    A list of glorified club fighters?
    Yeah, I know, celebrating mfers taking punches and haymakers all day. Bet Lampley wont pull one cent out of his pocket to help his so called Gatti's when they have medical issues later....just like these posters.

Am i the only one left who appreciates all different styles of boxing matches?
      And thats what i mean by mentality has changed. Floyd schooling of Pac is going to change the sport.

      For the better? Time will tell but since these 2 are at the end im excited for the next era to begin and see what they bring.

        It'll be interesting to see if Lampley adds his fellow analyst Andre Ward to that list in a few months.

          HBO/Herschman have figured out it is more profitable to put on lower caliber fighters in low skilled, violent action fights or give their big names easy wins over opponents who have shown an ability to "look good while losing".

          These fighters fight for much lower purses and will take the same low payment each time they are on.

          Reading the comments, there is a large group of fans that like this so it is not likely to change.
          As opposed to pbc overpaying mostly average guys in **** fights?

                Have PBC fights been that bad this year? I think not. If you think so, fine.

                If watching Canelo v Kirkland type fights on a regular basis is what you like you will get plenty of that. It's not surprising that Danny v Salka was the most watched SHO fight last year.

                Its just a shame to see HBO downplay actual boxing skills in favor of lower skilled, volume punchers that do not have the discipline or talent to develop skills.

                    He really only criticized Vazquez and it was hilarious.
