So far in 2014 boxing has ******. We are almost three months into the year and we have yet to see a high-quality matchup. We have seen nothing but mismatches so far and, other than Bradley/Pacquaio, we have no high-quality fights scheduled where the outcome is in dispute until June (Cotto/Martinez). Froch/Groves II is coming up, but we may not get to see that fight in the U.S.
GBP has a loaded stable of fighters, but none of them are scheduled to fight in a high-quality fight anytime soon. Alvarez/Angulo is a crappy fight that should be on regular Showtime instead of PPV. Danny Garcia has a fight coming up against a fighter no one has ever heard of. There are no fights on the horizon or no decent fights for Robert Guerrerro, Keith Thurman, Matthysse, Lara, Mares, Johnny Gonzalez, Shawn Porter or any of their other fighters. No fights scheduled for Andre Ward. No quality fights scheduled at light-heavyweight. All the heavyweights are afraid to fight each other because they are afraid they will lose their place in line against Wladimir Klithschko. We have Top Rank feeding us a load of bullsh.t in Orlando Salido fighting a guy with one professional fight and calling it a world championship fight and trying to tell us that JMM against a journeyman who has lost two of his last three fights is a quality matchup.
This is going to turn out to be one of the worst years for boxing in the last two decades in terms of quality fights. You can blame whoever you want, and there is plenty of blame to go around. But, regardless of who you blame, boxing sucks right now!!!!!!
