Why have 'The Best' stopped wanting to fight the best??

They all running from eachother. From heavyweight to welterweight, they all **** scared of getting beat.

Its all about money. Staying in the business. They dish out fights where we know who the winner will be and most dumb cnts go out and buy it. They should only get good paydays when they put together fights that people really want.

Stop buying **** fights. Starve the cnts of money. Only pay for real challenges. These blokes are gettin it too easy.

Some of it is cultural. Many Poms still have pride in being the best. Most Yanks just have pride in the $$$ necklaces they wear. Only fkn girls wear necklaces!!

How many top fighters refuse to fight their main opponents?

What divisions are worst?

.

 

The only divisions where top guys actually fight each other are 115,135, 175 has had some fights recently, and heavyweight.

 

This is Floyd's legacy to the sport.

 

Unfortunately it is to a lot of fighters. But thank God there’s still elite guys out there like Usyk, Beterbiev, Canelo, Loma and a few others that are actually the opposite of what Floyd was.

 

How ironic all these guys you mentioned aren't American. I think American fighters are the problem here

 

Sports for athletes, not businessmen

 

Because there is an obsession with staying undefeated, if you lose the 0 you are dog****, which is bull****.

 

Floyds zero logic and they make enough money to get away with it.

 

The best have always looked at the risk reward.

In the 60/70/80s, you had to fight the best to get paid.

In this era, Floyd can get $40m for fighting Guerrero, so didn’t have to fight Pacquiao

 

I think even the ATGs from other eras, would do the same and be happy making lots of dough while fighting less.

This is not to take away from their accomplishments or their legendary toughness, which were the real deal. Many of them were fighting to put food on the table, but I think if they were offered the equivalent big cash of today for a single fight, it would quench a good many savage fighting spirits enough to take a year off lol.

I've been watching boxing for a long time, and there has been a very distinct change in the USA. Seems to me right around the time the internet became firmly entrenched in our world, which is maybe 20 or so years? Somewhere around there.

 

Fury & Usyk fought everyone in front of them and on the road.

The only people scared of getting beat are all these kids who can't draw a single viewer and can't afford to lose and Crawford.

They make Broner look like a marketing genius.

 

Yes, many American boxers are pampered and over-protected.

 

No, this is a Floyd creation. He spent the last half of his career telling everyone why he shouldn’t have to fight this guy or that guy.
