does every competitive fight demand an immediate rematch...

[GhostofDempsey]

Not always immediate, but somewhere down the road it is warranted if there is a demand or a controversial decision. Preferably while both fighters are still in their prime. Of course we have all seen the fighter who "retires" rather than rematch a tough opponent, only to come back once that opponent is no longer in the picture.

Rematches should only happen when the first fight was entertaining AND close. I don't like watching boring fights a second time.

Muhahahaha my content stung you so bad you had to run and make a thread about it. Once again, BE CONSISTENT with your caterwauling about a rematch. You're a hypocrite and is easy to see what your agenda is

ward v kovalev and ggg v jacobs were very different fights.... how is that so hard to understand. i think you and some of the others have just tried to take the opportunity to get 'revenge' on people who said ward v kovalev was a robbery, so any half close golovkin fight you were always going to say was controversial.

It depends. Sometimes it makes sense sometimes it doesn't

[BrometheusBob.]

No, just the ones involving your favorite fighter on the losing side of things. If your favorite fighter wins a close competitive fight, you should passionately defend his right to pass on the rematch.

At least that's what I've learned from NSB.

[bojangles1987]

If they don't have an equal or better option, yes.

[Derranged]

Not necessarily.

[Metho_4u]

if there was a close but clear winner, someone for example who dropped the other fighter and outlanded them significantly, does it warrant an immediate rematch? Or is that fighter ducking if they want to test themselves against other champions? Do we really need to see reruns of every competitive fight? And say the rematch is relatively close, what happens then, should the fighter get a third shot at it?
please discuss....

For you? Only if it's floyd or ward, buttlovekin gets a pass because you wanna **** his azz

It depends on the standard the fighter is held. For example, although people do bring it up, Khan rematching Maidana is very forgivable because Khan is held to low standards. He is not a HOF-bound fighter, or a top 10 P4P fighter, nobody is hyping him up as being better than SRL or Hearns, he's not saying he can take on all comers from 147 to 160. So the standards are lower for some fighters. Depends on the media and fans, the media generally couldn't care less about Khan.

For other fighters, yes it matters. It mattered for Mayweather and Pacquiao because of who they were destined to be and how the media painted them, and how their fanbase hyped them up. For Ward it matters too, he's a high standard fighter. It depends who the fighter is. If you suck no one's gonna care.
