    Boxing was at it best when it had drama.

    This guy made a showcase of said drama and it is absolutely awesome. We shall never again see things like Larry Holmes doing a dropkick off a car.

            Mayorga basically put De La Hoya's likely gayness on full display while Tyson threatened **** and Barrera legit socked Morales. Never again shall you see.

            And as gun happy 'Murica is now, they don't even care about boxing enough for a live shooting. Thankfully.

              Boxing doesn't have drama now?

              You must not be up with the times homito.

              Cats like:

              Fury
              Wilder
              GGG
              Kovalev
              Gonzalez

              Keep this sport wildly entertaining inside, and outside the ring. Especially Fury and Wilder.

                There is still drama in boxing. Unfortunately the drama today is either fabricated or not even worth the time. I love the internet and social media, but it has ruined this sport. Boxing is now the WWE.

                  You're talking about the fans and social media right? If so I agree, it's disgusting seeing how disrespectful fans are towards fighters and even worse endorsing ducking and worrying about PPV buys, ratings and financial crap.

                  As for actual boxers talking **** on social media to other boxers, that stuff is entertaining, especial when they actually fight each other. That's what's ruining the sport though - not enough good fighters fighting each other! Everyone wants $4-$5m without putting in the work. Shoot, the WWE at least makes good matches consistently. Hopefully things change soon.

                    Exactly what I'm talking about. Fans are horrible, but it's a by product of the orgs and promoters. I just wish people were smarter than everything they read. Nowadays everyone has an opinion. Difference is there are to many sheep buying in to one person's opinion rather than actually following the sport.
