Emiliano Vargas: Ryan Garcia’s Callout, Sparring Shakur at 17 & The Bad Bunny Super Bowl Call
<p>Emiliano Vargas pulls up on RING CHAMPS just days after his statement win at a sold-out Barclays Center, and the fastest-rising name in the Vargas dynasty holds nothing back. The undefeated 22-year-old gets real about answering Ryan Garcia’s verbal jab, why he believes Vargas vs. Garcia sells out a stadium.

Crawford vs Mayweather: Who Would Win at 38 & Why Resume Isn’t Everything
<p>Ak and Barak don’t agree on much, and they really don’t agree on this one. In a real-time, unscripted debate, the self-proclaimed biggest Floyd Mayweather fan alive gets pushed to answer the question boxing won’t stop arguing about: is Terence “Bud” Crawford actually better than Floyd Mayweather?<br><br>They break down the resume case for Floyd (the $300M Showtime run, the Pacquiao win, the undefeated record) against the eye-test case for Bud (the Canelo demolition three weight classes up, the switch-hitting power, the dominance at 38 that mirrors his prime). They run the fantasy fight at 38, at 29, and dig into who Floyd really beat versus who Bud was blacklisted from fighting. By the end, even Floyd’s #1 fan lands somewhere he’s never said on camera before.</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br aria-hidden="true">0:48 Setting the Stage<br aria-hidden="true">1:53 Framing the GOAT Debate<br aria-hidden="true">2:51 Floyd’s Close Fights<br aria-hidden="true">4:50 Ad Break<br aria-hidden="true">5:45 The Age Argument<br aria-hidden="true">7:55 Floyd’s Resume Case<br aria-hidden="true">9:24 38-Year-Old Floyd vs. Pacquiao<br aria-hidden="true">11:48 38-Year-Old Bud vs. Canelo<br aria-hidden="true">13:34 Resume vs. Dominance<br aria-hidden="true">15:07 Bud’s Blacklisted Prime Years<br aria-hidden="true">15:50 Does Resume Trump Everything?<br aria-hidden="true">16:54 The Fantasy Fight at 38<br aria-hidden="true">18:03 Can Floyd’s Defense Stop Bud?<br aria-hidden="true">21:24 What About 29-Year-Old Floyd?<br aria-hidden="true">28:47 Could Bud Have Done More?<br aria-hidden="true">30:50 The Perfect Retirement<br aria-hidden="true">32:07 Names vs. Accolades<br aria-hidden="true">34:17 Outro</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
