    Now Showtime and cherry picking are synonymous because of a few stay-busy fights?

    It seems that fans have a love-hate relationship when it comes to Showtime but have nothing negative to say about HBO and their cherry picked fights. Back when Showtime put on great fights like Broner-Maidana, Danny-Matthysse, Mayweather-Canelo they were great for boxing but now all of the sudden they're a dying network who only put on so called mismatches?

    How about we do a list of mismatches/cherry picked fights from both networks from 2014?

    The selections made can only be the main event or co-main event of a show televised by either network.

    I'll start with a few easy ones.

    HBO

    -GGG/Geale
    -Kovalev/Caparillo
    -Pacquiao/Algeri
    -Donaire/Vetyeka
    -Cotto/Martinez
    -Chavez/Vera


    SHOWTIME

    -Wilder/Fitrha
    -Quillin/Konecy
    -Danny/Salka
    -Peterson-Santana
    -Thurman-Diaz
    -Figueroa-Belmotes
    -Guerrero-Kamegai
    -Alexander-Soto Karrass
    -Mares-Oquendo
    -Broner-Molina
    -Stevenson-Fonfara

    Mods, IP Check, please.

    This is clearly an alt trying to make Haymon/Floyd/Showtime Groupies look even more foolish than they already are.

        just because Golovkin ran through guys like Macklin and Geale doesn't make those fights mismatches on paper. Especially Geale, who is a former world champion and whose only losses are close, disputed decisions to other quality fighters. Golovkin's team are trying to get him the best fights they can in the division.

        Not a single one of those fights you have listed up there are worse than the Danny Garcia/Rod Salka junk. All of those opponents alluded to above are either undefeated, champions, or at the very least established fighters at the weight class. You can call them mismatches in regard to their talent levels, but their records and accomplishments at least make them viable opponents. Not the case at all with Salka.

                  Are you kidding me? Just because the wrong guy won doesn't mean this entire damn forum was in agreement that Martinez was going to plow right thorough Cotto. Did you even see the odds?

                    It's actually one of the Haymon/Floyd groupies who pretend to be "objective" with their real account but use this account to express their real feelings.
