No heavyweight unification? I blame the 90s

[Zelda]

Belts today are useless in themselves and only a means to make money. Otherwise, people would damn care about them. It is the fights and the commercial value that is interesting to the boxers, promoters as well as broadcasters. Each wants to time it to their benefit where they can make the most money.

The fights will happen but not when the public wants it. Rather, when the commercial interests of the parties involved are maximized.

I bet if Ruiz pulls the upset Wilder fights him next

Am sure he would have to rematch Joshua, what I find interesting is when Joshua fought Martin, Haymon put a two fights option on Joshua.. If Joshua beats Martin he would have to take two fights against PBC promoted fighters, hence the Breazeale and Molina fights, wondering if the is the case again with this Andy Ruiz deal.

I think everyone can agree the top heavyweights in the 1990s were Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe, Mike Tyson, George Foreman and Michael Moorer (Moorer might be a stretch for some but he does have the championships while others who might make this list don’t)

Tyson-Holyfield 1 was billed as “finally” because it happened so long after it was wanted by the public.

Lewis-Tyson happened in 2002, way after it’s expiration date.

Tyson never fought Bowe, Foreman or Moorer.

Lewis and Holyfield didn’t fight until the end of the decade. Lewis never fought Foreman, Bowe or Moorer.

George Foreman and Michael Moorer fought each other and Holyfield but never fought lewis, tyson or Bowe.

Bowe fought Holyfield and no one else on the list.

In fact, Holyfield is the only name on the list who fought everyone else mentioned.

Is this ducking or just the boxing business? I’ll let you tell me.

- -You mucking yourself?

Really?

AJ the unified champ with a rightful claim to lineal and would've been the Ring Champ but for the incompetence of the dolts running that Org.

Both Fury and Deyonce turned down a kings ransom for lower hanging fruit. Both make peanuts to AJ dollars, but it's good you have some circus clowns to moan over.

What boxing gender does that make you? LOL?

No heavyweight unification? I blame Wilder. My whole blame goes on Wilder. At the end of the day that man has to power over his own people to get that fight made. Its all on Wilder. The mans a free agent he can walk when over to DAZN any time he wants if his own people are holding him back. He can give them an ultimatum, make the fight or i walk and go make the fight myself.

Its all Wilders fault, hes a massive ducker and until he stops ignoring the fight everybody wants thats what he will continue to be labelled.

Bowe is a duck of the decade.

I keep on saying this on here in response to the claims that everyone fought everyone in the 90s.

We've either got a lot of kids on here or some serious rose tinted specs.
