It's an issue that takes place at every level.... Whether it's at the amatuer level, professional level... It's an issue that plagues fighters, coaches, promoters...

The third fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder is set to be posponed due to an outbreak of Covid -19 in the camp of Tyson Fury... I think it's very unfortunate for both fighters, but this may be a silver lining for Deontay WIlder...
The numbers are in from the Davis Vs Barrios ppv. Did he end up being as big as Leonard Ellerbe said he is? I have mixed opinions on the outcome of this..
Madison Square Garden has its long history of boxing events... Teofimo Lopez Vs George Kambosos Jr and Oscar De la hoya might be added to that long list of great boxing cards! The long awaited fight might take place in the hometown of Teofimo NYC, which I feel is a much better sell. There may be one caveat though....
Manny Pacquaio seems to be an ageless wonder... He is a living legend at this point... What else can this man pull off? Errol Spence is a tall task to overcome, but Errol is carrying more on his shoulders than just winning or losing... I think he's carrying the weight of an entire era on his shoulders if he were to be upset by Pacquaio... This might be the most important fight of this era...
The next Generation of talent was on display this weekend... Show time gave us a beautiful show with two of the best up and coming fighters in the 130 and 135 pound weight divisions.
Tank moved up to 140 and captured a title in his third weight class... He stopped Mario Barrios... Does this make him a pound for pound list candidate?
Gervonta Tank Davis is pursuing a title in his 4th division.. The young star is looking to add to his young legacy.... I know Barrios did struggle against a lefty in his last outing against one, but Is Tank cherry picking the wrong guy? Listen and you'll hear what I think is going to happen..
The 135 lb division seems to have so many questions to be answered.... Lomachenko is back in action for the first time since his loss to the takeover.... He is taking on a true warrior in Masayosi Nakatani.... Will he win over back everyone? Will he earn a rematch with his new nemesis Teofimo Lopez?
Lomachenko did one interview where he was spewing out a bunch of excuses and conspiracy... In this interview, Loma had a bunch to say and I am very happy with what I am hearing. He touches on several topics, 135 and the current state of youtube/tiktok boxing....
Top Rank had a showcase card of some of its best talent out there... Shakur Stevenson was up against a formidable opponent... Jose Pedraz Vs Julian Rodriguez... Xander Zayas continues his development..
Devin Haney Stepped up in competition and took on his first true test... Was this a masterclass? or Did Devin Haney get exposed?
Manny Pacquaio was playing opponent roulette... There were many names that were thrown out for him.... Finally, He has found one... and He might be in for his toughest test!
The Mega fight between Jose Ramirez and Josh Taylor is upon us. I give you my prediction for the fight!

Please go and support Chris! Instagram: chris_jenkins_rnr
I recap the Canelo fight and I think it is safe to say there is not a solid answer when asking Who can beat Canelo Alvarez? I have also been hearing a bunch about If Billy Joe Saunders quit? I answer all of this in this episode..
The card for Mayweather Vs Paul has been finalized! The card is surprisingly good! The card has forced Triller to move their June 5th card!
The big fight is finally here! Canelo Vs Billy Joe Saunders the full predictions and breakdown. I have watched 9 days of nothing but Billy Joe and Canelo fights... and I wanted to take my time on this one! If you're not following the youtube for The podcast, I ask you do! I have video episodes daily over there! I am doing a better job of posting these up on a daily now!
The major fight between Chisora Vs Parker this weekend. The implications are major as someone who's shared the ring with him before is also in action. Is Parker Vs Ruiz next? If both guys win their fights.
The major announcement of Floyd Mayweather Vs Logan Paul is set to take place on June 6th.... The timing is not coincidental... I think Mayweather's timing and I do not mean boxing is perfect!
The Bronze Bomber released his first picture of him with his new camp and trainer Mailk Scott. Will he be the key to the return of the bronze bomber? I hope Deontay gets it together!
You've heard the rumors about the Pacquaio Vs Crawford fight...Well... The fight is dead... Yet, I did not expect this fight to be made.... Spence VS Pacquaio in July?
