Full of nothing but clout chasers and shitty performances. Even when the best do fight the best it becomes some boring shitfest. Compare Fury Usyk to Holyfield Bowe (all 3 fights) and tell me boxers are now athletes and not fighters anymore. Now we have people defending proven drug cheats. Sad. Boxing is DEAD.
Era is garbage. Fury got beat by a ufc fighter (and you are comparing his sloppy skills to bowe) usyk got knocked down by a B class fighter and they called it a illegal shot. Ryan garcia talks crap all day on Twitter vs focusing on his skill set. Haney is a pitty patter that can't crack a egg and has glass for a chin. More focused on jelry buying then improving punching power. No big fights happen when we want them and if they do its too late and possibly the other guy has to be half dead from a car wreck (spence crawford) No canelo benividez. No tank lomachenko, no boots vs crawford, social media followers is more important then skill set....people talk on twitter more then actually fighting (shakur) this is a trash era and anyone who denies it need serious help.
The fact you called Artem a taxi driver shows you are a no nothing casual fan that probably knows more about the types of Pringles made in other countries than boxing.
He is a taxi driver no matter how much you want to deny it and hype up this lame fight. We’ll see how many ppv buys it does lmao. It’s gonna turn into a de los santos repeat where people were caught sleepin in the crowd
Blacks weren’t the only ones burning down this country after that criminal George Floyd got himself killed.
Stop racebaiting. My people earn a lot of money. Unfortunately they also vote DemoRAT.
The USA? lol that’s my country. Same country you people want to burn and loot.
Buddy my parents are hard working ameircan citizens. Mine came here via visas. Stop race baiting i’m not even black.
I agree he’s also oretyyy good. And again, he’s not a social media warrior.
Crazy how all social media boxers tend to be the worst in the ring. I personally think ryan garcía, haney, etc would get whooped on by some amateurs i know in sparring.
If you know Amateurs them you also know Sparring is waaay dofferent then a actual fight.
So yeah.
Maybe they would do good Sparring but lets not confuse that for an actual fight.
No mention of " The Monster " Inoue in any of your post ?
Yet his fights are arguably more entertaining than the 3 fighters you mention.

LMAO if i’m expected to pay fights, as a fan, then i have every right to expect a good fight, instead of some boring snoozefest which is 90% of boxing fights at the elite level now. Only three boxers have been entertaining and fun to watch: Crawford, Usyk, and Loma. Everyone else either cherry picks or just flat out sucks

Yeah boxing sucks now, you have organizations like PBC aka Protecting Black Cherrypickers that protect and coddled their fighters to have them fight once a year against in house bums.
then you have the “imma protect muh 0” fighter that thinks they’re the next Gayweather and does everything to protect that “0” and doesn’t challenge himself.
which leads to the 30 year old prospect, guys like Stank, Andrade, Shakira Stevenson, who are close to 30 and have terrible resumes.
and the marinate fighters, Bivol/Beterbiev should’ve happened 5-6 years ago, instead Bivol is fighting a can and Beterbiev about to get his AARP card, Spence/Crawford also should’ve happened 5-6 years ago, all Crawford did was fight a one eyes weight drained zombie.
Gayweather ruined the sport with his demands, handy capping opponents, waiting out opponents and his PED use that got everyone emulating him.
Mayweather owns your entire country. Suck it kid.
You claimed hes a "taxi driver" lol. To anyone with enough brain cells to rub together hes clearly not that. Hes a notable amateur whos only pro L was to a top ten indie ranked boxer that was considered controversial to most & even a straight up robbery to others.
You aren't helping your case on being a casual or knowing about boxing. Just go watch a sport you enjoy & understand more than boxing.
The fact that you think Olympic experience means anything is extremely laughable and shows ur a modern day boxing fan who defends bums like ryan garcía (a glass jaw PED quitter whose only famous cuz he’s a prettyboy and we all know how females worship him).
Further proof you are a casual or dksab. Artem is an Olympic bronze medalist.
LMAO bros accusing of not knowing shit about boxing but then goes on to claim olympic medals as significant to professional boxing ☠️. Y’all are the same people to claim Mike Tyson’s win against Tyrell Biggs, An Olympic gold medalist, was a bummy victory.
If you think only 3 guys are fun to watch you are a casual fan or dksab. Maybe both.
These are the only three guys fighting the most. They also are the ones who unironically yap the least.
Look at all the biggest yappers online:
Ryan García? Glass chinned PED user and quitter
Devin Haney? Glass chinned Weight Bully
Tank Davis? fights once a year
Shakur Stevenson? Fighting a literal cab driver in june
I don’t see crawford talking all that shit literally reposting a million pictures of his fight with errol spence, and he’s 1000000000 times the fighter that son of a literal 304 ryan glassia who literally made a devin haney diss track over his mid af win, where the knockdowns literally saved him.
"Boxing is dead" is a meme at this point.
Fury - Usyk was a great fight.
This is the only fight i actually enjoyed watching. The other being spence crawford last year. Every other fight was a mismatch or outright ass.
in 1976 Muhammad Ali fought a Japanese wrestler who laid on the ground kicking at him the whole match.
1.4 BILLION people watched it, and were furious how bad it was.
That was a real garbage era too, right?
You are comparing a famous boxer fighting an exhibition to a content creator who is fighting retired a fighters and 50 year old senior citizens and claiming he’s the face of boxing, WHILE MAKING REAL MONEY OFF IT.
As far as I'm concerned Boxing is by far the best, most exciting and interesting sport there's ever been. There's been plenty of great entertaining fights this year and every other year in the past. There's so many great fights that have happened in recent times that I couldn't even name them all here. Even ProBox TV had some great fights recently. People love to view the past with rose-coloured glasses. Every generation eventually gets to the point where they stop growing and lose interest in life and the excitement of new things. Those are the people who claim that things are worse than they used to be...New music sucks, new fighters suck, new technology sucks, new cars suck....Everything old is good, everything new and modern is cheap and second-rate. We're all prone to nostalgia...,but the idea that the past is greater than the present is a delusion of epidemic proportions.
Only one good fight this entire year.
There are plenty of good fights out there nowadays (especially if you enjoy competitive matchups among the 2nd and 3rd tier fighters). We like to look back at the past and remember the good fights. They weren't all like that.
I remember as a kid sitting down to watch Michael Olajide versus Tommy Hearn's. What a snoozer....there were lots of fights "back in the day" that were tedious.
Most of Alis fights were absolute trash too. 15 round jab and hug contests. The veneration of the past needs to stop its not like these guys were more exciting.

Boxing is not dead, but as long as we have more "celebrityesque" fighters going at it, you're not going to see the brutal matches of the past. The desire to put yourself through hell to win one match just doesn't seem to be there anymore for fighters these days. The payouts are so high, some of these guys can nearly retire once they face 1 named opponent. Why would they subject themselves to a brutal war? The mentality is certainly not what it used to be. The Barrera-Morales, Vasquez-Marquez, Gatti-Ward type of minds are a thing of the past.
Too many smart investments are being made
