David Price did not publish it for likes. He did not push him into a promotional roll. He just quietly reminded of the boxing world of something brutal: the most terrible blow before which he stood in front of him is barely remembered – and barely alive.

“I used to pair a Russian named Denis Boytv in Germany” Price said Daily Star Sport. “He only hit the top of his head, but he was a powerful puncher.”

That’s all it took. This is not correct. Not pristine, upper. Only the shot looking at the crown – and Price, who took the blows of the heaviest division hitters, I still can’t forget about it. This says everything.

Let’s not grab this sugar. Price career has turned into a main roll for the growth of other people. He was flattened with names plastered by belts, posters and Denze offers. But the man who left the deepest sign was none of them.

It was BOYTSOV.

And you can barely hear his name.

He was 36-1. He had impetus. He had his hands. He was set to a shot in the world championship title. Then he disappeared. In May 2015, he was found unconscious between two railway stations in Berlin. Broken skull. Swollen brain. Medically induced coma. Seven weeks.

They said it was an “accident”.

The police in Berlin had Gald to call it an “accident”. Meanwhile, her own side of BOTSOV stated that she was associated with years of threats. His wife called this revenge of MOB.

Price had no words: “He was absolutely destroyed by the gang of Russian guys and went to death. He couldn’t fight again.”

And he never did it.

Bokytova dropped over 30 kilograms in the hospital. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t walk. Initially treated in Berlin, he was later transferred to the Rehabilitation Clinic in Hamburg. In August 2021, Bokytsov was transferred to his hometown of Russia for further care. . It is still under 24-hour care, unable to speak and still requires aid in everyday classes.

Sport has been developing all the time – it did not exist that it never existed.

Hype went into safer hands. The belts went to ticket sellers. The world has never seen what BOYTSOV would be. He was buried in a system that never wanted him near the title.

No return history. No redemption arc. Nobody cries in the microphone about how he “overcame adversity.” He just disappeared.

And next time someone will start to exchange, who hit the most complex – this, this wilder, then, remember who David Price named.

They were not a poster boys. It was the one who never got his shot.

And we’ll never find out what he could do.

What a gloomy, sorry waste.

Coach Stephen Edwards says that Edgar Berlanga will not fight Caleb Plant because he is in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight. He wants Jaime Munguia because he will stand before him and is damaged from a bad knockout he suffered during the last fight with Bruno Surace.

Edwards says that Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) will not want to fight the plant (23-2, 14 KO), because he would hurt and apply Feints, and he is a bad style for him.

Effect $ 10 million

He believes that Berlanga worth $ 10 million Berlanga in the fight against Canelo Alvarez put him in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight. Berlanga is not trying to accept any pretenders at a high level at the age of 168. Munguia wants, who lost two of the last three fights, and Jermall Charlo.

35-year-old Jermall is Antique relic from a distant past When the dinosaurs wandered on the ground before a 9 mm killer, asteroids erased them. He fought only once in the last four years. Charlo’s lifestyle is well known to fans, and this helps Berlanga because he would get another guy who is less than 100%. Edgar’s last opponent, Jonathan Gonzalez-OrtizIt looked like a double body for Tyson Fury, obese -looking, and it was surprising that Dazn agreed to fight for one of his cards.

“Edgar Berlanga is in a privileged position in which he can choose some types of guys to fight. You see how he wanders towards Jaime Munguia. Do you know why? Millcity boxing About Edgar Berlang, whose goal is to fight Jaime Munguui, not the Caleb plant.

The reason why Berlanga is “privileged” is that he has a immense base of fans in Recent York with Puerto Rikan, who identify with him. Edgar is not from the island, but plays at an angle and wears the flag for his fights. He likes to be an American, but perceives himself as Puerto Rican.

A broken warrior?

“He [Munguia] It comes to you and can probably be damaged from this knockout [against Bruno Surace on December 14th last year]. It was a bad knockout. He was [Berlanga] fight him rather than a guy [Plant] It will be moving, fevering and using its reflections. This kind of things, “Stephen continued why Berlanga wants Munguu, but not planting,” said Edwards.

Berlanga wants Munguia for three reasons:

1. Uncomplicated to hit
2. Chinny: He knocked out with respect in the last fight
3. Popular among Mexican fans: this means immense PPV shopping and good money for Berlang.

“Sometimes, when guys earn some amounts, they become [selective]. Caleb is a bad style for him – said Edwards. “He would prefer to fight such guys who are before him.”

Berlanga is what is considered to be broken warrior. He got a immense $ 10 million compared to Canelo Alvarez in September last year, and now he wants similar money every time he fights, even though he doesn’t deserve it. Berlanga does not want to go back to receiving the handbags he got when he fought Padraig McCrora, Jason Quigley and Roamer Alexis Angulo.

Terenka Crawford is another example. After receiving a great payment against Errol Spence, he waited all year round until he was offered an appropriate agreement against Israil Madrimov. He just didn’t want to fight one of the pretenders at the age of 147 and take a gigantic cutting of remuneration. Now he does it again, sitting from the ring for a year to wait for him to get a great payment against Canelo. When these guys taste a huge cake, they don’t compete as before. They just look for specific fights about immense payments.

