Hard to be a boxing fan right now.

[BigStereotype]

I can understand MMA but...WWE? WTF? That is not even REAL!

usually the best fights in Boxing are from the Lower Level Fighters, I haven't see a good fight between 2 top fighters in boxing in a LONG TIME, it wasn't win Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard was all fighting each other

Do the names "Marco Antonio Barrera" and "Erik Morales" mean anything to you by any chance?

What happened today was shameful but lets not suddenly forget all the entertaining fights of the past few months.

F-u and your womanly agenda.

Actually I've been loving watching boxing this year so far. I thought the following fights were very entertaining:

Rios-Accosta
Lee-McCewan
Cotto-Mayorga
Foreman- Wolak
Fields-Grant
Alvarez-Hatton
Martinez-Dzinziruk
Donaire-Montiel

TS sounds like a casual.

Any hardcore fan will know there have been a lot of good fights this year.

Blame the promoters not the sport

Yeah boxing is not at that same level that it was in the 70's 80's and parts of the 90's but don't blame the sport blame the promoters who dwell with their own interests.

Either way though it's not like we have all been left in the dark, I for one refuse to be held hostage over the whole Pacquiao/Mayweather annoyance nor the promoters war because consider the following:

1.There are still many great fights that are still being made did you not see the Rios/Acosta, Foreman/Wolak, Lee/McEwan fights? and not to mention the many great fights that are to come later this year heck even the Cotto/Mayorga fight was solid along with Sergio/Dzinziruk.

2.Gamboa,Lopez,Garcia,Bradley,Martinez,Marquez,Rio s,Khan,Cloud,Vitali,Wladimir,etc these guys along with so many others are still keeping the sport alive and while the casual fans may not know most of these guys believe me in due time that will change.

3.WWE is not real


4.UFC: I do not like it and I never will but we are all entitled to our own
opinions and if you like it more power to you.

5. Don't worry Pacquiao/Mayweather will happen Money talks

6. The promoters war will lead towards pavements of gold

You see if I was a fighter I wouldn't have any incentive to put on a good performance and I'll tell you why.

It seems fighters only get attention for bad things nowadays, you're talking about the bad state that boxing is in, ignoring the relevant fights that took place that actually put on a good show. It is insulting.

That being said, I don't think for a moment that you are a boxing fan.

We have had great fights lately, I'm not complaining anymore. And some young prospects are starting to emerge.

We still have the BS, but who cares.

Between Bradley vs Alexander, Pac-Floyd not fighting each other, and this sad excuse for a Heavyweight Title fight, this is why MMA and WWE are kicking Boxing's ass. Say what you will about either, but at least they make matches people want to see and have conclusive finishes.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to get excited about boxing matches anymore. I used to watch as much as I could, but now there are only a few fighters I can get excited about watching anymore. Anyone else feel like this lately?

Not really, and you do know wwe is scripted thats why they have the matchups everyone wants to see and exciting endings. as for mma if you find that more entertaining cool, i'll be watching boxing.
