I was just arguing with some dude in here about this last week.
Mike's 100% on the money. You just don't have dudes with Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson type personalities now. You don't have real stars in boxing.
If Conor McGregor had chosen boxing, he'd have the chance to save boxing in America by himself, and he's Irish FFS.
Guys today are either boring like Spence & Crawford or they come off as assclowns like Canelo or Khan or Chavez Jr. or Broner
I mean Ali & Bernard Hopkins and Floyd were assh&les, but they were at least funny and charismatic assh&les.
SJW's have ruined everything..... look what the media do to people now for any misspoken word or mistake. Outrage culture means there will never be another Tyson, Ali or even another rock star like there was in the past. People are too sensitive nowadays.
This is true too.
Boxing is the manliest sport and we seem to deem anything manly these days to be "toxic masculinity", which I believe is going to cause a backlash in a few years.
No mike.. its because Joshua is a dirty cheating english mcmuffin robot with no personality chip upgrade.. that needs to fight at home so he can pass his UKAD random testing. That fool is afraid of full random VADA testing from the WBC! AJ will never leave his magical hog***** home, hometown judges, refs, and familiar middle-earth hospital staff!!! ($80 million+ guaranteed) isn't important to Joshua/Hearn, and he will take a paycut to face Wilder at home.. for his fans., an Wilder is the fight the fans all want.. and eddie says this will be the biggest fight in heavyweight history.. but giving Wilder more than a $15 million flat is a joke because Wilder is a birdleg windmill bum with a bum resume, who AJ can KO in 3rds. Which is why AJ told his fans to go to the gym and train to fight Wilder and AJ said give me 50 million and I will take that fight tomorrow... then said "let's roll" with a fire emoji.. then all of a sudden its "im not selling my soul.. ! Hearn said Wembley isn't available in September for Wilder.. because Wilder took to long to sign, eddie said maybe cardiff in October, November,.. then all of a sudden it's Povetkin September 22 live at Wembley! LMAO!!! Not to mention up to a week before the WBA 24 Bullshyte.. eddie still sent contracts with no date or location.. wtf!! Thats a fact!! But Wilder ducked AJ doe???.. lol. This is wild.. Ok.
So you trust WBC? The same WBC that protects cheats?
I donīt miss your personality one bit, Mike. The cannibalism, the raping, the public assaults, the prison sentences mid-prime etc. Thatīs not what made your era and other eraīs great and it wonīt make this era great.
I would want to go back then when Championship Boxing is on ABC Wide World of Sports - local and National TV for free and real championships when titles matter and the no.1,2,3 contenders actually fights the champion or unification titles from other respective boxing organizations.
This is where I see the prizefighting, PPV and promoters ran rampantly and controlling the game instead of having a real "league" wherein the real champ is seen generally as the main guy being challenged.
I grew up in the late 70s and have been in the Ali-Fraizer Thrilla in Manila and the 80s in the days of Sugar Ray, Duran, Hagler, Hearns...Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello, Mike Tyson...

He didn't **** anyone, and Holyfield, who's bitten people as well, deserved a lot worse for all the headbutts.
