This New Era Of Boxing - The Generation Of The Scared Figthers

Wow so you make a post about supposedly scared fighters (which is a ridiculous statement in itself) and when you discuss catch weights you don't even mention Pacquiao? Who has employed more catch weights than anyone in recent memory? You just list cotto? I can think of 3 catch weight fights for Pac without even trying. Guess it's ok when he does it right? God forbid Pac is mentioned in any negative light lol. Jesus man. this is whats wrong with NSB.

This is unrelated, but I wish professional boxing would have standing 8 counts.

I think the blame lies a lot on the promoters & managers because they're the ones largely responsible for a fighter's career and most boxers are coming from less than desirable upbringings/situations in life and essentially willing to do anything they're told. Fighters are full of pride, determination & ego so if managers and promoters went to mindsets of decades past than the fighters would follow suit. The fighters are just adapting with the times.

End of the day,I want to watch fights!How they get made,who had to drop what,A side,B side ,make the fight!The funniest part,every poster calling FIGHTERS scared,wishes Mayweather would fight GGG at catchweight!!

The guy who is two years older than #48 waited until 48 was past his prime at the age of 36 and had gotten KTFO by a guy that Mayweather beat easily before Mayweather was willing to fight him. Your comment is more pathetic than the threadstarter's comment I can see you have a brain of a peanut people become wash up and different age spans depending in how many wars they been in.

You forgot how Mayweather waits till fighters are shot before facing them waited 6 years for Pacquiao to become shop worn . He was so worn he had only one functional arm The guy who is two years older than #48 waited until 48 was past his prime at the age of 36 and had gotten KTFO by a guy that Mayweather beat easily before Mayweather was willing to fight him.

Whoa son!Mayweather is older than Pacquaio!Did he know five years ago that he would still not have received a loss or that Pacquaio would? Ortiz and Canelo were ten years younger or more,outweighed him,yet looked lost!If social media were around when Sugar Ray and Hagler fought what then? People are cool when Joe fought Roy and Hopkins but not todays fighters!Foh!

Now a days we have fighters afraid to fight fighters in their own weight class so they rather drain them so they can fight (miguel cotto), now we have fighters scared to move up so they fight in their own weight class (canelo, danny garcia), we have fighters scared to allow commision approved gloves (mayweather, brook), We have fighters who will not leave their hometown and want every advantage in their favor (ward), we have fighters scared to fight another champion in their own division (entire 160lb against GGG). Seems every where we turn its just not a fight anymore where may the best man win type of deal instead its a hybird of flag boxing where everyone gets a trophy. Where to avoid any real contact/damage they change the sport a bit so it can super safe for themselves and they always win. You conveniently left out GGG's name in this comment. In fact, you conveniently forgot to criticize GGG at all since you failed to include fighters who fight nothing but journeymen and glorified sparring partners while calling out fighters who are moving up in weight, but who refuse to move up in weight themselves to fight a legitimate challenger.

This New Era Of Boxing - The Generation Of The Scared Figthers who fight in a cowardly way to do just enough to win

I buy every ppv like an idiot too lol I know man. I always fall for those 24/7 and all access stuff. But like I tell my wife. 70 bucks on a ppv is still cheaper than going to a live sports game and pay for tickets, parking, food and drinks.

Cotto, win or lose probably has the best résumé of anyone out right now. He's at the end of his career, I'm not too upset with what he's doing. Logical poster 101

Cotto, win or lose probably has the best résumé of anyone out right now. He's at the end of his career, I'm not too upset with what he's doing. no one of rational thought or of PR blood should be. the man is making smart moves and he's being vilified for it? man, i'm enjoying this crap today, brother.

Yeah because fighting prime margarito, prime pacquiao and floyd mayweather is the defition of diva. Cotto is fighting out of his weight class and ppl give him **** yet they all praise ppl like andre ward, golovkin, canelo who are 1 division champs calling out guys in smaller divisions. Ward looking for golovking, golovkin looking for cotto and canelo looking for welterweights. Talking **** about the only fighter form our generation who win or lose has fought them all...... Cotto, win or lose probably has the best résumé of anyone out right now. He's at the end of his career, I'm not too upset with what he's doing.

This^^^^ And cotto has been a diva and biatch since 140lb. Yeah because fighting prime margarito, prime pacquiao and floyd mayweather is the defition of diva. Cotto is fighting out of his weight class and ppl give him **** yet they all praise ppl like andre ward, golovkin, canelo who are 1 division champs calling out guys in smaller divisions.

IYou guys are all idiots if by now u dont know what "milking fights" its about.. Cotto is not scared he is just milking the public liek you who will tune in to see him lose. Its the floyd mayweather effect on boxing. Cotto is doing the right thing, more haters = more views. He is having his voluntary defense and then he will fight canelo by the end of year and, if he beats canelo, next june 2016 it will be cotto vs GGG. By now if ure a fan of boxing u should know its all bussiness, if anything blame floyd and pac for their ducking success. milking a fight for 6 years and 5 million PPVs sold. genius. Cotto leared from the best Exactly and Cotto is sadistic about it too. He loves causing these haters to grow sores in their stomachs. Sufre! "Miguel Cotto is going to do what Miguel Cotto wants to do..." < Hater-bait

you, like many others before you don't know what the fok you're talking about. do you remember: "floyd will NEVER fight canelo while in his prime" and "floyd is too scared of paq to ever fight him" or "no one of merit will ever fight the tijuana tornado" you beezies like getting splooged on like this? you enjoy it? Yep. They project their own cowardice..Their own awe over GGG onto Cotto. anyone who knows Cotto, knows he is fearless. He demands respect and will NOT play into the GGG hype game. "Who has GGG fought?" ~ Cotto

The era where there are no rematches after close fights (Canelo-Trout, Canelo-Lara) (Khan-Algieri) because everyone sees Floyd and Pacs status and just want to sprint instead of putting in work. Floyd and Pac put in work Floyd rematched Castillo and Maidana , Pac kept fighting Marquez because of close fights. These guys nowadays don't wanna pay dues.
