Thanks, appreciate it. This sport has become a joke. Just made another post about how NONE of the best fights are happening, and when they do, rarely, boxing ruins it. Has ONE mega event actually happened in the last DECADE with prime fighters, who didn't get injured in the fight or get robbed or have a bad referee? It happens EVERY TIME.
Wilder hasn't delivered any fights we've wanted and he's been on TV for like seven years. Fury had one **** fight with Klitschko, then nothing. Joshua still not delivering the best fights. Stevenson ducked Kovalev. Beterbiev nothing. Danny Garcia nothing for years. Quillin had one round against a good opponent, after two years of build up, then nothing. Jacobs still ducking GGG. Rigondeaux has been ducked since Donaire. Floyd delivered two good matchups, Canelo and Pacquiao, but one at a catch weight, one when Pac was old. Cotto held the middleweight title hostage didn't fight GGG. Canelo same thing. Martinez got injured then fought Cotto instead of GGG then retired. Mikey Garcia retired to duck Gamboa and still hasn't fought anyone.
You could go on for days. Besides like Lomachenko, Chocolatito, and GGG and Kovalev who have TRIED to fight the best but been ducked, NO ONE at the pinnacle of the entire spot is regularly delivering. Abner Mares is now but he let politics steal the Rigondeaux fight away and since then he hasn't been at the pinnacle of the sport so it's not as interesting.
The sport is dead. It's broken. It doesn't function anymore at all. It still makes money sometimes, in rare circumstances, but as a sport it is completely broken. The best, relevant fights don't happen, and when they do, referees do not enforce the rules, judges are bought off, and so on. It's a joke. It never works out. The last time a big fight happened with prime fighters that actually functioned properly was like Maidana-Broner.
You're right man, the sport is ****ed. Sometimes I don't know why I still watch. But hey, i'm a boxing fan so I just keep trudging along. What can you do.
