    Boxing Fans...QUIT B^TCHING!

    A lot of you guys seems to not want big fights either because you guys are on this forum daily making excuses as to WHY certain fights shouldn't be made with your "Nobody Knows This Guy" "He Is Not A Draw" "He Should Fight Someone Else" so a lot of you guys are so full of sh^t

    STFU! A lot of you guys want to PROTECT your favorite fighters and want them to play it safe! You want big fights? Then stop downplaying dangerous opponents for your favorite fighters and instead pressure them to fight the BEST!

        Too many weight classes also contributes to all the "marinating."

        There's a lot of fighters and their teams saying "I can still make the weight" as an excuse to avoid the big names in the division above them.

        Tank will probably take another 130 fight so he doesn't have to fight Lopez, Haney, or Garcia next. He wants them to move up to 140, or be drained in 2022.

          Fair enough, but you seem to introduce race into the conversation quite often.

            Davis is the leader of the young guns. Deal with it.

              Sorry, teo actually stepped up and proved he is the best young stud, Davis has to fight someone, as does Haney.

              He might well be the best, can’t prove it knocking out guys who can’t hurt him.

                Yep, I can’t understand why so many on here keep putting there head in the sand and stick up for it...

                  Then why does he need one more fight before he can even negotiate a fight with Lopez?

                    Reminder-Hearns made 2-3 title defense and Leonard 4 before they fought each other.

                    Some of you think a fight is past it’s date. However if that fight does great numbers and crosses over then maybe that isn’t a bad thing.
                    The difference is they were fighting more regularly in those days. 3 fights would have taken 9 months to a year, today you're looking at least 2 years.

                      Very fair point. From my perspective, it’s the same number of fights so it’s not marinating as much as people suggest.

                      The issue is the infrequency with which pros fight nowadays. That is done to try and lengthen careers as much as possible.
