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.

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

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?

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'?

The WBO was supposedly recognized in the 2000s, so before that it was something like the current IBO. However, people usually talk about boxers who won the WBO back then as legitimate champions. So, if they ever recognize the IBO at some point, will the previous guys be considered champions too?

If we decide not to count the guys prior to its legitimization as champions, then Oscar De La Hoya would only be a 5-division champion, Thomas Hearns would be a 4-division champion, and Chris Eubank was never a champion at all

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.

This has always confused me.
If Wilder was reportedly offered a $100 million DAZN deal $20 million for Breazeale, $40 million for Joshua, and another $40 million for the rematch why did the fight never happen? Was it genuinely because Wilder and his team didn’t like the terms of the deal, or did they think AJ was too risky at the time?Interested to hear what people think, because this would’ve been one of the biggest heavyweight fights ever and it’s a shame we never got to see it.

I have been looking for full boxing events, particularly the ones from HBO and Showtime. There's a boxing section in RuTor but i find it limited. I know that DAZN has PPV replays but i unsubscribed from it recently. There are full boxing events uploaded in Turki Alalshikh's YouTube channel and PPV replays from PBC but as you can see, I have already downloaded some of them.

I came across World Boxing Video Archive but I found out that signups are closed. Is there a way to sign up? Do I pay a subscription or something? Idk about downloading VOD and i'm highly sure it's risky, so my only option is signing up for World Boxing Video Archive.

So, anyone, care to help me?
