Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Says Fury-Usyk Winner Will Be The New Face Of Boxing

[Left Hook Louie]

Maybe instead of arguing over who the new face of boxing is, we can discuss who the ass of boxing is.
Oh, wait, there would be so many deserving candidates.
Never mind, carry on.

Comical LOL.. no one is checking for this fight in USA LOL..

Ryan Garcia is clearly in pole position to be the face of boxeo.. Canelo has definitely peaked & will only go downhill from here.

There's a ton of bars in SD that have been promoting this fight. And I just flew into Sacramento and a few bars have been doing the same.

We as boxing fans are on thin ice because this sport can either die off and go away forever or can catch a second wind and take its rightful spot as the numero uno combat sport. Eddie Hedgefund Hearn and Frank Warren needs to team up for good and bring boxing all the way back in the UK. Oscar was 100% right that Eddie knows nothing about boxing in America and introducing first the Russian and now the Saudi guys to American boxing he is doing nothing but ruining the sport in America. Al, Bob and Oscar needs to partner up with Amazon prime and put the UFC back in its place. That is the only way this will work my friends!

Are you telling me that all those Sheikhs won't be on their feet getting smashed singing along to American Pie?

No but they will probably be hi******* planes and SMASHING them into buildings..... while singing American pie! ..... horrible joke I know I'm sorry!

It's cool that this Mr Turkey guy wants to be involved in boxing but he must 'get in where he fits in'. Boxing is an American sport (with Mexico) and also a UK sport (including Germany, France, Italy) that needs to be ran by promoters of those regions that knows not only the particulars of that sport but also the people themselves.

The same goes that in Saudi Arabia where no one knows anything about boxing but they're asked to support the biggest fights between Americans and Europeans and nobody from the Middle east

No one in North America is aware that the undisputed HW fight is taking place in Saudi against a Gypsy and a Ukrainian. Just like no one in Ukraine was going to buy a PPV undisputed WW fight between Bud vs Spence or an all Mexican undisputed fight between Canelo and Jamie. Boxing will only survive on a regional level and then when there is an intercontinental super fight it is only going to thrive in Vegas or London. It is what it is guys!! You cannot take a sport out of its natural habitat where it thrives at toddler level ages (4-6) pee-wee ages (7-9) junior ages (10-13) amateur ages (14-17) pro level (18---). You can't ask fans to be boxing fanatics at early ages and then tell them all the best pro fights will take place is Saudi Arabia will they will never be able to see them. The same goes that in Saudi Arabia where no one knows anything about boxing but they're asked to support the biggest fights between Americans and Europeans and nobody from the Middle east. I've been trying to explain to you guys for five years now that shyte won't work!!

You I see these us (usa) vs them (world) arguments all the time on here which only proves my point. Boxing IS a global sport which is cheered for regionally. Soccer is a global sport which has different leagues around the world that are only followed locally by fans in that particular region. European soccer fans don't follow Asian soccer leagues just like South American soccer fans don't follow North American soccer leagues. American baseball fans don't follow Japanese or Korean baseball leagues. American basketball fans of the NBA don't follow Lithuanian or Slovenian basketball leagues. Australian rugby leagues don't follow Canadian rugby leagues. The same is true with boxing. Why can't you guys get that through your thick skulls? If we try and turn boxing into a single boxing league it is doomed to fail the entire sport guys!!!

I wonder how much better or worse boxing would be with organisations like in MMA, tied to WBC or WBA or whatever, so the rankings actually count (to some extent). Never ever going to happen though, TV, promotors, sanctioning bodies all in bed with one another, deeply in each others asses, corruptly or not.

Maybe in USA, nobody gives a damn about them in other places. The average person has no idea who Tank Davis or Garcia are.

Fury and AJ sell out stadiums to 90,000 people in their own country and get paid obscene money to fight in Saudi. Tank and Ryan sell about 15000 tickets between them.

Fury is globally more known than any of them.
