Post Mayweather/Berto How Will the Boxing Landscape Change?

[-PBP-]

I think Canelo will KO Cotto and compete as a middleweight. If Canelo returns to 154 he will be the best at 154. If he can make 154.5 and be strong then he can make 154 and be strong. He can't be right at 152 because those last two pounds are a killer for him. With Canelo at 160 Lara is the best 154 pounder in the world.

Lol @ this slick comment. Floyd schooled Canelo 12-0. Get over it.

Seriously, does it matter? Promoters block the fight we should see and want to see. Networks do the same. There is no True Greatest fighter out there! How would we know? The fights never happen. Marketing a fighter is first. Setting someone up in a P4P spot that means little to nothing just to hype a fight is more important than the best fighting the best.
They had their chance with the Pacquiao Mayweather fight and blew it. Biggest joke in the history of the sport. Both fighters ******. They both according to stats fought the worst fight of their career. How will the landscape be now? Nothings gonna ***ing change. Just getting rid of one over marketed hype job to build another one in its place.
Networks and Promoters will still do their grimy ass shlt to get paid and meanwhile Us, the fans will talk about who is the best P4P fighter in the world for no ***ing reason at all. Especially when determining that is flawed beyond belief. P4P lmfao!

I like how people naively think the best will start fighting the best when Floyd retires, when there's still the issue of promoters.

Only Kovalev/Stevenson. The rest I can live without.

The career path in boxing used to be to create your own lane and become the best which will lead to stardom.

The new career path is to protect your record which will lead to a fight with Floyd or Pac. With those 2 out of the picture these fighters will need to find another way to get that big payday.

Mayweather-Berto is going to alter the course of boxing. Aspiring young boxers around the world will begin to mimic Berto's impregnable defense.

And most importantly, will we finally start to see fights being made from 140-154?

For the last question, once Floyd throws his four belts back into the open (WBC/WBA belts at 147 and 154) and fighters start jockeying for shots.

They (slimy ass Promoters and managers) are creating them as we speak.

[LacedUp]

He's the only legitimate title holder in that division. Once those belts free up we should start to see fights being made and unifications happening. Even if he hasn't campaigned at the weight he's held up activity and killed opportunity within the division.

No he's not.

he hasn't fought there for 2 years or defended his titles even once. He's not the legit champion or belt holder.
