Boxing Is Dead

[lewishamboy]

Nothing is happening? Huh?

In June and July, we had two Fight of the Year candidates - Thurman-Porter and Santa Cruz-Frampton - which features top guy vs. top guy, the best fighting the best.

Scheduled within the next six months:
Ward-Kovalev
Golovkin-Brook
Santa Cruz-Frampton 2
Thurman-Porter 2 or Thurman vs. Danny Garcia
Mares-Cuellar
Gary Russell vs. Lee Selby

Plus future superstar Anthony Joshua and the return of Mikey Garcia.

Just look at 2011

Floyd - Cotto
Pac - Marquez
Cotto - Maragrito 2
Berto - Ortiz 1
Chavez Jr - Martinez
Rios - Alvarado
Ward - Dawson
Floyd - Ortiz
Klitschko Haye
Pac - Mosley
Ward-Froch
Hopkins - Dawson
Khan - Judah
Khan - Peterson
Morales - Garcia

Sure a couple of these weren't great fights, but you can see the quality matchups were coming thick and fast, unlike this last couple of years.

boxing supposedly dies every 10 years

It's like they want it to die.

In its current form it should die. Only pathetic fanboys like you are enjoying the current scene. The rest of the world wouldn't care.

They're not really boxing fans. They're PBC/Haymon/Floyd fanboys.

I will always love the sport no mater which condition its in.

Im a fan of boxing not a fan of its fans

It was a great year.

But Floyd-Cotto, Rios-Alvarado, and Martinez-Chavez Jr were all 2012.

truth hurts and i see a lot of butthurt motherfuckers up in here.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I agree,,, boxing is dead, at least in America,,,

Ufc and wwe are bigger, and boxing has no one to blame but itself...

Fanboys will cling to Floyd's PPv numbers, but are in denial about how lame and dead boxing is now

Bundu vs Broner next.
