I think I'm losing interest in boxing...

Boxing isn't what it use to be, And Boxing currently isn't all that it could be either! Way to many belts... There should be a super 10 " like a super 6" continually running in all divisions every year..So the best actually fight the best! The fighters would still earn there money the boxing fans don't get ripped ;)

I feel that the best of boxing is behind us. For the first time I didn't care for pacs ppv. I'm just tired of watching over matched opponents fight get beat down against so called best of the sport. Maybe tonight's fight will change my feeling. Anyone else feel the same? This has been a pretty **** year tbh with very few highlights, I could probably list them here (fights that were relevant for whatever reason): Froch/Groves 2 Walters/Donaire Crawford/Gamboa Pac/Bradley 2 I'm finding it difficult to list more just off the top of my head. 2013 was far superior in every way. Hope Khan v Alexender can provide a few fireworks but I'm not holding my breath. However, we've had some breakouts this year, Gonzalez, Crawford and Walters all bode well for 2015 if they take on the fights we need.

Im gonna lose sleep over this...wait who is this again? "peeleft:

^i hope so i have stayed up every time there's a big fight on untill 5 or like last night 6 am. ( uk time ) after seeing that godawful ' fight ' that was chisora v fury i decided to watch the crawford fight in the hope it would be a half decent tear up like some people on here were suggesting instead it was a shut out /mismatch like i expected with a disgusting robbery in the velez v gradovich fight ( which we see again and again and again ) what a terribile year for boxing, 2015 can surely only get better ? or it will continue being another year of mismatches / robberies / politcs /crooked/comical reffs ? boxing is dying :crying:

i kind of agree, i think it's just been a piss poor year for boxing, with politics getting more and more in the way. hence why we are seeing mismatch after mismatch. you know things are pretty ****ed when the fight we are most excited about this year is watching a 49 year old man get beat up. Pretty much, hopefully the Boxing Gods bless us in 2015 like they did in 2013.

yawn :dunno:

I lost interest in boxing during Fury-Chisora but my interest will be back in a hour when I switch over to HBO and watch the Crawford card :boxing:

I have yet to feel that way but I can see where you are coming from OP. I guess what keeps me so motivated is following the weight divisions most casuals would overlook and consider a "niche"(in a niche sport :lol1:). My favorite weight divisions are from 105 to 126, any weightclass above 126 is still great but I'm just not as enthusiastic about them. Another thing is constantly looking up new prospects or fighters from other, much lesser known countries. I love watching fights from Thailand, Japan, Mexico and the Philippines. Not only do they produce world class talents but sometimes you can stumble across a gem on one of those lesser known, more obscure cards. with fighters like Roman Gonzalez, Juan Francisco Estrada, Carlos Cuadras, Zolani Tete, Tomoki Kameda, Vasyl Lomachenko, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Donnie Nietes and many many more constantly feeding my addiction, I think it will be some time before I lose interest in our sport.

Don't worry! Mr. GGG is here and he'll clear things up for you. Keep an eye out for him!

Too many matches haven't made that should of happened May-Pac Kovalev-Stevenson Andre Ward doesn't even fight Golovkin vs other belt holders Light Middleweight top spot held hostage by Floyd IBF WW title = I'm the best here not named Manny or Floyd but they probably wont fight me Danny Garcia's been on the downside lately Featherweight needs unification + RiGODdeaux is sitting just below them Below Featherweight we don't really get any coverage on those fighters at all. Roman Gonzalez is a jewel down there, love the way he creates leverage on his punches. Also the Welterweights aren't fighting each other because there's two P4P kings who haven't fought... they can't ruin their chances of hitting the lottery by fighting each other before that. Great post :headbang:

No I'm not a fan boy of anyone. I was just naming one example of many. I watch all fights. I'm just not happy with the current state boxing is in. I've been a hardcore fan of all fights for the past 10+ yrs. not sure how you get tired of a sport if you been following it super closely for past 10-15 yrs. << fan of futbol and boxing till I die

Tyson Fury/ Chisora should be fun too. Channel? Not ESPN3 please. I cannot get that.

Nah man take tonight for example, Crawford vs Beltran will not disappoint, it's going to be fireworks. The undercard will be good too. Forget Pac and Floyd, there's so much more to boxing than those two. Very good, playboy. Yes indeed. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Major fights are hard to come by in boxing. Which is why you need to join fantasy fights discussions to add some form of enjoyment to it. You won't believe people are actually having fun discussing fantasy fights, which they know will never happen. They're not wondering why they're not happening. In their minds they will eventually happen. In reality, they never will. That's why you have to accept the fact that these hypejobs will most likely fight 3-5 major fights in their careers out of 50 or something. Gone are the round robin types in boxing, ie, winner takes winner, loser takes loser... Instead, you see fighters losing one competitive fight and he's back fighting nobodies. Fantasy fights rule in this sport. Fans like to fool themselves.

Look at the bright side. It can't get much worse than this year. HBO was working with almost nothing for most of the year (no GB and no Haymon fighters) and Showtime was basically a showcase network for Haymon. Espinoza was his puppet and together they made probably the most awful fights that could be made with such talent. This year was absolute garbage. They need to go get Peterson, Ghost, Danny, Broner just throw them in a pot and let em tango. Thats what they used to do two yrs ago. Everyone used to fight eachother. Danny made it this far by luck, I dont know why they want to protect him now and try to build him up. If he is supposed to lose today or tomorrow, then let it be. Shiat losing wont break whatever star power he has. Just throw him in their with Broner already. They can make that fight tomorrow and it will be big af.

Maybe tonight's fight will change my feeling. Anyone else feel the same? I missed this entire year except for the real fights. I watch the Floyd fights he fights very big, strong, young guys despite what people say. I just like seeing him test his skills against these variaties of styles, and no all of them are not plodders. Some of them are flatfooted boxers like Nelo, Ghost is awkward as hell, southpaw swarmer, Ortiz southpaw brawler, Marcos slugger. I watch the Pac fights but not pay for them. He aint been stepping up in a while. I watch the Hopkins fight that was a real fight. I didnt see Algeri fight against Prov, I didnt see any of the hbo and showtime fights except for fights like crawford and gamboa. Aint really been no good fights so I have been losing intrest as well. I remember watching every weekend. Last yr or yr before, every weekend you had peterson fighting, or garcia, or lucas. Like every week it was big names fighting and stacked undercards. Remember before Broner got washed, he was in the mix. Every weekend you had maybe a broner fighting someone and putting on a show. Boxing has completely changed in one yr.

It's this website it kills boxing enthusiasm. ^^^this completely If you stay on this forum for to long with all this negative information that is flowing through your mind then makes boxing become very insignificant. Like everything in life, boxing enthusiasm is best in small doses. If you sit here nightly like I have before it makes boxing seem stagnant. Take a break. Come back to the site in a month and everything will seem different and much more interesting

Haymon is the biggest joke in boxing. Look at the number of fighters he's attracting. They all want easy fights and huge paydays. It's probably fine building up fighters out of scraps, but when you see them fighting scraps consistently, it's becoming a joke and an insult. They lose one major fight, they're back fighting scraps instead of the other Haymon loser.