Top Rank returns and showcases some of the very good talent. Edgar Berlanga is looking to extend his preposterous 1st rd knockout streak. There is going to be some very good fights this weekend.
Andy Ruiz is back and looks better than ever with him being the newest addition to the Canelo Team. Can Canelo make Andy Ruiz great again?
I think the case can be made that everyone is against Triller.... Mayweather Vs Logan Paul apparently is set for June 5th, which just so happens to be the date of Teofimo Lopez Vs George Komobosos.... It's also rumored that Pacquaio and Crawford will be fighting the same day.... Wow! Triller has made some real enemies... I doubt it's true, but damn....
Boxing is busy and I wanted to share with you some of the things I find very exciting.. Fury Vs Joshua has a location... Gervonta Davis is coming back and moving up to 140 in search of a title. Plus, Jermell Charlos is looking to unify all of the belts at 154!
Demetrius Andrade has claimed no one wants to fight him... Liam Williams stepped up and got dominated.... Yet, he did reveal some things that showed me he may not be able to handle the upper echelon of fighters in the division... GGG, Charlo, Canelo... I do not know if the boogeyman narrative is real...
The two finally meet face to face down in Miami. Teofimo Lopez and George Kombosos were all about business during this press conference... Triller Fight club is here to stay! This press conference got HEATED!
I give you the 4 simple things Jake Paul can do to be victorious Saturday against Ben Askren!
The self proclaimed boogeyman of the division is back in action.... He's taking on the man out of the UK Liam Williams... I don't think Andrade has had a true test yet.... I think that changes this weekend... Enjoy!
The Triller Fight Club is back in action this weekend when Jake Paul Takes on Ben Askren. I thought it would be cool to play devils advocate and give some things Ben Askren can do to win the fight. Enjoy!
Manny Pacquiao has begun light training in the phillipines... He's working with Buboy and Nery who are working with Manny, until he gets back to Freddie Roach..Apparently, one of Manny's trainers let the cat out of the bag about who Manny will fight in Abu Dhabi.... If he pulls off the upset, is he one of the goats?
In my previous episodes, I had mentioned that Ryan Garcia kept proclaiming different fighters were next for him... He mentioned Manny Pacquaio, Gervontae Davis.. I was right about who he really was going to fight. Ryan Garcia also calls out Devin Haney.. 135 is going wild..
Tyson Fury went on the the Behind the gloves boxing channel and gave a very solid interview... The Gypsy King had a lot to say and touched on the fight with Anthony Joshua and Canelo Vs Billy Joe Saunders... Enjoy!

If you want the video version of this podcast, Please support the youtube channel... Good Boxing Podcast
Jaron Ennis Boots had his first real test at 147 and to say that he passed it is an understatement! I love when talent and the truth meet!.. what's next for the prospect/future world champ?
I am a major fan of teofimo lopez... I am totally fine with trainers seeking help whether publicly or privately.... I just have a problem with a trainer of the year publicly seeking the help of another trainer... when he has one fighter... I explore the topic and give you my opinion..

Mike Tyson recently said that over the next two years he wants to fight a total of 3 times and then ride off into the sunset. The mike farewell tour began when he fought in an exhibition with Roy Jones jr.. I am very happy for the man that has done so much for the sport of boxing!
Manny Pac is evidently going to fight Terrence Crawford in a mega clash of titans at 147. Terrence Crawford is going to come into the fight as a favorite in this fight.... I think pandemonium will ensue if somehow the 43 year old Pac wins this fight... Will it be Spence? or is there a big fight...
Ryan Garcia is undoubtedly one of the most popular fighters in boxing. He's marketed himself brilliantly using guerilla and viral tactics. So, this announcement is another way to continue to the Ryan Garcia hype after his brilliant fight with Luke Campbell. Yet, we have been hearing many different names... Will it be Pac? Will it be Tank? The answer is no!
Jaron Ennis takes his first exam this weekend... Sergey Lipinets is his first step up fight... Will He pass? 147lbs is the deepest division in boxing... Will both of these men solidify themselves as true 147lb contenders? This fight might surprise you..
