First of all, FMJ earned his due at a time when there were just as many true boxing fans as casual fans, today the number of true boxing fans have declined and networks rely on the casual fan to make up the big numbers they are looking for. But even Floyd's numbers are declining , just look at the Guerrero fight. Showtime claims the fight did 1 million PPV buys but to this day still haven't released the actual numbers.
What other cats??? Ward "man'd" up. Lara "man'd" up. Yet GGG is fighting Andy flippin' Lee. I'll continue to say. The only bigger joke than GGG is his fanboys.
Yes, Ward did man up. Lara on the other hand knows that a fight with GGG will never be a reality because of the BS "Cold War." But I have serious doubts that Lara would ever go the distance at 160lbs. He was arguably losing the fight to Angulo and received a gift draw against Carlos Molina. I know most people feel as though GGG hasn't faced anyone of consequence, but I'd argue to the contrary. Macklin is still considered a world class fighter and a lot of people know very little of Curtis Stevens, but he is not a fighter many people are lining up to fight. He is a big Middle Weight and fought at Super Middle Weight. He has a lot of solid wins in his career like Darnell Boone. For those that don't know Boone was the first fighter to put Andre Ward on the canvas, and he is also the one that gave Adonis Stevens his only loss via 2nd round KO.
