What's your top ten?

Top 10 MW

1 Sergio. Champ until beat. My favorite fighter
2 GGG. Lineal Champ in waiting
3 Sturm. The Euro bum hunter
4 Quillin
5 Martin Murray
6 Gaele. Good MW
7 Rubio. Solid MW
8 Saunders. Solid Untested but can scrap
9 Stevens. At least he has balls to fight anyone
10 Mac the Knife. He got blasted by GGG and almost landed in my seat at Foxwoods

Belt or no belt he's still a prospect. You hypocrites don't have a problem with GG facing non HBO worthy tomato cans. And he's 30 with twice the amateur experience. Quillins still a prospect getting built up.

GGG fights guys who have the balls to get in the ring with a beast. Simple as that, and only a few step up to the plate.

Business first. That is why we are all here. To tune in and watch fighters and their accountant's count beans.

Boxing is partly business; but it is also a sport, it is about finding out who is best.

Previous generations got this: hence Ali fight everyone; so did Duran and SRL. Even when it didn't make "business sense."

Now Pac and Floyd, the best of their gen, don't fight because it doesn't make "business sense."

But in the long term, boxing IS NOT a business and requires fans to watch it and sustain it. The best "business" in the long-term is the best fighting the best.

But what would we know? Fans of specific boxers apparently get money directly into their accounts when their fighter makes $.

ps I am using your good post to respond; not to disagree as you can see

Let's not forget a simple fact:

say what you will about GGG's resume, but Quillin would never ever get in the ring with the "tomato can" Chavez.

He's fighting tomato cans

to hell with Quillin
was digging him when he came on the scene dropping dudes like crazy
****** to see him beat up Winky, but otherwise liked the guy
he's wasting his time milking his belt
he coulda pushed for bigger fights, especially with GGG
even going for Sturm, Barker, or Geale woulda been fine
screw this guy, he's a forgotten man now

[wiz1030]

Konecny is decent enough, the real problem is Quillin only fights two times a year. With the opposition he's been facing, he should be fighting at least 3 times.

Co-sign. If he were getting in 4-5 bouts per year against these types of guys because he couldn't get top class fighters because of being SHO exclusive it would be ok.

That fighting two times a year stuff is for stars and he is not a star yet.

This.

/thread. Quillin was promising now he's just fighting laundromat workers. The man literally told me on Instagram "I just want to make money" to hell with Pete.

This is the future of boxing with Al Haymon controlling the sport. Paper champions like Quillin completely protected, never facing anyone that is dangerous.

That's nothing new, see ginger...

[Deeznuts]

In order to get paid he will have to face a legit fighter at some point. Or he can be the Chris John of the MW division
