      Guaranteed that we won't get

      Golovkin vs Quillin
      Mikey Garcia vs Abner Mares
      Mares vs Rigondeaux
      Rios vs Mattysse
      Broner vs Rios
      Bradley vs Broner/Mayweather/Thurman

      Interesting fights are being made but I wouldn't call the split a good thing!

          After not following the sport for a couple years I feel like I'm walking into a pretty exciting time with PAC-rios, Alvarado-provednikov, and the Floyd-Canelo with matthysse-Garcia super card all within the next few months.

            The split up has been very good, no doubt. Gone are the Berto type build ups, we hope.

                But that's the thing : we should get that on a regular basis, we shouldn't be so happy to get something we're supposed to get. That tells you a lot about the state of the sport when we don't expect the best fights to be made.

                  I have the exact opposite feeling but is not exactly the sports fault just the culture around it.

                    There are much better fighter for the 3 match ups you listed on the bottom. Rios vs any top boxer? Who cares. He just lost and has showed his serious limit in ability. Bradley vs Broner/May/Thurman? WTF is that? He won't even beat Marquez. Thurman is nobody. Golovkin can do better also. Not his fault Quillin is ducking.
