SSR has been pretty inactive over the past two years or so and the two fights he's had, against lesser opposition, only lasted a total of 5 rounds - this inactivity can only be a good thing for Bam.

As long as Bam doesn't get careless I think his speed, power and skills should carry him through to the win - although SSR does have the punch to make that prediction look silly.

Including Cuadras in the 4 Kings is a bit generous considering (a) he’s 0-3 with a KO loss in these fights, and (b) he never fought SSR.

Could be a good time to rebrand the 3 Diamonds or something, or maybe Bam will get in with Estrada and Choco eventually and be the 4th.

California. Why do you ask? And what’s your opinion of Carlos Cuadras? : )

Are you Mexican or of Mexican descent by any chance? If not Mexican do you like or follow ANY Mexican boxers? Honestly.

Cuadras is a descent fighter but he's personal problems outside the ring will cost him at least his WBC belt.

On my mother’s side (dad’s white). I follow all fighters and used to box myself (never pro), but modeled my style (such as it was) after Chavez. I have great respect for Cuadras as a fighter, but he doesn’t belong in a comparison (even loosely) to any of the four kings (Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Hearns). SSR, Chocolatito, and Estrada are future Hall of Famers (probably). Cuadras has had a respectable career and that’s that.

Wow! You're half Mexican. That's cool although I have to say for Mexican men it really does hurt our pride seeing our Mexican women dating or marrying non-Mexican men. Lol. 😅 Like in boxing we don't like to lose.

Cuadras is good but not in a level of Duran, Leonard, Chávez, Lopez or Sánchez. I don't think he'll make it to that level. Although I still like him as a fighter.
