2017 is a great year for boxing?

[soul_survivor]

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

Ward v kov may happen.

Pac v khan is in April.

Yes Jr v canelo is after April but that's a nothing fight.

The year has started off well but beyond the first4 months I can't think of anything top class lined up.

Really we should be getting the remaining camps fighting each other at 147, 154 and hw.

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

Like I said, whats happening beyond April?

we might have canelo golovkin if everything goes well as well as ward-kovalev 2. Fights arent made that well in advance anyways.

So far its been great year for boxing.

[lebronfan]

I really hope people stop claiming that boxing is dying.

2017:

pros : Spence v Brook, AJ vs Wlad, Bellew vs Haye, Garcia vs Thurman

cons: Pacquiao vs ChinnyKhan/NobodyHorn, Canelo vs InsertRandomCatchweight, Wilder vs Stiverne 2 (because the first was a classic),

So far it's been a good year. Great is too big a word for what we've seen.

[Canelo and GGG]

cons: Pacquiao vs ChinnyKhan/NobodyHorn, Canelo vs InsertRandomCatchweight, Wilder vs Stiverne 2 (because the first was a classic),

Hating on Pac vs Khan (good competetive fight) and Canelo-Chavez but praise Haye vs Bellew

[El Gitano]

No one has mentioned Vargas vs Berchelt... One of the best fights so far this 2017.

I think the problem is that people either judge the schedule by

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.

In May you have three big fights that have been talked about already.

Of course nothing is announced for June and beyond because it's only the start of March now. I'm not sure why you would be down about that, that's completely normal.

There's khan v pac possibly.

What else in may? Canelo v Jr is a joke.
But it's certainly been a good year thus far. Better than 2016 but like I said far from great.

Spence vs Brook is a very competitive fight imo. I think Khan / Pac and Canelo / Chavez Jr might be competitive, which is better than most Pac and Canelo fights tbh.

Seriously, I think you should be hyped for Brook/ Spence though. Even if you don't rate Spence (and I think you should) you've got two guys with huge KO ratios who both have some holes in their defences. Just think of it as a Provo-Matthysse type fight if you don't think that they're that skillful.

Anyway, I'm sure there are fights left to be announced in May because we're still 8 weeks for the start of the month. But even if that was it for May, can you really not say that the year has been great?

A level fights
Jack vs Degale
LSC vs Frampton
Dejan vs Mikey Garcia
Aj vs Klit
Thurman vs Garcia
Spence vs Brook

B level fights:
Broner vs Granados
Peterson vs Avansyan
Crolla vs Linares
Canelo vs Chavez
Vasquez vs Collazo
Pedraza vs Davis
Khan vs Pac
Harrison vs Hurd

There are probably others too, but that seems pretty good to me considering only 4 1/2 months of fights have been announced.
