I would of liked to hear Bread's thoughts on trainers like Kovalov's old one John David Jackson being on speed dial with Ward's team?

I consider that VERY unprofessional and disrespectful. I would never trust someone like that to have my back 100% ever.

I would also like to hear Bread's thoughts on managers hiding $$$ from boxers that the promotors give them like in concession %, etc. that the fighter doesnt even know thats owed to them?

I once thought Golovkin would be a shoo-in for the HoF but now I really don't think so unless he obliterates Canelo then stays at that level for some more big fights. Edging past Jacobs and a debatable draw with Canola ain't HoF material. I don't see GGG beating McClellan, Jones Jr, Toney, even Benn and maybe not McCallum, as Mike was definitely better than Danny Jacobs, imo. To be fair to Golovkin, he's in a weak middleweight era. Fantasy match up: GGG vs The Hawk.

Usyk vs Gassiev is gonna be awesome
Wilder vs AJ needs to happen
Not interested in GGG or Canelo, over them both and the whole MW division until some new guys take over.

CW and HW are going to be completely unified soon enough, hopefully HW by early next year at the latest.

It's a shame that people whine about racism in boxing. And it's always the poor blacks. Grow up. Sorry. America land of the cry babies. I'm not racist and I'm sick of racism being a centerpiece in the US. The capital of reverse racism.

When we compare active fighters to ones from the past, it's kind of natural to compare the current version of the active fighter to the prime version of the other. But you shouldn't compare an older GGG to prime versions of other fighters, or let the older GGG change your opinion of prime GGG.

GGG is 36 years old now, and was a few weeks from being 35 at the time of the Jacobs fight.

McClellan had to retire at 28 so there was no "old McClellan" to compare "old GGG" to, RJJ from 35-36 was losing 3 straight fights (2 by KO), etc.

I'm neither black nor American but I am familiar with history. You call blacks crybabies and you can't take their whining anymore.

The blacks endured slavery, Jim Crow and systemic and systematic racism for hundreds of years. How could that compare with what poor little you has endured? Poor little you, you have to bare all that complaining... Tell me, who is the cry baby again ?

Apologies and Reparations were given to the Chinese for the Chinese Exclusion Act. Apologies and Reparations were given to German and Japanese Americans for having been imprisoned during WW2.
Apologies and Reparations will have to be given to African Americans before anyone can move on.

Send in the questions, and hopefully he answers them in the next mailbag.

Terrific and intelligent mailbag. Congratulations to Breadman.

The forums sucks though...
