    The only thing better about other sports over boxing

    The fact that any sports teams are forced to play other teams regardless, unlike boxing which has missed out on many of great fights because the fighters can choose who they fight. They are forced to play the teams within their conference multiple times and if they keep winning will eventually face the best teams in the other conference. So even if the best 2 teams in the sport are opposite conferences they will have to face each other in the finals.

    Mayweather and Pacquiao are the two best fighters in boxing, yet we already missed out on the fight once and very well might happen a second time. I think it is good that fighters can decide who to fight but to an extent. The idea of the alphabet belts making mandatory challengers is good on paper but they seem to always have ****ty mandatory fighters. I wish boxing would mandate the top 2 fighters in the division or the best match up to fight each other so then we wouldn't have this kind of problem. Its a shame we have had too many great fights not happen and might not get to see the possibly greatest fight of our generation. Other than that I really don't like anything else about other sports besides boxing.

    for every good fight that doesn't happen there's 10 great ones that do.

    i agree that's it's a shame that some fights never happened, but the whole "the best don't fight the best in boxing" thing is just part of the ufc self hype.

      Big name fighters should be fighting more than once or twice a year. Seriously, would it kill Floyd Mayweather if he fought 3 times this year?...

          Other sports are on t.v more often. Would be great if at least more classic fights were on some channel.

            Like when Kobe and Lebron face off in the NBA Finals.
