problem child v spoilt child

Too many hands in the cookie jar. Promoters NOT making the best fights can be blamed for the vast majority of the problems we have.

I think it's too easy to blame the promoters. How many (primarily US) fighters have priced themselves out of fights with the "muh A side", "muh split" guff which became all the rage?

This is why boxing became so infuriating to follow, the obvious best fights in the division are talked about for years before they happen, if they happen at all.

it wasnt good for boxing it was great for boxing, usyk got on with the undisputed stuff and fury who ducked the fight for ages was sidelined and beaten by the 'middleweight'

It was terrible for boxing the heavyweight division is dead and nobody outside of hardcore's cares about usyk

the top guy rose to the top which is exactly what is supposed to happen, much better than having a division full of 'named divas' who wont fight each other or if they do they wait for something to happen to the other guy first or something like that

climb the ladder lol he got outboxed and beaten easily by terrible tommy fury who is much more instagram than boxer

Paul lost, but I don't agree that it was easy.

Fury was not good at all, held on every chance he could, and was knocked down by a jab in the final round.

The weight discrepancy is huge in this fight, exhibition or not; Tank is at risk of being stopped or forced to quit.

The best outcome is that Paul is the gateway to get boxing back onto a premier platform like Netflix. Just like early days of Tyson and cable, HBO.

for all we know it might end up as a lame exhibition, how many of these things are actually any good?

It's crazy that Jake Paul is kind of like the "Robin Hood" of boxing

He steals from the men to give to the women.

He's done great things for Amanda Serrano & all of the women he's promoted.

But man, he's burying men's boxing

He's making it look worse than WWE

Yes and it's terrible for boxing that the most effective fighter is a vanilla midget who has a boring style.

If Fury had beaten him we would have a superstar undisputed champ now, good on Usyk for beating Fury but the result wasn't the better one for boxing.
