Boxing and where it dies

[Cobbler]

Berto killed the hype himself by choosing to fight bum after bum. Same as Pacquiao. When you continue to fight bums people lose respect for you, it's as simple as that.

Sorry I can't get hyped up over a bout with Freddy Hernandez.

How can you say that Manny has only fought bums???

De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, Juan Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera?

Bums? Have some respect :/

By name they are not bums, but even past greats have an end to their prime and get washed up, and every person you listed above was far past it and in most cases SHOT, as is the case with Hatton, Margarito and Cotto. Marquez is the only live opponent listed above and he beat Manny.

Barrera was a good win.

Boxing is dying firmly in the hands of Pacman & Floyd!!

You're clueless.

/thread

Make a good point then cuz you cant compare Green and Mitchell to Margarito and Cotto

It's not more Floyd,it's them both,at least Floyd has gone away,Pacman is fighting people like cheating Margarito at catchweights for vacant titles which he won't defend!!Then turning right around & going for Mosley who he didn't fight 2 years prior,because Roach has seen his last 2 fights!!Neither 1 of those fights belonged or belong on ppv!!

I see your point but mosley is the same fighter he was 2 years ago that he is now,Just put different men in-front of him and different outcomes will occur

Boxing isn't dying, and never will as long as combat sports are allowed. When Pac and Mayweather are gone, and everyone is wondering who will pick up the slack, someone will, just like Tyson did after Ali, Oscar did after Tyson, and Pac and Mayweather did after Oscar.

Why'd U quote me??Cotto was borderline,(catchweight)!!Margarito at 150 for a title was pure garbage!!Floyd's performance against Mosley easily is the best win between the 2 above 140,true story!!

What??Mosley was dead tired after round 2 against Floyd & Mosley is known for great stamina,he is absolutely not the same fighter!!

Im not sure about that being known for great stamina...He was not really gassed just was being beaten up =\ sorta like in the winky wright fight but worse.

Your comments show a major lack of knowledge and your point was so weak that it would take a lot of time to make a case to you. It would be a lot of typing and a lot of back and forth. It would be easier if you went back and watched some fights and studied the history on your own before you make threads.

Boxing isn't "DEAD" as most will say,it's just where interest is being put,most of the fans like the 90% of the ******s on here KILL that interest by degrading it to the point where no one wants to be around anymore to hear the constant crying.

Berto had GREAT hype,Then the fans killed that by bashing him.
Replaced with Mosley who is so one dimensional he couldn't handle Mora.
Tavoris Cloud had momentum only to be BASHED after beating Johnson.

Now I feel that if Pascal wins on saturday (which if he is GOOD at all he should) the same fate will be tossed at him and whatever fans that watch him beat hopkins will turn away and say "Wow,these dudes ***** way to much **** that" and then switch over to the replay of WEC's superman off the cage spinning kick that Anthony Pettis landed on Ben Henderson to win the WEC title as the organization closed to join with UFC

I agree. Fans must think great boxers and resumes just pop up. I don't get it. Every legendary fighter fought bums and had weak resumes leading up to thier first big fight. Then they won that big fight and the rest is history.

With berto, yeah he fought hernandez but he dispatched of him in the best way possible. What more could he have done?
