Canelo vs. Plant is now off as talks have broken down
This was set with a date as if it were finalized
And this is one of the reasons why boxing is in the sh*tter
We as fans never get what we want - like Spence vs. Crawford
Always comes down to the parties can't agree on money or somebody is ducking somebody ........

Evander Holyfield and Oscar De La Hoya were Olympians
Seems like a lifetime ago
This is rather depressing
These schmoes look like 2 oafs getting into a fight after an argument at your local corner bar
This is the best boxing has to offer us?

As far as I know boxing is the only sport left in the Olympics that still is all about amateurs. So, not the best that boxing has to offer, but possibly the future of boxing... which is also sad.

I put this in the Olympic thread - I'd have to dig up his name - think he was a Flyweight from Cincy -
He was a pro - he had a couple of pro fights.....

Here's what I put in the Olympic Thread - I was watching it as it was taking place and was intrigued about the fighter -
'Featherweight Boxing on USA right now
USA vs. France
Kid's fighting out of Cincy - apparently Cincy represents a large portion of U.S. boxers
Duke Ragan is this kids name - this kid's dad was just sentenced to jail for selling drugs
** Turns out he's 23 and has already had 4 pro fights - I was under the assumption we weren't sending professional boxers over'

Yeah, I thought they had to be actual amateurs. Even lamer if he's not.

Muhammad Ali's Grandson had his 1st professional fight last night -
And scored a TKO victory over a pugilist who looked like a homeless heroin addict lacking proper nutrition and sleep

Canelo P4P the best boxer in the world Alvarez - TKO over Plant s ago shortly ago in the 11th Round Unifies all 4 Super Middleweight belts. A shame we never got Canelo/Money II when Canelo was a little bit more experienced/older/wiser - think the 2nd bout would have gone differently

Good one coming up on Saturday Night Welterweight Title Fight Former Champ Shawn Porter vs. WBO Champ Terence Crawford Hoping to finally get Crawford / Spence Jr. after this - Megafight everybody has wanted for years

Apparently the Porter/Crawford fight was a war.
Crawford with a TKO victory in the 10th
Porter retired after the fight.
Hopefully Spence Jr. is up next - but I just listened to commentators discuss Crawford/Canelo which would be electric as well
