    Boxing is in a pretty lame state ATM.

    Heavyweight Division - Now that Joshua got the belts back and Ruiz proved that his win was just a fluke the chances of us seeing the belts unified is -10%. I doubt we will even get Fury/Wilder 2 as Fury seems to be losing interest in boxing again.

    Canelo has no interesting opponent at the moment outside of getting Andre Ward to come out of retirement. GGG is too old now and will probably get embarrassed in a 3rd fight.

    Welterweight is the weakest it's been in years but it's not that bad when you consider we basically just finished a Golden Age in that division. Still the chances of us ever seeing Crawford vs Spence is probably as high as seeing Wilder v Joshua. In other words it's never gonna happen.

    Lomachenko has the same problem as Canelo he doesn't seem to have any interesting opponent to go up against.

    Pretty much Inoue and Estrada are the only fighters worth looking into as far as the near future is concerned.

    Yeah, it's not great. I still tune in for the odd big fight i.e. 3-4 per year, but that's about it.

          I think we're finally feeling the effects of HBO being gone perhaps.

                I’m sad to say I’m almost not even a boxing fan anymore. I’m not a fan of these new apps, ppv is way too high priced for unworthy matchups, we don’t get the fights we want, etc. Plus the board is at an all time low with people fanboying over promoters or networks and how much money fighters make.

                  Amen, brother.

                  Been watching hockey honestly. Ha. The best play the best and I still get a fight now and then.
