    funny, the NSAC rejected Ward's latest opponent, it was that bad. this is the best boxer in the sport and he's taking these type of fights? lol let that sink in. this rarely happens. ward has been a staple in boxing long before GGG made a name, and has yet to warrant his own PPV. you are throwing stones from a glass house.

    The same people that want GGG to jump two divisions to face Ward are the same people that scoffed at the notion of Floyd going to 154 to fight GGG. They call GGG a bum, yet they say he beats eveybody in his division so he needs move up. lol

    Triple duck is easy to hit... a slick fighter with good defense and can avoid a jab could trouble him, triple duck reminds me of kosta tzuyu of years back

    people said the same thing about dana white once upon a time... everybody hates whose on top

    golden girl only has canelo, and once cotto beats him they are finished.. i know oscar has a 117-111 scorecard waiting for canelo if he can make it 12 rounds....

    top prank is a joke.. no talent at 147... the hottest division in boxing


    triple duck and roman gonzalez the so called top 3 p4p fighters in the world headlined a ppv and did 97k... thats terrible... its back to hbo boxing after dark for those guys

    dana white is the opposite of haymon. white is the promotor from 100 years ago where the fighters make chump change. on the plus side he pits the best against the best.

    haymon is showing the money to his fighters but they're protected. it's great if you want to watch a boxing future of paper champions.

    I went to this fight. NRG was pretty empty and most of the fights sucked.

    ^ charlo brothers are talented but this was a crap matchup. like most of PBC cards. al haymon is no different than any other snake promoter in the sport. but not all pbc is bad, once in a while they will have a good matchup. but their promotion sucks. they have a huge roster but i think adrian broner is being pushed as their biggest star and hes a fraud lol. not surprised nrg arena was dead. its a shame because hes a houston kid too.

    just look at their November schedule, nothing interesting

    This may be a interesting fight if Brandon Rios can make it a brawl but I think Tim Bradley will outpoint him and get a decision win.

    Rios has nothing in his toolbar to make it a brawl. The only way this gets interesting is if Bradley CHOOSES to brawl. the dude can't help himself.

    This letter, written by Oscar De La Hoya will be published in December 2015 issue of Playboy Magazine.

    I agree 99% with De La Hoya

    There will be more people talking about it during and after the fight.

    I hope that many links and streams online don't get shut down before the main event.