You will not see how they fight ordinary pretenders because there is no money and they may lose. You can’t put Berlanga with the best super medium -medium wagons, such as the plant, Christian Mbilli, Diego Paczecho or Oslyys Iglesias, because he was beaten again. His career will end if he goes to 175, where he should fight. There are no great payments for him or effortless grades, such as Munguia. There are only killers, like David Benavidez, David Morrell, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiv, who send him to defeat.

“He never won the title of the world,” said Edwards about Berlang. “This guy got $ 9 million [$10m to fight Canelo Alvarez]. It’s a lot of money. This is much more money than fighters much better than Edgar Berlanga was earned in one night. “

Canelo is ashamed of choosing a fight with Berlang because he knows that he has not deserved a shot for the world. His best wins were against Jason Quigley and Padraig McCrory. These are smaller guys. Canelo should have given the title of Pasteco, Mbilla or Iglesias, but we know why he didn’t choose them. They are solid warriors.

White boy claim

“Edgar Berlanga got a lot of money to fight Canelo and lost every round,” said Stephen. “I thought he was fighting well, but he lost at least 10 or 11 rounds and never won the motor title. He got eight, nine or 11 million dollars. This is a lot of money for a pretender for the title of world champion. It is tough to force this kind of guy to fight the Canelo plant, in which he will be delicate.

“It’s effortless to lose with Canelo because he is a legend. He is a guy with a higher rating. If he loses with Caleb after he said so many things about him, it will be, it will be [tough]. If Edgar loses with Caleb, his career probably ended because nobody wants to be defeated by a white boy. It’s a problem. American White Boys, people don’t want to lose to them, “said Edwards.

Berlanga focuses on money. This is a real reason why he is more interested in fighting Jaime Munguia, Canelo and Jermall Charlo than a plant. He can earn more money with the fight with these guys than he can plant because fans will buy events at PPV.

Munguia would have many Mexican Americans willing to order the fight with him and Berlanga. It doesn’t matter that Munguia is a marginal warrior who carefully maneuver his entire career by his promoters.

Mexican fans would still like to see how Berlanga is fighting because they would see it as a good fight. Berlang fans on the east coast would like to see this match and they don’t care that he never beat a good warrior in his career. They don’t care or understand that his CV is full of journeymen.

By Frank Bay: David Benavidez hit the mainstream. If David did nothing in terms of boxing, feasts at aged washed fighters (Anthony Dirrel and Demetrius Andrade) or the remains of Canelo Alvare (Caleb plant), at least hit the algorithm. People know who “Mexican monster” is now out of boxing.

Jake Paul-King or a jester?

He officially received a seal of approval by the self -proclaimed “boxing face” YouTuber/Pro Boxer Jake Paul. Benavidez was recently a guest of Jake Paul’s podcast, where they both talked about their problems with Alvarez. This means that although David may not earn on boxing awards or the money that Canelo has something more crucial. Slate!

The American lexicon has produced a slang term called “Scalout”. It is used to indicate the status of a person or a result of social approval. If it were the presidential race, it can be said that David would be in the polls and Canelo would be very lagging. Benavidez was demanding to camp and finally gained masses, maybe not inside the ring, but a quick look at social media and it is clear that David is at the peak of social opinion. Fathering with Jake Paul proves it, does it?

Jake Paul is bitter in Canelo for what he thinks he withdrew from what they thought was a completed contract to fight in the summer of 2025. Jake just seems salty, crying that Canelo is only demanding money and does not care about boxing, because he broke a date with him.

The choice of a better date came and threw $ 100 million on his knees. How do you laugh Canelo! And how do you laugh Alalshikh up his circus fights. It’s a bit ironic if you ask me. Nevertheless, David and Paul just sounded as if they were two bitter women gossiping like a sewing about a man who got up for a woman with a bigger goal.

I dare that every person reading is to seriously argue that they would do something other than what Canelo did. On the one hand, you have Jake Paul and David Benavidez chasing you for a one -time day for much less money, and the other, you can earn $ 100 million for Willam Scull and much more when Turks Alalshikh goes further. There is no straightforward man who would not choose the latter.

Hated the term “marriage”

Boxing fans know terrifying Maryna. Yes, some things in life need time to grow and marinate. Good wine or choosing the main meat must be seasoned and marinated. But in sport, and especially boxing, is it a good strategy, is it more avoiding?

As if a woman tells a man that she meets that she should wait for consuming, it may have two effects for a man. It can be a way that a woman uses him for more free dinners, and he gives up when he realizes that he was played, and it can improve the desire of a woman and make him do everything in her power to get her. Women improved this strategy to the shirt. Why are you asking? Because it works!

It also works in the same way for boxing. I will have an unprofitable opinion and say yes, sometimes great fights are better for marinating, and Canelo V Benevidez is no exception. Is this a strategy that can turn around? Yes. But whether the future payment can be absolutely worth the risk, you will bet you can.

There is no one reading the one who is not dealing with every day. But in boxing it is wrinkled, and the fighters are thrown for perceived evading when this strategy is used. We see Jarron Ennis and Brian Norman deal with the same script as I write. Of course, fans would love the fight Ennis vs. Norman at the moment, but the harsh reality is such that he is not a real star yet.

