Why are the best fights in boxing not happening?

[al-Xander]

Regarding the guys they should be fighting, let's just say those fights need at least 7 years to build.

Seven years? It only took a year and the Thurman vs Brook is no longer creating any buzz. It's gone. They all want Garcia, but Danny is not interested.

The media needs to dig deep why the best fights are not happening.

They can start with why Garcia is becoming a one fight a year fighter.

You have any solution homey?

Yes.

Fighters need to start growing balls and so do promoters.

As much as I'd like to see GGG go to 155, the same can be said that Canelo is doing what he criticized Mayweather of doing; cherry picking and avoiding the best available fight.

They're all to blame. I don't care how they do it, they need to get it done

At the rate we're going, that's what it's going to take.

I'll be an old ass grandpa before half these fights get made.

Walters vs Loma
Loma vs Rigo
Juanma vs Gamboa
Kovalev vs Stevenson
Canelo vs GGG
GGG vs Ward
Stevenson vs Beterbiev
Garcia vs Broner
Crawford vs Pac
Crawford vs Garcia

I can do this all day. A bunch of fights we'd love to see or would've love to see that simply didn't and won't happen.

UFC doesn't have that problem and they're utterly destroying boxing at the moment and I hate it because I'm a boxing fan first and foremost. Always have, but I can't support the sport the rate we're going

By the time you reach grandpa stage, all these current top fighters would have been replaced with another set of cherrypicking divas. It's a vicious cycle. That's why most of these fantasy fights will never become reality considering fighters fight twice a year or less.

Guys need to become more active.

PBC has everything they need to bring boxing back. Can you imagine the following fights in one year:

Garcia vs Thurman
Garcia vs Broner
Garcia vs Spence

Stevenson vs Beterbiev

Spence vs Broner

Peterson vs Porter

Mikey Garcia vs Robert Easter Jr

[Chollo Vista]

Thurman vs Spence
Broner vs Garcia
Ortiz vs Joshua
Joshua vs Wilder
Wilder vs Fury
Jacobs vs GGG
Pacquiao vs Crawford
Rigo vs Loma
Canelo vs GGG
Crawford vs Broner
Canelo vs Andrade
Beterbiev vs Stevenson
Spence vs Garcia
Spence vs Broner

People say boxing is dead and that the UFC has surpassed boxing. Maybe they're right. The UFC doesn't have this problem of the best not facing the best.

Boxing has this problem because promoters try to take their stars and maximize their potential earnings by matching them against guys they'll easily beat while earning maximum profit. All the while this makes business sense financially, but its completely ruined the sport.

I'm tired of "building" fights. I'll be 70 years old by the time I see 5 good fights. This is bullschit. The best needs to fight the best. Point blank period.

No more Floyd Mayweather business models

I just wanted to say thank you to the boxing God's for making 2017 very pleasurable and honorable to be a fan

Well done promoters, match makers and advisors. Well done

Holy **** what a list of fights. I know a lot of them weren't as exciting as we'd have hope for but those were all big matchups with top fighters fighting each other and fights which we have beem calling for for a long time!

Yep, it's what we as fans needed to see... 2017 has been too good for words
