@DanRafael1 Eddie could put Boots as the WBO and WBA titlist in against Fondura who has the WBC belt, Crawford can fight a comeback against Josh Kelly who has the IBF belt and if they win you have a mega fight between 2 Americans and a chance for TC to be unified at 4th division

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@djdotmp4 You can use the TPE to acquire players earning under the $41M, and then trade them, with outgoing salary and picks in 3 team deal to Boston

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@DanRafael1 as much as I Crawford can gain chasing history if he wants to try to add the middleweight title to his collection, wouldn’t he make a lot more money fighting Benn in the UK or SA than Janibek Alimkhanuly, or Boots if he wanted to fight in US?

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@DanRafael1 is Pacquiao vs Margarito a blueprint Crawford can follow against Canelo? When they met at catchweight of 150, Manny didn’t try to get that heavy, he weighed in at 144 lbs, retained his quickness and his hand speed and combinations dominated the fight.

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@DanRafael1 so Amazon signs a deal with the PBC in 2023 to get access to Canelo and Tank, now in 2025 both fighting on their rival Netflix. I don’t think they will be thanking Al Haymon

How does Top Rank keep their guys busy while they are finding broadcast home? @DanRafael1

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@DanRafael1 With Top Rank leaving ESPN in July and having to find a new broadcaster, could you see that being the opportunity Lampley has been waiting for to call fights again with Kellerman? The freaks would love a Lampley, Kellerman, Bradley broadcast on Top Rank Boxing

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@NataTheScribe Nick Smith Jr is tradeable

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

With Beterbiev being unified now at 175 and Benevidez and Morell tied up till probably May, if they don’t do a Bivol rematch, is there enough financial incentive and historical significance to get Ward to fight Beterbiev? @DanRafael1 @MikeCoppinger

@NataTheScribe @WalkerMehl @DougBransonLOH $25K isn’t the amount of relief being sought against Ball and Hornets, that the min threshold to bring a civil action in Superior Court in NC, regardless of the value, the complaint typically always seeks an amount in excess of $25K

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@NataTheScribe @WalkerMehl @DougBransonLOH (2 of 2) If the child is 1% at fault, he can’t recover anything under NC law, if Lamelo is found 100% liable his insurance is on the hook for any verdict. This suit is about collecting from Charlotte

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@NataTheScribe @DougBransonLOH @WalkerMehl (1 of 2} This lawsuit is strictly the legal mechanism to bring the Hornets into a civil action and hope they settle it to avoid bad publicity optics, it’s not about Lamelo.

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

Why even mention Quin Snyder as a target for Charlotte, he resigned, Utah doesn’t have to pay him, or let him out of his contract so he can take another job nor should they without compensation, which Charlotte won’t do @WalkerMehl @DougBransonLOH

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@danrafaelespn if the NCAA cancels the tourney Virginia is still the lineal national champ, correct?

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@danrafaelespn What if you wanted to put Joshua at Staples, or AT&T Stadium, before Wilder/Fury fight can be made.

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@maxkellerman @maxkellerman is the bigger challenge for Joshua overcoming the mental part of being embarrassed in the first fight and losing his aura, or dealing with the things that stylistically presented problems for him with Ruiz, mainly hand speed, in the rematch?

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

While clearly not the exact same thing, where is the line between what Gutierrez did, grossly & intentionally missing weight, & what Mayweather did in 2009 intentionally missing weight against Marquez, maintain an advantage over smaller foe and just pay the $? @danrafaelespn

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

Should Wilder consider a trainer change? His ability to win on a single punch is amazing, but what happened in the 6 rounds prior to that can't be ignored, nor can what happened the majority of the Fury fight. @danrafaelespn

[Steve Mann @stevemannUNCFAN]

@danrafaelespn Everyone knows the lineal belt was something ESPN created as a fledgling young network in 1885 to get the public excited about this hot prospect named John L Sullivan, who a young Bob Arum had just signed to Top Rank.
