far more great fyts will happen next year.
other divs are lining up superfyts among very good and great boxers.
the MW championship is one match worth waiting for.
even fyts among small guys are attractive and very entertaining....
lots of names have good recalls now.

True, the fans want to see fights that interest them. It takes fighters with the balls to fight anyone, for their legacy, for the love of the sport.

**** the love of the sport. if you're not getting paid. no fighter will ever fight for free. this is a dangerous sport and that love for the sport and legacy **** is garbage if you're not getting paid...balls or no balls.

That's bull****...and I'll tell you why.

Ray Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns were all making big dough in the 80s. They had endorsement deals, commercials ads, were recognized heavily by the media and Hollywood. With all that said, those guys ALL FOUGHT EACH OTHER. Everyone broke bread and went to fight another day.

Fighters today get to a certain level and stop challenging themselves.

That's why I always bring up the comparison with Floyd and Leonard. Floyd takes a year and a half off and fights Juan Manuel Marquez. Leonard after a longer hiatus, a risky eye, and his 1st fight at Middleweight comes out to fight Marvin Hagler, the undisputed Middleweight champ...and they all broke bread.

Unless you specifically work as an accountant for a specific fighter, stick to being a fan. We don't watch fights to see fighter's bankrolls.

You speak the truth.

Every fighter goes for the highest pay check, these posters don't know what they're talking about legacy this legacy that STFU.

i would love to see floyd get tested but he'll have to be paid. simple as that. if you ask me to chose between 15million dollars or a legacy fight then i won't have a legacy but i will have 15million in the bank.any boxer that'll fight for free in this deadly sport is a complete idiot and jackass in full throttle.
