The sport is getting boring

[Devils Advocate]

As most of you know i have been a hardcore fan for a very long time,but lately its boring me,to many people ducking ,the fights that are made are not that great,boxing needs a surge of energy very badly but it seems as soon as a guy has name recognition they only fight once a year against washed up opponents or mismatches,i am hyped about cloud johnson and thats about it.

Couldn't agree with you more, nobody cares about the Andre Dirrell/Andre Ward, HBO should have pushed for an Alexander/Bradley fight immeiately before these guy turn into primadonnas. HBO needs to due away with signing fighters b/c they've turned into promoters and every fighters big dream is to fight on HBO even if it mean fighting only 2 times a year. ( I wonder if Chad Dawson has a part-time Job)

I don't think the sport is getting boring. Boxing is a very exciting sport even without the big names fighting. But it does seem as though these huge buildups and tremendous letdowns with these so-called super fights takes something out of us as fans.

yes, last week i watched zab judah and timothy bradley jumping for joy because they picked some handpicked opponents to beat on and won, while you have the UFC consistently making competitive fight after fight and none of these get made. Mosley vs Mora on pay per view anyone?

Yup, same here. Sucks because nothing beats the hype surrounding a great boxing match that you look forward to. But there is like nothing appealing right now. Sure the Pac-Fraud negotiations might of exhausted a lot of people, but there is a huge opening where MMA can grow. I always have discussions about this with my boss. Look, I got into boxing hardcore 2003. I'm not gonna lie. Since 2003 I've loved boxing to death. But as of right now, it's going stale. I wish I got into it sooner so I would have had even more exciting moments of matchups, especially with Tito and Roy in their prime years, but whatever. I've enjoyed it so far, but am super disappointed so far this year.

Check out the fights between 90-98 there were a lot of classics.
