Is boxing backwards now?

[Larry the boss]

Fighters who actually take risks and win are discredited and called cherry pickers, while fighters who have not proven themselves against top comp in the ring are praised and labeled great? How is this possible?? Greatness is proven in the ring against other great fighters and hall of fame caliber fighters...Greatness is not just given, it's earned....

You praise errol Spence as great doe

Now? NOW!?

It's been like this for years.

[GrandpaBernard]

High expectations of proven guys

Most boxing fans are idiots. They live in a fantasy world where every fight is against a future HOF'r

yeah, it is what is.It's f#cking funny when GGG beats another bum fans be like "GGG is a GOD".
150 lbs Floyd in 2013 (he is just a businessman, not fighter and can't take risks) ducked 170 lbs Canelo.But when they talked about 170 lbs GGG and 176 Ward (Dawson version, today at 168 Ward will be around 180 at max) they like "it's a business, Ward is not a big name, 164 fair" .F#cking doble standards.
