    No Crawford v Spence,no Fury v Joshua no sign of the top light
    weights meeting each other.This is really a disgrace thank god for Taylor v Serrano and Shields v Marshall the women really showing the men up.The fights that matter are just not being made to keep boxing relevant

    Why you hating on Womens boxing? Some Women can do things just as good as men, or sometimes even better. Id be willing to bet a collegiate softball player can out throw your ass on the mound.

    Agree. The big fights are not being made and its a disservice to the sport and its fans.

    you are right about women's boxing.

    actually I think the very fact that anyone here gives women's boxing any attention shows how far boxing has fallen.
    which underlines the first post's point in a way.

    We will have to be satisfied with

    Whyte vs. Franklin
    Gorman vs. Wardley

    Babic may fight Rivas at the same event, we'll see, but all in all, boxing is really in crisis.

    Fury AJ is not a big fight. It's akin to Chisora or Whyte. Fury walks right through AJ without a sweat

    Fury Usyk or Joyce is where the action is

    I never expected Fury and Joshua to fight, so that one doesn’t bother me. It’s just that Fury chose an abysmal opponent. The fight has no intrigue at all.

    Crawford/Spence is the killer. That was going to be the big bout to close out 2022.
