De La Hoya Becomes Bob Arum

[ShoulderRoll]

When's the last time boxing fans got a superfight with both fighters in their prime?

Next month when Ward fights Kovalev?

[Anthony342]

Ah yes, true. And before that?

Dela hoya is a huge disappointment. Thought he'd encourage the best fights to happen, instead he's like every other promotor milking a big pay day.

Frankly with mayweather I do not know any weight division to associate him with other than catch-weight. A concept that leonard started when he made the one armed donnie Lalonde boil down to 168 and still claim the 175 pound title.

All since should bow to the great Sugar Ray Leonard for starting and setting the standard with that fight. He was the Grandmaster. Look how many years it took for others to imitate him, yet unable to match his feat. Fighting for two weight classes in the same match!

Also, do any of you know what Mr. Leonard thinks of what Mr. De La Hoya is doing with the career of Mr. Alvarez with the weight deal? Is he proud? Is he amused? How come current day fighters can't fight for two weight classes at the same time? Wouldn't that be perfect for Mr. Golovkin and Mr. Alvarez and make it worth even more money?
