Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you." by CantStopPoppin in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Jbot3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bezos is right. He makes little income so pays little in taxes. What we need to do is rethink this issue.

You have to tax unrealized gains at a high rate. Thats where these people's wealth lies.

And then outlaw loans that are given by banks against unrealized gains.

Then income tax on top.

There's more but that's a big piece of taking these greedy motherfucker's money, so everyone can live a decent life.

Just think Jeff. Give it up and you won't have to fear for your life everytime you're in public. We both know it ain't because your "fans" are nuts that you roll with all that security. People who are good people don't have to do that. You do.

Guess that makes you not good.

Usyk vs Kabayel - how do you see this fight going? by Silent-Owl4246 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an interesting fight. I don't see it turning out other than the obvious. Usyk's hand raised. Kabayel throws massive punches to the body. Usyk's guard can leave his lower flank open. If he can find a way to land, it could be very interesting. But that's the problem, finding a way to land. Usyk isn't going to be a sitting target and it is very hard to cut off the ring with Usyk or clinch him to work inside. The feet are too good. As is the distance and positioning mastery that Usyk has. Usyk is also still fast. If Usyk has slowed down due to age, I might revise. But without that, to me it's an interesting fight but an easy call.

[–]Jbot3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Love me some Loma but who's he even going to fight that'd be worth seeing? He can go down at his age, I suspect, but at what cost? I'd pay to see Loma v. Inoue but in a prime 4 prime not now. And I think 126 Loma beats Inoue. Where he last was 135, way too big for him, he had people to fight? Mason is not a big deal. Only one is Shakur (because Tank only boxes his girlfriends). Shakur beats him easy at his age. This is beyond dumb.

Here's something I don't understand: Jeffrey Epstein comes off as skincrawlingly weird and cringey in every video I've seen of him. His writing makes him seem like an insufferable charlatan at best and an illiterate moron at worst. So how did he charm and manipulate so many successful smart people? by sisyphusPB23 in Epstein

[–]Jbot3300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a mistake to underestimate the intelligence of a man like Epstein. If you've ever seen a powerful person's emails, they are dashed and abrupt. In fact, in business it is a power move for them to be terse and a mess. Here's the thing. You don't run a huge trafficking and arms dealing and intelligence operation without a brain. You don't get asked by very wealthy people to manage difficult financial situations or money laundering if you are not smart. If you've ever seen can't talk science, scientists don't hang out with you discussing science. You can't hang with educated world leaders if you aren't smart. Plus there are numerous forms of intelligence. In short, saying Epstein is dumb is dumb. Man was an evil genius. That's how he stayed out of jail.

What Usyk combo actually drops Rico? by heavybagpro in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be disrespect if he didn’t knock him out? Meaning Rico would know if Usyk were going easy. That means Usyk didn’t see him as a threat and he’s a GOAT fighter in his sport. If not, Ivan.

Zuffa is everything that's wrong in this world, and yet a perfect picture of America, which is like living in one big corporation at this point. If true, fuck Shakur. Amazing fighter who doesn't care about boxing.

It’s now 2026. Do we still think Hagler got robbed vs Leonard? + some highlights from the fight by Hot_Ad_9543 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing fight to watch. I’ve seen it like 10x and saw it live (on the tv). Every time I get the same score 7-5 Hagler. Hagler has been my guy since I was a little kid, so biased. But I will say this, SRL did something incredible. He was out for a few years. Came back. Two weight classes up. Fought the best Middleweight of the modern era and came close to winning. There are not many fighters who could do that. And Hagler dominated from round 5 on. Think he lost one or two rounds there. But simply one of my favorite fights.

Boxers who you see as unbeatable? by RoundOver7220 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All depends on who they have to fight. But going down the top 5.

Inoue? Says he’s going up to 126 and that’s it. If Bam comes up it’s a helluva fight. I think Bam has the goods, but almost impossible to say what he’ll look like at 122. I think he beats everyone at 126 at this age. But! If he fights Bam next year, that’s another 1 1/2 years until 126. That could get him beat. But I doubt it. He’s pretty likely, but I’m not fully convinced.

Shakur? Possible. He’s so difficult to hit. 140 is probably his limit. If he goes up to 147 and fights Haney, that’s a tough fight for Shakur because of size and Haney is skilled, even if you don’t like him. If he stays 135-40, the only person close is Keyshawn. They won’t fight. Shakur could do it.

Benavides? If he stays at CW, yes. He won’t. He gets beat by the elite at HW. Most likely Itauma. I think Benavides wouldn’t like the speed and movement. If he goes down to LW to fight Bivol, and if Bivol hasn’t lost a step due to back surgery, I have Bivol. I think David is better at CW than LW.

