Out with the old guard at 175 (Kovalev, Stevenson, Jack) in with the new. Hope the new crop of 175 fighters are willing to fight each other.

I been telling everyone boxers who wait for opponents to age past 31-32 before fighting them are duckers of the highest sort, who deserve ZERO credit for beating those guys after waiting for them to turn that age. I been telling everyone, 31-32 and under is prime in most weight classes, and anything after that doesn't count.

Unfortunately, many of you only listen when it's your favorite fighters getting old. When it's GGG being waited out, Kovalev being waited out (Ward didn't fight him until 33-34, not as bad as what Canelo did but that's STILL *****ing PAST PRIME PERIOD and he had every opportunity to fight him a year or two earlier since they were both on HBO), Pacquiao being waited out, Lomachenko currently being waited out by Tank and possibly Mikey since the smaller man with the athlete's style and without the dynamite fists will probably decline much sooner than he will, when it's those fighters, non-PBC, non-American fighters, many people ignore their age, and claim laim they were in their primes and that mentioning their ages is "just an excuse." GGG was 36 years old before suffering his first debated loss, yet you have hundreds of posters on here and in the online boxing community claiming the Canelo fights and the Jacobs fight at 34 years old discredit his entire career as a boxer.

So just be consistent man. Just is old, just like Pacquiao. Thats why when Pacquiao fights bigger longer guys, natural 147 pounders, like Floyd at this point or whoever else, he falls short on his punches now because his legs dont have the spring to get to reach that far away target anymore like they used to. But against natural 140 pounders like Pacquiao, such as AB and Matthysse, you see he has just enough to still reach them. But anyone longer like Crawford or Floyd, he would fall short cuz of the 40 year old legs. I saw the same thing with Badou Jack tonight vs Browne, and Stevenson vs Gvozdyk. The thing is, even in his prime, Jack probably didnt have the legs to keep up with Browne, but he certainly would have had a better chance.

All I ask for is consistency. I can admit when others favorite boxers are old, and not penalize their legacies for that. It would be nice if other posters on here could do the same with my favorite boxers. Peace

Revisionist history? When did ward wait out Kovalev? Ward moved up a weightclass just for kov because ggg ducked. (fact)

Glad i bet on browne. Won 250. Jack has nevet impressed me and his "great fight" with adonis had me thinking it was more cause adonis was old. If jack is smart, ge moves back to 168

too big and faster
