    Does anyone else feel like this is by far the worst year in boxing, or am I just losing the love for boxing?

    Cotto-Mayweather was a highlight for me of the year, other then that nothing has really sparkled my interest, I'm really beginning to lose my overall interest in the sport, and most of these young guys with the exception of Gary Russell Jr excite me, Broner is an over the top wannabe character, I'm sure he's taken Floyds "You need a character" thing to heart.


    Boxing does not need "characters", we need real fighters...

    I think since late last year to present at least I've been enjoying hypejobs getting exposed and beaten. People, especially fanboys, see their fighters aren't as great as they made them out to be. If your a neutral fan or a fan of thr underdog it hasn't been that bad of a year. I'd rather watch a closely competitive, entertaining fight whether its a chessmatch or slugfest instead of a one sided beatdown. People like to see upsets and get shocked.
