    I know what I'd be watching but kudos to ESPN for getting boxing moving.

    Andrade has already been embarrassed by Kessler
    Bute was all but KO'd by Andrade
    Pavlik is the worst lineal middleweight champion since the pre-Hagler days
    Green - who?
    Bika - not all that great
    Balzsay - seriously ordinary

    Dan Rafael just suggested it, he didn't say HBO have set it up.

    I hate companies that are reactive rather than proactive. They could have done this ages ago except they knew now that if they didn't act their iron grip on boxing will waver.

    HBO :S

    :lol: so then let's continue with your reasoning....

    - Taylor was beaten twice by the worst lineal middleweight in modern day era.
    - Abraham has kept his belt fighting wanna be gang bangers found on the streets.
    - ''Green ass Dirrell'' has mastered fighting on his bike a lot better than Mayweather.
    - Kessler was clearly beaten by a considered protected fighter, getting it on only in his backyard unless it's against old age people...
    - Froch is so wide with his punches, you actually have time to smile for the camera before it gets to you, not to mention his poor defence could allow even Koki Kameda to win a UD.
    - Ward has sniffed the floor like a dog before against **** competition...

    Care to add anything else ?

    Let's try and see the brighter picture buddies ;)

    The same Allan Green who got beat by Edison Miranda? Who Kelly Pavlik beat months later?

    :lol: the guy hasn't fought anybody of note yet, other than Miranda. Which is the fight he lost. Until he actually beats a notable opponent than you can say he can beat the best fighters in the division.