The fight between Frampton and Herring really wasn't as close as people thought it would be. Herring destroyed Frampton with a 2 knockdown stoppage.... Who should Herring fight next?
Oscar Delahoya has his first big name calling him out for his comeback. Roy Jones Calls out the goldenboy. This is certainly a fight I would like to see, but I have a fight that no one really is talking about... I think the fight makes perfect sense for both fighters.
Bob Arum is sending a message to Teofimo Lopez and terrence Crawford... The Veteran Promoter doesn't let what he feels as disrespect off easily... He is literally willing to cannibalize his own fighters cards to send that message...
The boxing world is seemingly full of entertainment fights... Exhibition galore... I don't know how I feel about it, but who am I ?
DIlian Whyte finished his unfinished business... He crushed Povetkin and completely pulled his stock out of the gutter... This version of Dilian Whyte honestly can give any heavyweight issues... Who do you want to see with Whyte next?

Canelo Alvarez and Mike Tyson will always be straight fire....Canelo coming off a dominant two performances has began the major promotion for his fight with BIlly Joe Saunders... Eddie Hearn in my opinion is positioning Canelo to become a bigger star.. I did not think that was possible... Enjoy the episode.
The biggest fight since Mayweather Vs PAcquaio is on the horizon! Fury Vs Joshua needs no explanation since it is for all of the marbles! I just do not think it is going to be close....
We lost a legend this weekend with the passing of Marvin Hagler... I give a 10 second moment of silence.... Estrada Vs Choco was a battle where the gentlemen didn't fall short at all of what they promised.... I do not know if the right person got nod here though....
If you didnt watch, Breakhaus Vs Mccaskill was close matchup.... The rematch was almost a carbon copy of the first fight..But this time, Mccaskill killed Breakhaus... Breakhaus was an undefeated champion before teaming up with abel Sanchez.. I thought maybe Abel got caught off guard tactically the first time.... This time, I saw abel's ego get in the way...
The First lady of boxing is back in action... This time she's no longer looked at as the favorite or the forgone conclusive favorite. Jessica Mccaskill killed all of the hype by shocking and raining on the parade of the first lady.... Will the same happen again? I give all of the context needed and I give you my prediction for the fight... Enjoy!
Devin Haney is reported to have 3million reasons to fight Jorge Linares. We will finally get to see one of the to talents at 135 in action against someone formidable.. David Benavidez is back on the road to regaining a title and potentially a shot at dethroning the Pound for pound king. Canelo Alvarez
I promised that I would get more guests on the Podcasts after episode 100... I was able to secure one of a really good guest.

Canelo Vs Billy Joe, Tyson Fury Vs Anthony Joshua, and women's boxing. If you want to see the full video, feel free to watch on the GOODBOXINGPODCAST youtube channel.
I touch on certain aspects of Women's boxing that I hate... The sport is very different than the Men's boxing game.... I mention why and then give some suggestions on how to improve the game... I find it extremely frustrating....
Claressa Shields bet on herself and decided to have the first all Women PPV.... What is next for the Gwoat...
I finally was able to fulfill my promise of bringing on a guest to the podcast.... This guest wasnt particularly happy with take on Gervonta Davis.. Sit back relax and enjoy... We touch on a bunch of other topics as well.
I am aware that the age of social media has changed the way fights are promoted.... I cannot comprehend what's going on right now... i have had enough...
Events are seemingly picking up steam... Pac's opponent speaks out... Andy Ruiz is back in action for his first test with the services of Eddie Reynoso... Devin Haney may have just talked himself in to a Lomachenko fight.
It's been months since the pandemic started and this mega fight was postponed.... Well, the fight will finally take place... Who wins? I also have a crazy early prediction for Trainer of the Year..

Canelo crushed his WBC mandatory and really sent a message to everyone... Triller is shaking up the boxing world with the comeback of Antonio Tarver announced... Is Tyson/ Holyfield about to happen again?
Teofimo and Bob Arum have been at odds about Money... I mean what's new? Boxers and promoters seem to always have issues with this.... SEEMs like Bob Arum has had issues with every top fighter in his stable.... The IBF decided that a purse bid should be made and Bob Arum was pushing for one as well... The only thing was, he didnt think what happened next would happen......
