Most top fighters will only fight twice in 2014 it appears

That they want to be in the ring. That they wan to stay sharp and in form all year round. That they are hungry. That they are committed to boxing.

who says that all the top guys aren't hungry? and aren't committed to boxing.......i highly doubt that kovalev, ggg, and santa cruz train harder than floyd, pac, ward or bradley, all of the top guys train like they're "hungry" otherwise they wouldn't be on top......on top of that, all of the top guys fight the top champions or contenders in their division consistently! ggg, lsc and kov haven't beat anyone worth crap in their division......fighting 3-4 bums a year is nothing to appreciate. plus on the business side, it takes longer for superstars to build a ppv. floyd, pac, ward and bradley can't fight the adama's and bellew's of the world without getting backlash. floyd and ward can't even fight in their own damn natural division without getting backlash.

my point is that ggg, kovalev and lsc aren't doing anything special.....saying that you appreciate that they're hungry is funny especially in ggg case, because multiple guys have been calling him out and he chooses to fight bums instead.

Just because someone doesn't hold a belt doesn't make them a bum. Just because they aren't on the P4P list doesn't make them a bum. Now a days everyone who isn't a top dog is just a bum.

There are contenders, and there is a need for them, there is also good reason to fight them. I would like fighters to go back to fighting 6-8 times a year, just filling the gaps between belt defenses with non title fights with up and comers.

It sure looks that way. This has been a pretty disappointing first quarter for 2014 so far. I hope it gets better for April,May and june. I have no interest in Pac vs Bradley 2 or Mayweather vs Maidana. I will most likely order Cotto vs Martinez and won't count on getting a great undercard since it will be a TR card.
