So many young fighters coming up and the new world champions look good..What fighters are you watching and what match ups do you want to see in the future?
When the NBA season was going i barely watched boxing to be honest.
That is why boxing is my favorite is because it is a year round sport. There is always 1 or 2 title fights a month I can get interested in. And I like the international aspect - the fact that you could have a main event featuring men from any continents. And I also like that it is an individual vs team sport. I like that after all the posturing, is only two guys that step into the ring where all will be revealed with a million eyeballs glued on to them.
Loma vs Mikey Garcia
Wilder vs Joshua vs Fury
Spence vs Crawford vs Keith Thurman
GGG vs Saunders
Jacobs vs Charlo
Kovalev vs Stevenson (I still wanna see it, sue me)
Hurd vs Charlo
All of those fights are off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more I want to see
There's always good sh1t going on - specially if you got a global perspective which is easier than ever these days. If there ain't any outstanding A listers, there's always the emerging talent to keep an eye on, and there is always, always, good competitive fights at some level or in some division, somewhere.
Starting to? I thought the reason we're here is because we follow the day to day news. Your devil cleavage never gets old btw.

HW: AJ vs Wilder
CW: Usyk vs Gassiev
LHW: top dogs facing each other
SMW: top dogs facing each other, WBSS
MW: new, young blood taking over
JMW: top dogs facing each other
WW: top dogs facing each other - namely Crawford vs Spence
Loma vs Mikey
Shakur Stevenson
Also, interesting to see if Fury is finished for good, plus in regards to new blood that are exciting at HW, Gorman and Dubois
it's always been this way. the trick is to have all of them fight each other which aint gonna happen.
Yes.
The reality is that fighters, promoters and fans interests are frequently not aligned.
Fighters want to maximise reward and minimise risk
Promoters want exciting fights but predictable results.
Fans want genuine 50/50's and 12 round wars with a crushing KO finish at 2:59 of the 12th round.
The Charlo's have the personality and attitude to go mainstream if they keep winning as does Wilder.
It's to bad Spence and Crawford have zero personality. They will go as unknowns much like Andre Ward despot being p4p level fighters.
I'm mostly invested into Joshua vs Wilder or Povetkin outcome . Joshua rejects 50 million, Wilder accepts the UK, what will happen next? Surely not Joshua vs Povetkin?
WBSS is going to deliver the fights we want at bantam and 140.
Hopefully they will do 175 this season too.
Other fights we need:
AJ v Wilder
Hurd v Charlo
Spence v Crawford
Jacobs v Charlo
GGG/Canelo v BJS
Yeah I'm starting to get interested again.

One of the young fighters I'm really interested in Right Now is Regis Prograis. He's got a Nasty left hand , pretty good defense and can box .
Only down part for him is he's surrounded by guys like Mikey and Crawford . But should be Fun seeing how far he can get
But there's a large pool of talent right now. That cannot be denied.
There is always talent in boxing but still the same doggy promoters and governing bodys so I cant see what will change.
Look how corrupt Fifa is but the sport still functions and grows,
you have multi nationals falling over themselves to be involved.
What does boxing have the same guys over and over again handling promotions events etc, dodgy results, Small Term Bans for PED use, in fact was the BBOC scared of going bankrupt as the furys where suing them to keep case out of papers which they where guilty of. This is all a joke and shows how Micky mouse the sport is.
Yep, so many combinations of good fights, but would they happen?
Look at the upcoming WBSS bantamweight tournament. Four fantastic boxers facing each other, can't wait!
Boxing has never been in a worst state for me , too many governing bodys etc. PED use is rife in the sport, not enough promoters and without doubt one of the most corrupt sports only beaten by Cycling.

The heavyweight division sucks and doesn't look like it'll get better anytime soon
nobody is even close to a prime klitschko level
The heavyweight division is the best its been for decades.
Joshua, Wilder, Parker, Whyte, Ortiz, Fury, Povetkin, Pulev and even slightly lower level guys like Jennings, Martin, Brezeale, Takam, Ruiz, etc. You could see Usyk come up + we've had the Bellew vs Haye fights even though they were really two cruiserweights.
Good prospects with H Fury, Dubois and a few others.
Better than at any time since the 90s.

I like to watch most of all the top 10 in all divisions.
My favs are Spence, GGG, Hurd, Wilder, Gassiev, Loma.
I also like to watch Canelo, Crawford and just recently want to watch more of Dogboe and Inoue.
But like i said any fights in top 10 and im interested.
