Im sick of protecting fighters to preserve
the "0" then they fight a live opponent and fall on their arses. What a waste of time.
And all these contenders in a holding pattern waiting for a title fight. Fighters fight.
A lucky guy that really succeeded is Saunders. After fighting guys like Adamu, Isufi, Coceres, and a washed up Murray keeping his O, then he got a mega fight with Canelo bc Canelo wanted that belt from BJS.
Now it seems that some champions follow that pattern too like: the young fighters from 160 are staying safe and wait to make the jump at 168 when Canelo would run out of opponents at 168, and then the champions from 175 are keeping their belts so tight hoping that Canelo would want to conquer that division too.
At 147 Crawford should've already fought a name like Porter, Garcia, Ugas or Spence, if he really wanted.
At 135 beside Lopez and Loma, the rest of the top crop are protecting their O like crazy.
