    All this ridiculous backlash and constant arguing amongst their fan base is sickening. Especially when you see it day in and day out. The inflated system (which is in their favor) is taking away from other talented, young prospects/prize fighters and in general is doing more harm than good. The sooner these guys retire the sooner the sport can get back to rebuilding its integrity. Good riddance to both!

    rebuilding it's integrity with matches like Garcia and Salka / Santa Cruz vs Insurance Salesmen?
    I get where you're coming from, but there will always be **** match ups/decisions and resume padding.

      Boxing needs someone like Mike Tyson back. After the Maypac fight all the casuals were going off talking about how boxing is dead and they want a killer like tyson back

        Yeah, no doubt that mismatches like Garcia and Salka are a disgrace but the amount of money attention that is being shelled out to Pac and FMJ can be redirected to younger guys on their way up and make for actual competitive fights that the fans want to see.

            I hear you. . . We haven't got too long left until both of them retire.
            2016 at the latest I'd say. But I think we'll miss them both when they're gone. They've been such a big part of our boxing generation love them or hate them.

              Manny has never been boring though. He was in a boring fight with Floyd and people act like its his fault. Yeah, he didnt really do much but he's never been boring while Floyd has always been boring! Right now, Maywearher and Klitschko need to retire and go away forever. Back to back fights of them hugging their opponents like bachata dancers is killing the sport.

                It might already be better off without us knowing, give it some time. The guy that was suppose to beat Mayweather was made to look like an amateur and at the moment there isn't anyone casuals think can take Floyd. It's done already, this is a new chapter.

                    It will be better off when they both retire and Haymon is in prison or at the very lest out of the sport as well. THEN things will start to get better.
