    Boxing was said to be "dead" when Dempsey lost the title.

    He said this word for word before Floyd fought Oscar. It's just a way of diverting attention away from the fact that he knows nothing about the sport when he is forced to cover it.

    Guys like Wilbon just like to hear themselves talk. What does he know about boxing? NOTHING! They have time to fill and have to say something to get peoples attention. Hey Mike, STFU! Stick to your stupid commentary with your buddy Tony and let the boxing people worry about boxing. YDKSAB! (had to say it)

    What if Canelo wins, and it's not some bull**** Bradley vs Pacquaio type of robbery win?

    Then a new star will be born until he goes up a division and gets stomped out by GGG.
