Boxing latests news and updates 2020? If you were to look at Kylian Mbappe’s trophy cabinet, you wouldn’t believe he is still only 21 years old. A World Cup, three Ligue 1 titles, and the Coupe de France are just a few of his collective honours. Individually, he’s won the Golden Boy award, the Ligue 1 Player of the Season trophy, and Ligue 1’s top scorer prize. He also has 122 career goals to date already, which is far more than both Lionel Messi (50) and Cristiano Ronaldo (36) had managed by the time they reached the same age. Should he continue in the same fashion, the Frenchman has the talent to surpass both as the modern game’s greatest ever goalscorer, and perhaps even, player.

Remember, my models rate win-win situations higher than distributive ones. Meaning, I would be pushing for a deal to be signed now whether I was working for Watson — who can be retained for two more years on his rookie deal — OR the Texans. Houston made some big moves this offseason, trading away receiver DeAndre Hopkins and signing left tackle Laremy Tunsil to an extension, and the best historical references show that securing Watson now correlates to more wins in the long term. My models rate getting Watson’s deal done this season as almost exactly the same value as the Chiefs extending Patrick Mahomes. When I sort the surrounding offensive casts of the top seven QBs in terms of win-share in my model (including Watson, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Tom Brady), Watson’s current surrounding cast on offense ranks the lowest … by far.

As one of the greatest scorers in the league, James Harden belongs in the top ten. I have been critical of Harden in the past, and I still stand by my critiques of him — he has a history of not showing up in big playoff moments, his signature move is often a travel that he gets away with and getting over ten points a game at the free throw line doesn’t make for compelling basketball. Still, it’s tough to argue with the sheer volume of scoring he is able to pour in every night, and his size and skill makes him very tough to defend. I keep him out of the top five because of the lack of a title and playing style I don’t agree with, but the former MVP belongs here at No. 6.

I’m looking for a Rory who strikes genuine fear into opponents. I’m looking for a Rory who uses his amazing power — he’s been either first or second in driving distance in each of the last four years on the PGA Tour (including the abbreviated 2020 season) — to dominate fields over an extended period of time. I’m looking for a Rory who gets out of the gate early, dons a green jacket, completes the career slam and establishes himself as the best player ever from his side of the pond. McIlroy is the perfect ambassador — he’s easy to root for, he’s considerate, he spends time with adoring fans and he’s as charitable as they come.

Fury may also have to come through a mandatory defence against Britain’s Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KOs), 32, early next year, while Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs), 33, is due a shot at Joshua as WBO mandatory challenger. It is unlikely the belts will get in the way with so much potential money to be made and titles may have to be given up, or deals made, to facilitate making Fury-Joshua in what would likely be boxing’s richest fight since the $400m megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio five years ago. Both need to win their next fights, details of which have yet to be confirmed due to delays caused by coronavirus. WBC champion Fury is due to face American Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), 34, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in their third meeting while WBA-IBF-WBO champion Joshua is lined up to face 39-year-old mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs), of Bulgaria.
