A Bigger fighter wanting to fight a smaller fighter it's a shame. SMH. This era lacks honor and humility

For many high-profile boxers of today, yeah, maybe.
But here's a current smaller fighter beating bigger fighters, and doing so while being humble and honorable:
Oleksandr Usyk

Instead of crap fights, make Ernesto Mercado vs Dalton Smith, unbeaten vs unbeaten and separate the contenders from the pretenders! No more damn stiffs or washed ups! Make this damn fight now so we can see whose got a damn chin or not.

Stevemson is a coward and shouldn't be referred to as a fighter. He'll keep cherry picking the same way Floyd Wifebeater Jnr did his whole career.

You probably shouldn’t be calling a professional boxer a “coward” while sitting behind the comfort of a screen.
Oh snap! I hope I didn’t trigger anything to make you personify your response.

Historically, many many many boxers have moved up multiple weight classes to fight bigger guys.
Usyk was a career cruiserweight and he’s beating much much bigger guys.

Not everyone. Plenty of Boxing purists appreciate his skills.

I like his skills a lot, but the truth is the way he is using those skills is turning off the large majority of the audience. I hope he goes back to the way he was fighting a few bouts ago but don't feel confident he will do so.
