    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.

    Exactly. Every single one of the names listed, it was a fabricated drama nowhere close to the video I shared.

    And you didn't list Shannon Briggs - the ONLY person who comes close, and that's because he came from that era. But even Briggs isn't throwing punches outside the ring; hell, he stopped a fight from happening with Stiverne.

    Broner usedta, then he got toned down by the networks ("took his belt AND his girl"/"just beat the **** out of a Mexi-CAN!")

    Billy Joe Saunders has moments but doesn't do anything physical to back it up.

    I'm talking about NON-PG, NON-PC, swear word laden verbal assaults (Tyson/Lewis) and physical violence (Holmes/Berbick).

    I'm talking about outright televised sexual harassment (Mosley/Mayorga - again, both from that era).

    I'm talking about cops being involved (Holmes/Berbick, Bowe/Golota, Mayweather/Judah, etc).

    I'm talking about refs getting assaulted (Judah/Tszyu, Loncar/Baniulis, Pepe Martin).

    I'm talking about straight up sucker punches (Barrera/Morales, Grant/Butler).

    I'm talking about B-side boxers getting pissed off (Hamed/Kelley).

    I'm talking about downright punk cards being pulled and outright disrespect (Toney vs. Eubank/Benn, Toney vs. Couture, Briggs vs. Haye, Tarver/Jones 2).

    Anger. REAL anger. Not fabricated and not "Twitter Thugs" like Eubank Jr, Golovkin, Rosado, etc.
