    2017 is a great year for boxing?

    Can everyone who used to whine and complain about best not fighting best in boxing accept that 2017 has been so far and will be a great year for boxing?

    So many great match ups to look forward to.. Khan vs Pac being the latest addition to the list.

    People just like to highlight the negativity but when good things happens no one seems to acknowledge it.
    Boxing fans are so cynical.

    i think everyone is excited about what we've gotten and will get in 2017, in terms of quality fights. that doesn't mean people didn't have the right to be cynical in years past.

      There's people not excited because to them none of them are really happening. Everyone is ducking every one. Negotiations are meaningless and they aren't appreciating the fights that are signed and sealed. They are thinking about fights that may or may not happen 6-7 months from now. "So and so should fight the winner." "The winners of these to match ups should fight" let's get the winners first
      It's like the iPhone 7 comes out and say oh what will iPhone 8 do. Enjoy the present. We can worry about the future when it comes

        So far it has been a good year with good and important fights happening. Brook vs Spence, Jacobs vs GGG and Thurman vs Garcia are fights I really look forward to.

          We've had DeGale v Jack and LSC v Frampton and we're getting AJ/WLAD, Garcia/Thurman and Pac/Khan. But whats happening beyond Aprile? Parker v Fury I think but that's about it.

              Add Brook-Spence to that list and it's a fight fans dream year so far..

                I feel like 2017 has been good so far.

                DeGale Vs Jack & Frampton Vs Cruz were big fights.
                Then we've got Thurman Vs Garcia, GGG vs Jacobs, Wlad Vs Joshua and Brook Vs Spence. Top guys in the divisions facing eachother.

                There's Bellew Vs Haye, Chavez Vs Alvarez if you like those fights. Huck Vs Briedis, Parker Vs Fury. Beterbiev Vs Barrera. Gvozdyk Vs Gonzalez. Pacquiao Vs Khan.

                On this side of the pond i'm looking forward to Linares Vs Crolla II, Smith Vs Williams, Burns Vs Indongo.

                Maybe fights like Stevenson Vs Alvarez in the works. Easter Vs Shafikov.

                I mean, there's always better fight to be made. The ones we all want to see and need to see. But so far, i think it's been/can be a decent year of boxing.
                Hopefully things are being set up as we go along.

                  I'm not really looking forward to that fight. Spence hasnt shown much.

                  Like I said, whats happening beyond April?

                    Well that is a good fight, then we have Ward-Kov II
                    And some not so exciting fights like Canelo-Chavez Jr & Pac-Khan
