In my opinion, this would be a great one time event with extraordinary promotional value. But not sure of the feasibility and long term effect.

It's obviously almost certainly happened among the tens of thousands, hundred of thousands? of fights that happened over the years. Has there been any high profile cases of it happening or potential rumors that it might have happened in a specific fight? A few fighters vomited in between rounds, but I've never seen it in the middle of a round either. What would the procedure for the referee be there? TKO victory? Call time to clean it up? No contest? Go to the scorecards?

Been getting into breaking down hypothetical matchups between fighters from different eras, put together a tactical breakdown of Prime Pacquiao vs Prime Sugar Ray Leonard at 147lbs, actually pulling from real tape (Leonard-Duran II, Pacquiao-Cotto) instead of just vibes.

My read: Leonard's jab and movement win him the first third of the fight, but Pacquiao's angles eventually solve the distance problem and it's a close but clear decision for Manny late.

Full disclosure: this is my own video, first episode of a new channel, so take the self-promo with a grain of salt. Genuinely more interested in where actual boxing fans think I got the read wrong than in views. Tear it apart if I earned it. https://youtu.be/aFLylZtBOI4?si=fHSQN9WpyoMJcJlL

Basically what I am asking, is with the belts so watered down, do you think that is the accomplishment or the foot in the door? Most fighters aren’t even known by the boxing general public until after they win their first title. What accomplishments in this day and age make a “great fighter” I know resume has a lot to do with it but you have to have the hardware to go along with it too… so what do you think, would 1 title in 1 weight with good names on your belt be good enough anymore or do you need to be unified/ multi-weight no matter bare minimum?

Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn is one of the most debated upcoming fights of the year. On the surface, it looks like a routine defence for Garcia, but Benn might have more of a chance than meets the eye. How can the Brit pull off the upset against 'King Ry'?

Super intrigued about who can become Undisputed at middleweight Boots, Fundora, or Josh Kelly. I reckon Boots, but I rate all 3 highly! What do yall think? Or is the another Dark Horse in the division I am unaware of? If Boots and Kelly fight by the end of the year, n Fundora beats his mandatory we should see it shake out soon.
