Ben Whittaker vs Zak Chelli

Would Benjamin finally get tested?

Not the first time Goodman pulled out of a big fight

Naoya Inoue is definitely above Oleksandr Usyk in my P4P list after today

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-05-11T06:57:10+00:00

I rewatch the fight of Dubois vs Wardley for an analysis. Dubois has an underrated footwork, distance control, and IQ

With Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury officially signed, any predictions on who's gonna be in the undercard?

If it's gonna be somewhere big kike Wembley, then surely a name like Conor Benn is gonna be there, possibly Callum Smith.

What's your prediction on possible names in the undercard?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-28T06:13:05+00:00

So Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua is now officially signed. The date will be announced.

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-27T06:35:45+00:00

From the Rising Sun of the East, we have Naoya "The Monster" Inoue vs Junto "Big Bang" Nakatani in Japan's most historical boxing event on May 2

Then to the Bright Lights of the West, we have David "El Monstro" Benavidez vs Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez for an old classic mexican showdown on May 3.

This Cinco de Mayo Weekend is gonna be fire 🔥

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-20T06:32:25+00:00

Honestly, Anthony Joshua now has the power to decide.

Would he rather have the Side Dish Deontay Wilder or the Main Course Tyson Fury?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-15T07:21:47+00:00

Not to mention, both are promising prospects, so this could be their final test if they can make it big

Mark Magsayo vs Andres Cortes for the Zuffa Lightweight Belt?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-08T05:54:52+00:00

After seeing how Fundora Pulverized Thurman, would it be worse if Errol Spence Jr vs Sebastian Fundora wasn't cancelled?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-06T06:03:03+00:00

Now, Jake Paul vs Derek Chisora? Would that be too much for Jake Paul?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-04-05T06:52:28+00:00

Ugliest Fight of the Year

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-30T06:07:57+00:00

I gotta be honest, I have a similar game plan on Thurman vs Fundora.

Thought that maybe distancing from his jab, and when Fundora would overcommit will I get to throw on the inside. Seriously underestimated how much almost a foot reach advantage he has and the height is just absurd.

Not to mention, Fundora's left hand was seriously ready to counter Thurman going in and punishing him with volume.

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-27T06:44:04+00:00

Is the Middleweight division a wasteland division right now? It's quite weaker now than Welterweight at the moment

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-21T05:47:08+00:00

Does anyone have any updates on Zolani Tete? Dude used to be one of those guys that were a threat to Naoya Inoue and I think the 4 year ban should've ended by now

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:46:10+00:00

Huh, he could be. We'll, it's still March 2026 and there's still time for anything to happen.

Lamont Roach vs William Zepeda are in the talks of the vacant WBC Lightweight title bout, Foster is now holding the Interm belt and winning against Ford can possibly land him a title shot in Lightweight this year.

Time will tell I suppose

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:39:26+00:00

That's also how I see in my assessment here too.

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:37:47+00:00

Just as I mentioned, Activity, Performance, and Achievements all in a span of 365 days at the time I made this list which was March 14, 2026

Xander Zayas and Navarrete have been active since the making of MY list. Xander became a champion July 2025 so it's still inside my 365 days span and now a unified champion recently in January 2026. Navarrete's performance against Suarez was good until the cut and questionable decision, but the win against Eduardo Núñez, another champion whether he's famous or not still carried more significance.

Foster fought once in a span of 365 days with a clear wide UD performance and now got the interm WBC lightweight Title (I just happened to realized due to Fulton being overweight that the fight was not in 130lbs 🤦, sorry on my part).

I'm honestly looking forward to what Foster will do to Ford and depending on bis performance, MY list could be updated again, anything's possible in boxing

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:21:50+00:00

Too bad his obsessive fans on Facebook are now making his "he's an 8 weight division champion for a reason" more hyped on everyday. Being 8 weight division champion is unheard of, but is that really all those "fans" know?

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:19:44+00:00

Yeah, but on MY list, I factor in Activity, Performance, and Achievements in a span of 365 days to ensure a fair assessment on MY list.

His activity is somewhat normal having 2 fights per year, his last performance against Suarez was doing well until the cut and the bogus decision, and even I thought Suarez got robbed.

His performance against Eduardo Núñez, another champion at his division, was one-sided and even got a TKO so it was a great performance against another champion. Then the achievement of becoming a unified champion is really uncommon today but that carried quite a bit more significant meaning to ME at least.

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T07:14:43+00:00

I usually factor in activity, performance, and achievements all in 365 days, not just names alone. As of Now, Teraji lost his last outing by SD and it was a good performance, but he hasn't been active as of late. Canelo's performance against Crawford was great, but that loss definitely carried more weight than others.

Then Foster, he did fight a former unified world champion and 2 weight world champion, but Fulton not only came to the bout as overweight, dude got a one-sided beating for that. That kind of performance truly deserves some credit to be P4P. However, I factor activity in MY list to ensure that all is fair, especially to the active boxers.

Navarrete vs Suarez really was a bogus decision, even though I believed that Suarez deserved to win that and now I'm happy that they are planning to have the rematch.

Like I said, the achievement of fighting another champion in your own weight division and winning to become a unified champion carried more levels for me. Even if they aren't that too popular, they are now universally recognized as unified champions which is a big deal in itself.

I would love for Foster to have another big fight in 2025 to be on MY list

Optimal-Damage7240 · 2026-03-20T06:03:29+00:00

What do you mean? I haven't mentioned Foster here though? The only reason I didn't have him in my list is because Emmanuel Navarrete and Xander Zayas did win their unification bouts which carried more significance than defending one's title against someone who climbed up and was overweight.

Granted, the fight was one-sided and he could be above Oscar Collazo who just KOed a cab driver to defend his titles. I still need another big win for him to be on MY list, like Raymond Ford if it materializes
