Is Artur Beterbiev the best at 175, and can he beat Canelo or Sergey Kovalev?
This is an interesting question, given that Beterbiev, by winning this bout with a decisive TKO and picking up another belt, is now a unified champion, joining the likes of Andy Ruiz, Canelo Alvarez, Julian Williams, Errol Spence, Jose Ramirez, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Danny Roman as boxers who currently hold multiple belts in their respective weight classes.

Ohio State jumps over Clemson to No. 3 in poll
Alabama remained No. 1 on Sunday in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, receiving 24 first-place votes. No. 2 LSU held its place and received 16 first-place votes. The Buckeyes had 13 first-place votes and No. 4 Clemson, the preseason
No. 1 team and defending national champion, received nine. Preseason No. 1 teams commonly relinquish the top spot without losing, but the extent of Clemson's fall is unusual. Clemson has played just one team that was ranked at game time, then-No. 12 Texas A&M, which has since dropped out of the rankings. And the Tigers had a one-point victory at North Carolina, which is currently 3-4.

Charlemagne
Holy Roman Emperor
This is Mariner 10. It was the first probe to explore the planet Mercury - which it did WAY back in 1974.
Now you may ask, "Now Charlemagne, what in God's name does THIS have to do with sports?" The answer? Not a Goddamn thing. It's just that this little tidbit of information is still infinitely more useful and worth sharing than whatever the fuck Blackfoot tries doing in this forum.
