    To all the Philly heads...

    Was it just me or was there no hype for the Mayweather vs Canelo-Garcia vs Matthysse around here? All last week the talk was about the Eagles. I'm over here like "You know Garcia is fighting, right?"

    This irritates me the most. When Hopkins became the oldest champion, people around here were talking about the Miami Heat winning the championship or something. Me personally, I don't give a **** what's going on in the next city. I thought BHops making history was supposed to be a big deal around here. I would have gone ham on Broad Street for that.

    If it was still the 70's Bhop would of had his own statue and Swift would of been all over the local news because in the 70's boxing was still boxing and Philly never had a home grown world champ (I am not from Philly but have been in love with boxing since the 70's)

      Philly is all about the Eagles, but still, you'd think at least Floyd would get some coverage.

      In Chicago, you couldn't be around your neighbors or your buddies without someone asking, "you going to the bar to watch the fight? You gonna order the fight? You watching the fight?"

        has nothing to do with the thread as I'm not from Philly but I'm hoping that Vick stays healthy. At least for 14 games HA

          Look at this guy. Doesn't even talk about boxing. Worst poster on NSB.

            do you really want to continue this? you have nothing to prove, that I'm the worst poster on this site. You obviously need to look in the mirror and see how big of a fan you are when you jump from fighter to fighter.

              You really expect people in Philly to talk about Danny when the eagles just got a new offense, not happening.

                You know how hard it is to find real knowledgeable boxing fans around here? It sucks!!!! The 4 major sports run this city. You could find a lot of boxing fans in the rican neighborhoods though. Mainly because of Danny. Not boxing fans but Danny fans
