let's appreciate the now, my G's.

Trinidad, Mosley, Hopkins, Floyd and Manny. Yeah, it's a good list and better than losing to bums, but it affects how I viewed the later half of his career. Had I not grown up in Oxnard, I probably wouldn't have cared about Vargas, so as satisfying of a win as that was for Oscar and his fans, it really wasn't anything too crazy since it's not like Vargas running the 154 division.

There are 2 phases to Oscar's career, ducking people and getting all the wins possible and building your name, then fighting all the best fighters and making all the money possible. Oscar DID beat Felix, don't be lied to, but the others, yeah, they fucked him up. Mosley's fight at Staples, I remember that like it's yesterday. Once Oscar got his name out there, he'd fight a rabbit pitbull if the payday was right, as obvious by fight B Hop. He cashed in on his name, got his ass whooped but still sold a lot of PPV's. But was about that money. After all, what good is your name if you don't cash in.

Yeah but it's hard to call the (official) loss to Trinidad a robbery when he even admitted he let off the gas. Should've closed out strong.
I don't mind him cashing in on his name... it justifies the fights but not the losses.

Who do you have winning? Canelo's better but Chavez is a BIG boy, and I bet he wants this one more than a lot of his other fights.

Yeah Canelo is definitely the more skilled fight. But yeah, I saw them the other day standing next to each other, didn't realize how much taller Chavez is.
They said this is the biggest fight in Mexican history. Both guys hate each other. I expect a war. Rooting for Chavez, Canelo should win.

And it's not like Canelo is small either. But the two of them looks like Manny standing in front of basically any welterweight (aside from guys who moved up like he did, such as Marquez and Bradley).
I don't know if this is the "best" boxing year though. Aside from last weekend's heavyweight fight, I've felt let down so far, especially with how uneventful that last GGG fight was.
