This board is DEAD as well

Jaron Boots used to fight an average of 4x a year. He started in 2016 and fought 8x. The next year (2017) he fought 9x. Five times in 2018. Two times in 2019. Three times in 2020. Two times in 2021. Once in 2022 last year. Last fight was weeks ago. As you can see, his activity went downhill dramatically. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/756515​ Nuff said. Nothing more to say. Any other fighter with similar record? Just wondering how you can find nine bums in a year nowadays.

Fair points. Insults got out of control, politics being used to hijack threads, people with very serious mental and social issues spamming the boards with nonsense...it's a slippery slope and I think it's too late to save this place. I used to visit and post daily - now, not even close. Mods on this forum have done a disgraceful job. Absolute rubbish.

Actually, they were a lot of fun. I consider myself a fan of Pac but just as much as fan of him as I am countless other fighters growing up watching this sport. Pac being the one that got me into the sport. That said, I also thought they were nuts at times but enjoyable. They brought life to this forum and were mostly an uppity crowd who were excited. AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT WHO MADE X AMOUNT OF PPV BUYS. That seems to be all people talk about on the forum these days. Bring back the Pac fans over them any day. I had a different experience. If they didn't agree with you it was constant attacks and the infamous Red K. They were not real boxing fans. They were one rabid fanbase and very sensitive creatures. They hated Floyd with a passion.

What more is there to talk about? I can't even get a handful interested in talking about Ennis' next fight. Whether he will continue to play waiting game like he did last year. In other words, it's become normal for these new breed to wait, wait, wait for the big fights and won't even take stay-busy fights while waiting. This is the legacy left from the previous crop. Invest in time like DaVinci paintings getting bigger in value as they age. It's a marination era where boxers are terrified of losing. Jaron Boots used to fight an average of 4x a year.

Boxing is and forever will be the best sport in the world.

they probably moved on to r/boxing

Boxing has always had ups and downs. When the sport develops the next generation of stars and we start seeing good fights people will come out of the woodwork like they always do. This literally happens like every 10-15 years, you must be a really young fan or you're so old your memory is shot.

Boxing is on life support and this board matches its state. Many old posters predicted this outcome, but they abandoned this place and spared no room for gloating.

They were too much. Good riddance but they kept this board going with topics and discussions and debates. now this forum is ghost! even the lounge used to be cracking, now it's slow ass shiiet.

People have been saying that since I joined in 2010. Always hear about the "good old days." Pretty sure the good old days actually never existed. Lol

I just learned a new word today. Fumiphobia, fear of smoke. some might say that some boxers have that as well

It was never the same once every single news article was a thread, which took over the whole forum. Then topics were getting merged together. But there was big enough differences to warrant different threads. Otherwise a thread ends up with loads of pages, which people just aren't gonna bother with in terms of back/forth actual posting with others.

Ronald Gavril was on the Boston voice podcast couple weeks ago. He said he ducked a fight with Christian Mbili bc he didn't wanna go to France. What a sissy. He had been so inactive for years and he ducks a big payday. Boxers have no balls today

Most of them probably want to go back, but there's not much money in the Showtime coffers. I don't know what mesmerizing rituals Al Haymon did to these people why they won't even attempt to venture out there and look for greener pastures. They waste their primes as if it will always be there for them. I don't think the boxing profession is still as lucrative as it used to be. Well, it is only when you have superstar status, anyways. Even when DAZN was spending money like drunken sailors they won't take advantage of it. I just learned a new word today. Fumiphobia, fear of smoke.

So when are you leaving?

That’s the point lol boxing is ****ed now Yeah my bad i should of read the thread properly before posting i thought he was just talking about the forums not the actual sport itself lol but i guess they are linked to a certain extent. It does suck these "stars" fighting once a year vsing some bum waiting for the biggest cash fights before risking it but i don't strictly think it's just boxing mma is pretty dead atm too imo.

Relax man there is not a lot going on at the moment we are waiting for announcements like Tank vs Garcia, Fury vs Usyk you know how it is we are only in the first month of the year. That’s the point lol boxing is fucked now

yall wanted to get rid of the pac fans so this what yall left with.. They were too much. Good riddance