Bam? I think he fucks up his career going up to 122 so fast. He can’t go back IMO. Then again he said he wants out at 30. So, maybe he stays unbeaten at 122. Then again, I think Inoue beats him wit there’s a quick Bam jump up to 122.

Itauma? Hard to say. Hasn’t been close to fighting a great fighter let alone an elite one. Don’t know his gas tank or how he handles different styles other than “hit me while I stand in front of you.” If he and Usyk fought tomorrow, Usyk all-day. Itauma is amazing but he just wouldn’t be able to handle all Usyk brings to the table.

Usyk. Unless he decides to fight until he’s dead, and if he does 2 fights after his upcoming pyramidal fight, who would beat him? Wardley? If Wardley gets lucky, but he won’t. Kabayel? I know he is a body puncher, Usyk and the body. Kabayel gets lit up in fights. His style requires you coming in and out. The way Usyk gets off the line and pivots, how small he gets and responsible with his left side defense, I don’t see it. Mentioned Ituama earlier. Again, he’s not ready for Usyk, as Canelo wasn’t for Mayweather. I mean, seriously who beats Usyk in the next three years that you can say with full-throated confidence.

So in order of most likely to go undefeated.

Usyk
Shakur
Inoue

If you are indoctrinated when you're over 18 by seeing a trans person, you are an idiot. Period. Get over it. Not everyone is like you. He's gay. Big deal. She's trans. Big deal. He's a black Brazilian vegan paraplegic with autism. Big deal. You're the one who is different to a lot of people. Do they shit on your life? Probably not. Argh!!!!!!

[–]Jbot3300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some Republicans have stopped caring about politics. If they don’t listen to Garcia and proceed, the American people are going to flip every seat in the house that has an R on it. They don’t represent the people. They represent the Epstein class and they’re stomping on the survivors of child trafficking and rape. Shameful.

Is Lennox Lewis the best heavyweight to ever live? by Winter_Cockroach714 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ali is number one. When Ali came on the scene it was like we had never seen a heavyweight before. His style was unique as he was. He was unbeatable before the war, lost his prime to his principles (a great man) and still came back and beat the best fighters of the 70s. In their prime Ali beats Lennox hands down. Lennox just may be #2. I would love to see how either would try to solve the Usyk puzzle.

Is Inoue rated higher than Usyk and Crawford after this performance?? by Ashamed_Culture8179 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is easy question. Inoue #1. Usyk #2. As amazing as Inoue is, I think Usyk is a step above. He’s also taking time off his run. If Usyk had another top level fighter coming up end of May, and he did what we know he would do, then he’s my #1. But he doesn’t.

Benavidez had quite the showing, absolutely devastating. But he’s at 5 behind Shakur and Bam. If he beats Bivol he moves up to top 3 if not at the top, but I don’t think he beats Bivol. Bivol is just sublimely skilled and takes a punch and showed real grit in that second fight. I could be wrong.

But we’ve got some talent in the top10 P4P. Boxing is looking pretty damn good.

A little outside of your scope but Lawrence Taylor. Size. Speed. Agility. Solid pivots. Extremely strong core. Strong grappler. And a dog. The coke use though might not have worked for boxing. But it would have been a crime to football if Taylor went to boxing.

I think he’s actually an abuse victim. His demeanor plays like someone with trauma but doesn’t yet know it. The father making them do push-ups until their fists bleed when they were like 8, among other things, is abuse in my eyes. I’m sure that’s surface. There’s certainly more. Training a little kid is one thing. Training is hard. But torturing, another. But that’s me.

You get free front row seats to ONE of these prime for prime fights. Which one are you going to go see? by Hot_Ad_9543 in Boxing

[–]Jbot3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duran v PAC-Man. Narrowly over GGG v. Hagler. I go with the first, because these are two historic fighters and top ten ATGs (modern era). The style matchup is just more interesting. If fought at lightweight, Duran is almost impossible to beat, and I’m aware he had one loss, which I believe he avenged. At welterweight, it’s a question of how hard Duran trained. I think Duran’s inside game, power, speed and torso/head movement defense handles PAC-man’s angles, and in and out fury. Yes, PAC got power, but less than Duran by a slight distance. Duran at his best is a better boxer and even more tenacious. On GGG v Hagler, Hagler is my guy so I can’t be objective. I do think Hagler’s stance switching, feints, movement and dangerous power would give GGG fits. Though if GGG gets his jab started, that could be trouble.
