    Well, Khan/Maidana, Martinez/Williams, Bradley/Alexander etc r examples of the best fighting the best. Maybe u should pay more attention to those guys. I stopped caring about Pacquiao and Mayweather a long time ago.

    I'll give Gamboa a little more time to cook, he doesn't have the experience of Juanma, so it makes sense for him to be a little intimidated considering they're not really on even playing fields yet.

    If James Kirkland hadn't gone to jail, him and Angulo would likely have been talked about and I doubt either would be too scared to fight the other.

    Than there's the super six... with the tournament winner likely facing Lucian Bute not long after the tournament.

    After all that... It's not that bad is it?

      It's not bad at all. People just need something to complain about. September/October last year? That was bad. First 3 months this year are shaping up pretty well in my opinion.

        I'm actually looking forward to the Marquez-Morales fight (aside
        from the Alexander-Bradley.) Two great counter punchers will
        finally meet in the ring. Just curious if Morales still has it.

            I feel the same way bro. But you know boxing is like that drug you can't shake, thats what Bob Arum knows and uses it against you. I feel the same way but im also just as excited for bradley-alexander, donaire-montiel (I cant wait for these two man) agbeko-mares, and the prospects of gamboa-lopez, martinez-pirog, the winner of mares-agbeko vs the winner of donaire montiel, khan bradley-alex winner, etc. We follow it because you never know when your going to get that barrera-morales or castillo-corrales and nothing in sport is better. nothing.

              Nov/Dec were the best two months of boxing for a while. Even Hopkins/Pascal, which I thought would be boring, was entertaining.

              Pacquiao - Mayweather will never happen, but most of us gave up on that about a year ago. I still think Haye will fight a Klitschko and the rest isn't that bad at all.

                It's becoming more of a circus than a sport.

                instead of the best fighting the best, it's the most hyped against the most over-hyped.

                  Boxing always was like this. Rematch of Ali-Foreman never happened, Leonard ducking Hagler for long period, Bowe vacating his title not to fight Lewis, Roy Jones, Hopkins and Calzaghe fighting each other when all three were old, nobody willing to fight Wright, Tszyu sitting in his weight division not fighting in ww.

                    The truth is everyone wants pac vs floyd in their primes. Those who block it out of their heads are in denial. The two very best fighters in the sport that can fight each other in the same division!!! Im not a god fearing man but i still pray haha (in a crazed state of mind) see sig