Sure, the money can be decent now, but if every warrior can still win and collect his profile, then the future fight becomes even more valuable. This is an undeniable fact. Boxing history also supports my opinion. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao took about 6 years, Spence vs. Crawford took 4 years, and Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin was 2 years aged.

In all these cases, the fight against time became greater. Every reasonable fan would have to admit that if, for example, Spence vs. Crawford was made in its infancy, he would not cope well at the checkout at all. Continuous fans and media created a fire that ensured his commercial success.

And for any successful process of the jacket can also dare. We see it now from Fury vs. Joshua, Joshua vs. Wilder, Tank Davis vs. Lomachenko and many others. The warrior may lose during the marinating process, but again the risk is still worth rewards. Example: Fury vs. Joshua.

This fight is not as it was once, but it will still be a huge commercial success. Fans will complain that they want to fight during their first. I will argue that it doesn’t matter. Mayweather and Pacquiao were not in their first, when they finally fought, but people still wanted to see it after all years of waiting.

People will still want to see Tank Davis vs. Lomachenko and Wilder vs. Joshua. To additionally prove how crazy boxing fans are, they still wanted to see the Mayweather vs. rumors. Pacquaio 2, even if it was only an exhibition.

The truth is that if Benavidez against Alvarez happened even two years ago, it would not be a mega event. Swift forward, just two years, and David raised his profile and is the mainstream. Even when the commercial numbers of Alvarez slipped and show bodily consumption, his star power would enhance to unprecedented heights if he fought David Benavidez. It is all part of the process.

Fear is if Alvarez or David will lose the fight between? I am here to say that it will still be a fight that fans want to see and would still be the main commercial success. Pacquiao lost on his way to Mayweather.

Floyd went to prison and the fight became bigger. The radiant point is that David still wins massive fights, then the fight is growing only for unimaginable commercial success. Whether Benevidez was able to fight Bivol and defeat Canelo Conqueror, and then the fight between him and Alvarez is growing exponentially. The reality is that this fight is marinated.

Crawford skips the line

In the case of a perceived favoring Bud Crawford, it is not certain, as you call it, maybe a chance for a king has been earned. That is why it was said that not what you know, who you know. And Crawford was apparently received by Money Turki Alalshikh as his favorite son. But let’s compare some Crawford and Benevidez.

Is Benavidez a better warrior than Crawford? You must say that Crawford actually did more in sport than Benavidez. For most critics, it is probably a pound of 4 pounds #1. What about the purely technical aspect of boxing? I am sure that most would think Crawford has more skills than Benavidez, in terms of boxing style.

What about the level of opponents? The consensus would have to be based solely on technical values. Crawford met with a better opposition. Crawford has one P4P warrior on his CV, and Benavidez is gone.

Crawford cleaned his divisions for the undisputed, though faint, and Canelo was right until David defeated the remains of Canelo, he did not achieve anything. He did not have recognizable names in his CV before the plant. It should be noted that he defeated Porky and Ronald for these titles. Edge Crawford.

Because boxing is also a business, let’s look at commercial charm. I will say that Crawford and Benavidez can be at the same level when it comes to social observation and range. They are both overshadowed in this department even by Ryan Garcia, not to mention trying to compete with Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford and Benavidez are known in the world of boxing, but apart from it, in the mainstream, it is complex to say whether your average American would recognize any of the men walking on the street. What about the sale of tickets and viewership? Based on the lonely success of PPV Crawford against Errol Spence, Crawford wins this department. Why? Because Benavidez is flattened at the ticket office.

If Crawford is not a guaranteed ticket seller or PPV success, because in addition to his successful Spence fight, most of his commercial fights failed, Benavidez may also fight in his garage on YouTube. The only clear case for which Benavidez deserves a shot in Canelo nad Crawford is a weight problem.

In particular, fans argue that Canelo should not fight the younger medium weight in Crawford, and Benavidez is in her own division. Well, this argument was thrown out when Benavidez decided to leave the division of his Nemesis. Tell me what you want, but this move allowed Crawford to skip the line because David left the line.

Now for the final comparison: money. What earns more money? Canelo vs. Crawford PPV or Canelo vs. Benavidez PPV? It is complex to convince that the fight of Benavidez vs. Alvarez is doing better at the ticket office than Crawford vs. Alvarez. Logistically, observing past data, Canelo vs. Crawford PPV will be more effective at the moment. Based on the numbers themselves, comparing Crawford and Benevidez, Crawford has at least one commercially successful PPV.

Based on evidence, Canelo would have to be a fool to reject the crazy amount of money, which Turks Alalshikh will throw him to face Crawford. In addition, with the endless Turk Alalshikh Funds, which facilitate promote Canelo vs. Crawford, has a much greater chance of commercial success than the fight between Alvarez and Benavidez.

Finally, for Canelo, defeating Crawford will add another pound for pounds, which is also the future Hall of Famer to his CV, only by increasing his heritage. The truth is that Benavidez has a way to achieve this status. Beating Bivol would be the beginning.
