    Boxing gets on my nerves. Nobody in boxing is powerful enough to get boxers to fight, boxers call the shots and if theyre demands arent met they dont fight.
    Boxers dont fight as much as the olden days, plus they cherrypick also. Youd think if you are only fighting a quarter of the amount they fought in the past youd need to fight more tough opponents to make up for it.
    Like FLoyd needed to fight THurman, Brook and Spence but didnt. Fury needs to stop messing around and fight Usyk, Josh, Joyce. Its hard but fury only fought 30 odd times. THat applies to Usyk also.
    That's the double edged sword in combat. It's great that fighters make enough money and have some say in things, but it's also what lead to the decline of boxing. Right now in MMA there is a constant debate about fighter pay and their rights. But it's precisely because they are ruled by the UFC that they produce consistently great fights, the best fight the best, there are only a few weight classes like in old school boxing and only 1 title etc.

    Everything that used to be great about boxing is alive in mixed martial arts. Boxing is only great for it's history to me, otherwise yearly I only watch less than a handful of matches live in today's era. The best fights just don't get made so F them.
