    People need to stop making articles about these boxers waste of time. Write something about Bradley, Crawford, or Andy Lee since the guy is a champion if the US writers want to keep it American only. I don't mind the Mayweather interviews at least the guy is fighting.

    Stop talking about American fighters who aren't fighting or are being obnoxious. If people start ignoring them may be down the road boxing journalists will actually get a decent interview not like the retarted interview we get now from Ortiz's "I am one of the ATG" or Ward's ****** none answer interviews.

    Also, I always wonder why American journalists don't cover boxers like Mike Alvarado? Guy just fought a killer row Provodnikov, Marquez, Bradley, and now Rios again. But I don't know anything about him other than he is from Denver, Colorado. I think if the boxer is average and lives an average life then it is up to the boxing journalists to hype the man or create a good story. Instead of going for the low hanging spoiled fruits like Broner and such. We get it class clowns always have a story but come on I like hearing good average boxers too.

    Boxing journalists should keep on telling stories about new fighters instead of recycling old stories from the same old fighters. And boxing journalists wonder why the fans are obnoxious and misinformed. It's because of you crappy journalists. The only ones you can't diss much are the hardcore fans in the internet forums. We know as much as you do.
    I agree with a lot of your post except the bolded.

    Journalists should report what's there, not make **** up. It's what wrong with the whole world. That and the folks that decide what makes the news and what doesn't.

      Roy Jones Jr, sadly. But to give a relevant answer about an irrelevant fighter, I would say Andre Ward, sadly.

        Khan's earned a shot. If Guerrero, Ortiz, Algieri, & Maidana got shots for beating plodders, then Khan should get one for beating a slick fighter.

              JMM.

              He's trying tell us he's still here and ready to fight, and his fans are like "Nooooo pleeasseeeeee Juan no more! You retired after KOing Pacman!"

              Writers dont even mention him because they want him to retire too.

                  Alvarado never fought Bradley, but overall spot on comment,I agree with almost everything you've said.

                  As for the topic, Quillin and Haye. Andre Ward gets a pass cuz at least he's a "has been", those two however, have never been relevant.

                      I dont mind Haye. He could probably beat a vast manority of the Hw division even still. Quillin though... Ugh. And Ward too as much as it pains me to say.

                      Juanma Lopez DID retire right? And Morales? And Arce? There's also the TBA killer Grjr but he's still got a future...maybe.
