    THere is NO MORE RIVALRIES in Boxing anymore WHY?????

    Boxing is a sport and as a sport it needs some goooood rivalries to capture the attention of the general public.

    There were many in the past but now days the top pro's fight like once a year one off and that's it. No more re-matches fight one dude once and end it.

    Think for boxing to get the attention of general public it needs good rivalries. For eg. with tennis right now there is federer - nadal. I live in Australia and believe me when the AO was on EVERYONE was talking bout possibility if fed - nadal final and when it did happen THE GENERAL public was excited and got into tennis.

    That's what boxing needs.

    It also helps having tennis free-to-air unlike fkin PPV!!!!

    Nadal and Federer have no rivalry. Nadal is clearly superior to Federer.

      Pacquiao/JMM definitely qualifies

      If they can somehow hype up the poor refereeing in the first Hatton/Mayweather fight they can create a phony Hatton w/ Daddy Floyd/Mayweather rivalry pretty easily.

          PR vs Mex Rivalry will never die. Both Places will continue to produce boxing greats as long as boxing lives.

              Hatton vs Witter.

              Haye vs Klits will be one for sure.
