A rare image of today's heavyweights...both of them having a six pack.



Glad to see a couple of contenders taking their craft seriously.

Bryant Jennings 225.25 vs. Oscar Rivas 234

It’s a rare photo for another reason too. It’s a Top Rank guy versus a PBC fighter.

LOL! Sad but true. Let's hope the fight is as good as the photo.

Wow, modern heavyweights who's idea of roadwork isn't driving to the buffet.

LOL! What's the matter, you don't enjoy wiggly wobbly bodies prancing around the ring?

And what was Arum saying about PBC/Haymon don’t work with anyone else?

Isn't Jennings usually a bit pudgy?

Bob Arum seems rather forgetful nowadays.

Not to my recollection. You thinking of Trevor Bryan?

Man i was thinking about it too. Tired of fat heavyweights.

Well. Maybe he was referring to the bigger names.

Jennings always in super shape.

Jennings for the points win but a ko by either would be impressive.

Having abs never won a fight. They at least look like athletes but numerous greats didn't look in top shape.

Like Amir Khan?

Haymon is supposedly still involved in the Brits fights when staged on US soil. Khan confirmed this during an interview with iFL TV.

Amir Khan is still officially listed as a PBC fighter on their website.

No argument on that. But looking like a fitness model hasn't won many titles.
That's all I'm saying

I’m as bored as the rest at seeing fat heavyweights so fair play. Unfortunately they are both also something I’m tired of seeing, very, very, very average heavyweight boxers.

Fingers crossed Rivas surprises us and produces something special to announce himself. We already know what Jennings has got

Yes. I know.

He meant the boxers that are currently promotional free currently with PBC.

Guys like the Charlo’s, Spence, Thurman, Garcia x2, Porter.

All those above have no official promoter promoting them. Obviously Khan is advised by Haymon, this listed on the site.

Their looks are very deceiving. Rivas' stamina is atrocious. I think Fat Miller and Fat Ruiz Jr. have better stamina. This is boxing, not a beauty contest.

Fat Fury could've went in there and beat them both.

I understand what you say, but had Amir Khan chosen not to face Bud, Terence Crawford was supposedly lined-up to face Luis Collazo instead, which is another PBC fighter.

I don't understand Arum's gripes about Al Haymon, since PBC guys do compete in bouts against fighters from the Top Rank stable.

However, Bob Arum keeps saying the following about Al Haymon: “won’t cooperate with anyone,” he's the “cancer on the business.”... “He won’t deal with anybody, he won’t make fights with anybody...”
