Boxing is in a pretty lame state ATM.

Heavyweight Division - Now that Joshua got the belts back and Ruiz proved that his win was just a fluke the chances of us seeing the belts unified is -10%. I doubt we will even get Fury/Wilder 2 as Fury seems to be losing interest in boxing again. Canelo has no interesting opponent at the moment outside of getting Andre Ward to come out of retirement. GGG is too old now and will probably get embarrassed in a 3rd fight. Welterweight is the weakest it's been in years but it's not that bad when you consider we basically just finished a Golden Age in that division. Still the chances of us ever seeing Crawford vs Spence is probably as high as seeing Wilder v Joshua. In other words it's never gonna happen. Lomachenko has the same problem as Canelo he doesn't seem to have any interesting opponent to go up against. Pretty much Inoue and Estrada are the only fighters worth looking into as far as the near future is concerned.

Not many exciting fights/fighters. Too many boxers trying to mimic the Mayweather strategy of being “undefeated.” That’s why elite fighters duck each other instead of going heads up like back in the day.

How in tf is Ward the only interesting opponent when Canelo is apart of the reason Andrade is the most avoided fighter in boxing? DSG, Thurman, ESJ, Porter, Bud, (Pacquiao) this is a great era of WWs. How many of these guys have already fought each other? Lomachenko was just tested in his last fight. That wasn't a walkover opponent smh. The competition is there, it's whether or not the fights will get made. You acting like Lomachenko or Canelo are stopping guys in the 1st round or 12-0 ppl.

I agree about Canelo, no interesting fights for him on the horizon GGG is done, ginger would trash him in a third fight Beterbiev and Bivol are too big and too powerful, it'd be a mismatch I used to think Callum Smith would be great a challenge, but after watching his last fight, im not sure anymore. Same goes for Saunders I dont favor anyone at 160 to beat ginger, who'll probably never fight again at that weight anyway so yeah, what's next for the face of boxing?? he has to somehow coax Ward out of retirement.

I’m sad to say I’m almost not even a boxing fan anymore. I’m not a fan of these new apps, ppv is way too high priced for unworthy matchups, we don’t get the fights we want, etc. Plus the board is at an all time low with people fanboying over promoters or networks and how much money fighters make.

Yeah, the match making is just getting worse every year it seems. I think we're finally feeling the effects of HBO being gone perhaps.

Yeah, it's not great. I still tune in for the odd big fight i.e. 3-4 per year, but that's about it.
