This episode opens with a breakdown of Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, starting with the undercard and moving into the main event. We talk about what really happened in the ring, how much credit Anthony Joshua deserves for the stoppage, and whether the loss actually hurts Jake Paul’s stock and drawing power.
We also run through Jake Paul’s purses throughout his boxing career, looking at how much money he’s generated, how the business model has evolved, and whether this lane is still sustainable.
The conversation then shifts to Terence Crawford’s retirement, which reopened debate about how greatness should be judged in boxing. Crawford retired undefeated and 3x undisputed after beating the top man in his division, raising the uncomfortable question: is that enough? We examine whether legacy is built through long reigns and title defenses, or by beating the best and moving on.
We dive into Crawford’s career being built on climbing, not sitting, why that approach challenges traditional boxing standards, and why his résumé still sparks debate. A rapid-fire comparison to Hall of Fame greats turns the discussion up.
The episode also covers Oscar De La Hoya’s criticism of Crawford’s résumé, the pushback from Bernie the Boxer on the Mill City Podcast, and a breakdown of Bill Haney’s claim that Team Haney has “sent everyone an offer.” We explain why offers don’t always mean negotiations and why in boxing, optics aren’t the same as signed contracts.