Canelo fights tonight on Dazn...Avni Yildirim hired Joel Diaz to help with the tall task of defeating the pound for pound champ... I am not going to lie... This was a struggle, but given the fighter I have. I try my best to come up with a solution...
Junior Fa had his first step up fight against his fellow country man Joseph Parker... I thought the fight was competitive and fun... The fight is getting a little tainted by a questionable card... I breakdown the fight and share the implications on the division.
Tyson Fury hasn't put on the gloves in over a year.... Since the destruction of Deontay Wilder, rumors have been circulating that a fight with Anthony Joshua is a done deal... Tyson Fury decided to express that he does not want to go into a fight with Joshua coming off a long layoff.... Is another hurdle developing in making this fight?
The ratings for the live telecast of Adrien broner vs Jovanie Santiago and the mega event of Valdez VS Berchelt are in... Who won? and what does this mean for AB going forward?
Josh Kelly was a touted prospect... After his loss to David Avanesyan, is he ruined? Did Adam Booth make the right decision? Hindsight is always 20/20 of course, but I wanted to revisit and discuss what I saw and how I feel about it.
Canelo Alvarez , the perennial pound for pound king is back in action this weekend against Avni Yildirim. This is the fight before his May clash with Billy Joe saunders... Does Canelo actually have a chance to lose... And are people right about Canelo being a cherry picker?
Adrien Broner made his very anticipated return to the Squared Circle... Some people were not too happy with his performance and felt he received a gift decision.... I do not know if I agree too much with that sentiment... Plus, Otto Wallin fought a very formidable and eager Dominic Braelzeale...
Oscar Valdez sends a message to the world.... He heard all of the doubters... I give a complete breakdown of what made the KO happen and I touch on all of the implications of the win!
On Showtime tonight, we have the big return of Adrien Broner! There is also the return of the big boys Otto Wallin and Dominic Breazeale. We are in for a big fight night... I give a breakdown and a pick on some of these cross roads fights.
No one can deny the raw skills of Josh Kelly. The kid is has the goods. He has struggled at times to translate those skills on the highest levels yet... David Avanesyan is exactly the kind of fighter that can push the young stud... Will David shock the world? or will PBK show why all of the hype is warranted?
I have watched so many fights of these guys to make a pick.... I flipped and Flopped so many times... See Who I have... Regardless, Enjoy the fight.
I came across a couple of boxing podcasts and news pundits that are just at this point....are being ludicrous...
Deontay Wilder has made his fair share of accusations on Tyson Fury and Mark Breland. It is finally nice to hear him speaking about wanting to fight again! Is he back in the right frame of mind?
JoJO Diaz is a fantastic talent. He shocked a lot of boxing pundits when he defeated the slick Philadelphia fighter Tevin Farmer... This was supposed to be a tune up showcase for the newly crowned champion.... What we got instead was far from that.
This weekend Richard Commey silenced all of the doubters including myself. His crushing knockout of Jackson Marinez sets him up for a bunch of good fights at 135lb... With Loma Back in action soon, and his want to rebuild his stock, Is Commey next?
The 135 lb division is the hottest boxing division in the world. The fight between Marinez and Commey is huge!
I am very excited to hear that Lomachenko is thinking of getting back in the ring!!! Also, What's going on at Top RANK? Even Teofimo is having issues?!! Canelo officially creates his own promotional company!
Hate him or love him, Adrien Broner has a very interesting story. He has all of the goods in terms of ability in boxing. The problem brings you on the journey. This one is really on the longer side so sit back and enjoy :)
Devin Haney is a promising 135lb champion... He has it all, speed, defense, skills... Yet, the resume is no where near that of some of the other guys at 135. Devin Haney's dad recently retired as his head trainer... Does this mean that Floyd Mayweather is his new trainer? Floyd is one of the best pure boxers ever, will he become one of the best trainers ever?
