I do agree, Canelo is a mega star, but Bud Crawford is nipping at his heels. You have plenty of stars in boxing.

Sure, GGG and Canelo are paid well, but there are many boxers I have never heard of that are superior to these YouTubers in so many ways that it kinda hurts to see them not get recognized.

Letron_James 10/30/23 6:49:13 PM #17:	Boxing is done. The fact Fury only won that fight because it was rigged was the dagger in the heart for the sport. Say what you will, but Heavyweight Champ is the figurehead of the sport. The fact the number one dude in the world got embarrassed by a guy fighting his first boxing match says all you need to know. Its done a full horseshoe back into carnival rigged matches, theres not a single boxing fan with two eyes that could make a legitimate case as to why he should have won that match. while watching Fury all I could think is how George Foreman would eat this man alive, even Lennox Lewis would take his lunch money.
