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?

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.

Ak & Barak are back to break down the most stacked stretch of the boxing calendar, and they are not holding back. This is a full state-of-the-sport conversation built around one argument: boxing is thriving louder than ever, and the next two weeks prove it.

The guys preview Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs Antonio Vargas as Bam moves up to chase Naoya Inoue, Boots Ennis vs Zander Zayas at 154, Abdullah Mason’s hometown title shot against Joe Cordina, and Errol Spence Jr’s comeback against Tim Tszyu. Then it gets spicy: Barak predicts Anthony Joshua knocks out Tyson Fury to become a three-time heavyweight champion, they crown Shakur Stevenson the best fighter in the world, and they debate Canelo Alvarez’s next move with Benavidez, Jermall Charlo, and even Errol Spence on the table.

Ak & Barak settle it once and for all: the 10 greatest knockouts in boxing history. From Juan Manuel Marquez’s ice-cold finish of Manny Pacquiao to George Foreman reclaiming the title at 45, Canelo’s highlight-reel destruction of Amir Khan, Tommy Hearns vs Roberto Duran, Julian Jackson’s one-punch power, Tank Davis, Michael Carbajal, and yes, Jake Paul’s knockout of Tyron Woodley making the cut. The guys rank their personal top 5 each, argue over who got robbed of Knockout of the Year, and debate which finish is truly the scariest of all time.