Mike Tyson vs Holyfield was being discussed prior to his return vs. Roy Jones. Iron Mike had a very successful event and now talks of a third mega fight with Holyfield is circulating... People are mentioning a 100 million fight... I get sold very easily on anything Mike late 80's or 90's LOL. Is it a fight we need to see?
Anthony joshua can seemingly do no wrong... More and more Anthony Joshua is growing in all aspects of his life. I touch on his video that he released about his training camp with Pulev.
The Deontay Wilder saga continues... After Months and months of excuse after excuse, Mark Breland finally lashes out at Deontay Wilder in an interview. Deontay Wilder responds right away...
The Boxing world is just insane right now with the progression of so many fights and antics... More Mayweather, Canelo, Usyk, and ther ghost of Austin Trout.....
Just when people thought Floyd Mayweather finally took his first loss because of the postponement of his fight with Logan Paul... Little did they know, Floyd would completely drop a bomb of an announcement... I give my thoughts on the true implications of content fights...
Shockingly, Bill Haney decided to step down as Devin Haney's trainer... Cinco de mayo week has two potential mega fights going head to head....Plus, is Fight night back?!
Caleb Plant dominated Caleb Truax and had the boxing world buzzing. There are people out there that weren't too impressed with his performance. They feel it was more of a product of competition and they would like to see him set up with much stiffer competition... David Benavidez says "He cant bust a grape and would lose to Canelo". I give my thoughts on the topic.
In a shocking plot twist, Errol Spence's live gate ended up surpassing the pound for pound King Canelo Alvarez'... Is Spence the new Cash cow of boxing? Tank also was one of the biggest live gate producers of 2020. I give my take and look deeper.
With Pacman out of the way as WBA Champion, Yordenis Ugas is now chamnpion. Ugas is a PBC fighter and is not one to shy away from a big challenge.... He is now propelled into the conversation of a huge fight with Errol Spence... A fight with them two would result in a unification of 3 belts, which would be huge for either fighter's legacy. This would also provide clarity as to who is the top dog in the division.. Crawford would have a little less of an argument that he is the best in the welterweight division...
Manny Pacqauio is the undoubtedly one of the biggest names in boxing... He certainly has given much to the sport of boxing. It's been two years since he fought Kieth Thurman, The WBA felt it was time to strip him of his super champion distinction. Is it necessarily a bad thing for Pac?
Caleb Plant and Truax engaged in battle Jan 30th. I touch on the fights that took place and give a little context into what is possibly next for Caleb Plant.
The boxing calendar is heating up and with a lot of moving pieces, I wanted to touch on the progress being made. Canelo VS Saunders, Fury vs Joshua, Spence Vs Crawford, and more!!!
Caleb Plant engages in battle with Caleb Truax this saturday. I thought it would be fitting to talk about the life in the ring and outside the ring of Caleb Plant. One of the Kings of the 168 lb division.
Mike Tyson had Teofimo Lopez on his podcast Hot Boxin. I give you guys the gist of more or less what happened. This interview is a really good one as Mike really knows what this young 23 year old champ is going through.
Jake Paul is seemingly here to stay. After disposing of Nate Robinson in viral fashion, Jake Paul has decided to fight against former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Some of the complaints against Jake Paul, was that he fought someone who had never boxed or fought before.. Now he's deciding to step in with someone who has entered the octagon... Ben Askren should be able handle Jake Paul right?
Floyd Mayweather recently wrote that he feels people hate him and yet they celebrate others for the same things... He wrote that Conor Mcgregor essentially copied his blue print and is getting loved for it. He says this is an example of how Racism still exists today...I explore this topic.
With Conor Mcgregor getting Knocked out by Dustin Poirier, I think any chances of a fight with Pac are dead... Apparently, people are not really thrilled at seeing Floyd Vs Paul and rumor is that the fight will be postponed... Just when I thought things would settle down, Ryan Garcia announces he is going to fight Pacquiao?
I recap all of the fights on the showtime fights this weekend. What a good way to get good boxing back in action.
With Connor back in the octagon, I have heard the rumors of MCgregor vs Pacquiao for the WBA belt in the works... Both are promoted by similar management and I think the fight would generate a lot of buzz and hype.... But the magic question is, Do you think Mcgregor Vs Pacquaio should happen? I give my thoughts on it.
