    Boxing takes years, then networks, then blah blah blah and before you know it the fight means nothing because fighter X lost.
    Do NBA players stand for our flag?

      With the Klitschko era officially over the Heavyweight division is exciting for the first time in a very long time.
      And with glad Floyd retired also.
      Now we dont have to hear his name all the name (although he will always find a way to get attention).
      More happy that he retired than Wladimir.

      We got Wilder in USA, Parker who is ok and then Joshua who is just an exciting heavyweight and has the chance to be global and crossover to the casuals.

      Boxing is doing just good.

      Who is Parker? No idea. Where is the exposure?

      Wilder and AJ I know. Who is this Parker guy? I couldn't pick him out of a line up.

        The Cavs and the Warriors are taking 93 tune ups before fighting next year.

        But seriously, I get what you're saying. Boxing seems slower than Congress sometimes at making sh it happen

              Joseph Parker from New Zealand

              Have had a dreadful 2017.
              Both fights he had has not been exciting.

              But I much rather watch him fight than any of the Klitschko brothers or Floyd Mayweather

                It's fun though. NBA actually puts teams to the fire.

                Al Haymon was supposed to save boxing. His top guys fight like 1,2 times a year.

                  Good I'm gonna watch again. Warriors were my team since I was a kid. I like the 76ers too, that's it.

                    No idea who he is in the United States.

                    If I go down the street asking who is Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather people would say 'oh yeah I've heard of him'


                    Joseph Parker sounds like a linebacker from the Jets.