Super bantamweight does not get the most shine, but tonight... I think were in for a real treat. Stephen Fulton is a really slick boxer, but Angelo Leo is someone who brings a bunch of volume.. Victor Pasillas vs Aleem is also a great clash of styles.. I am happy boxing is back!
I wanted to move on from the Lomachenko vs Lopez fight... Lomachenko is a great talented fighter.... I thought the whole boxing world would move on, but he seemingly cannot..
The biggest fight in the world is a done deal according to Eddie Hearn and the handlers of Tyson Fury. The venue is TBA. Usyk was standing in the way of a potential mega fight, as he refused to step aside from his mandatory fight with Anthony Joshua. The WBO clearly knew this couldn't be allowed and they are ordering a fight between Joyce and USYK,
After running through the Matchroom stable, Eddie Hearn was able to sign the biggest name in boxing. However, I am excited with all of the potential fights to be made in the 168lb division.... Sergey Kovalev's fight is off and Adrien Broner's fight is getting pushed back to a later date..
There was seemingly some movement towards Terrence Crawford maybe fighting Keith Thurman...Keith Thurman has made it known that Bob Arum has to do better to get a fight with him.. He also gives his opinion on Crawford.
In boxing, we often wonder why we do not get the fights we want.... The best should fight the best no? In every other sport, we get the best going against the best, but in boxing it seems like all we get is a bunch of mismatches that kind of do not make sense....Why is that?
Oscar Valdez Vs Miguel Berchelt is coming up and we have a bunch of formidable names back in action. We have the anticipated 4th comeback of Adrien Broner, the comebacks of Otto Wallin and Robert Easter. Boxing is back and I am very happy :)
In a recent interview on Barbershop Conversations, Bob Arum spoke on a bunch of topics ranging from Tyson Fury to Terrence Crawford... I share with you what was said and my thoughts on them.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are trying to become the undisputed king of the heavyweight division.... They want to put all of the belts on the line for glory.... Only problem is... Aleksandr Usyk refuses to allow his mandatory status to be ignored for the WBO. Which could potentially strip Anthony Joshua of the WBO belt... I come up with a way all parties can be happy.... Why is Usyk trying to get in the way of what the fans want and history?
Haney is feeling the pressure a bit and is gunning for Teofimo Lopez... The undisputed champ is entertaining his taunts and criticisms.... Should he even bother? It is smart of Haney to do so, but I break down my thoughts on if he should..
I respect everyone who gets into the ring. You and your opponent are both winners for walking out of the ring alive... But, how do you feel about fighters giving excuses when the fight didnt go their way? Nothing was mentioned prior to the decision or stoppage... Do you find it valid? Do you lose some respect for the fighter?
In boxing, we often hear stories of men and women that change their lives with boxing... Gervonta Davis is a young man that comes from very humble beginnings.. No matter who you support in the Fab 5 it is tough to ignore what this young man has done at the tender age of 26 in boxing.
Yesterday in Ep 59, I touched on how there were not any fights or big news events in boxing.... I had no clue that we would be given such a treat..... A twitter conversation seemingly will give us one of the most important fights of the year.
After the hot start to the year, there is a lull in the action until the end of the month. The boxing world is still a live with a bunch of fun and exciting news! Enjoy the Good News!
Ryan Garcia is Oscar's golden boy with the departure of Canelo. Who will be next in line for the Ryan Garcia sweepstakes? He's one of the most popular stars in boxing and might be the biggest name in the lightweight division. Will Tank be next? Or do Mauricio Sulaiman and Devin Haney have something up their sleeve?
The 135 lb division has a king.... Teofimo Lopez... Yet, there are multiple viable contenders looking to dethrone him. The division has become a real life game of throne... Several Diifferent promoters and young stars in the making are battling.
Ryan Garcia had nothing but social media credentials and good looks...After this fight, Ryan Garcia showed that all of the hype was real... He dusted himself off after getting knocked down and gave Luke Campbell the worst beating of his career....
