wadup esb , you know its sooo hard right now to be a boxing fan , im not alone in this i hope , it seems none of the champs want to defend their belts(ex.Berto) and none of the contenders want to step up to the plate(ex. povetkin) , also you get fighters asking for millions and they aren't even champions yet (ex.angulo), and worst of all Champions blatantly duck each other gaurding their belts like a ****ing leprakahn (bad spelling) gaurds his gold (ex.haye,floyd & pac to some degree) i mean this **** is getting out of hand , imagine if all fighters were like (ex.cotto or martinez ) down to fight anyone anytime , boxing would be on fire , what do you guys think would be a solution to this growing epidemic?
Patience young grasshopper! I've been a boxing fan since Methusala was in his prime! Boxing has always been cyclic. It will heat back up before long.
Pacquiao doesnt care about belts. I remember back when Pac was fighting at 130 peeps here kept telling him that he ought to fight for a belt to have some claim that hes a champion. here is one such thread http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19905&highlight=belt
why focus on just the Champions? Real boxing enthusiasts focus on the contenders and the upcoming prospects. I have a hard time just keeping up on all the action and hardly watch other sports. Anticipating golden prospects' next moves are very exciting!
What? The cancer is YOU. YOU who won't go see local boxing shows full of no names. YOU who won't support a championship fighter after a loss. YOU who won't join a boxing gym. YOU who won't put your kids into boxing. YOU who won't open a boxing gym. YOU who don't invite the younger cousins/friends/neighbors over to your bachelor pad to watch the fights. Not saying YOU personally but anything wrong with anything can usually be traced back to its consumers and their belief that "good" product just makes itself without their involvement, music, art, sports, government, you name it.
hold up dude , what the **** are you talking about , first off i dont have kids, second i do go to a boxing gym , leijas in san antonio , thirdly i always support my fighters even when they lose , cotto and martinez have both lost but they are true warriors and thats what this post is about , the best fighting the best , and i always invite my family to watch boxing in fact im the only one who throws a party for every paperview who the **** are you to tell me who i am ? You know nothing about me
and if ur in texas close to sa , lets settle this **** in the ring we can video tape it and post it on here , who the **** are you dude ?
Bald head why u always so angry. U disagree just to **** people off. Do you really like boxing or just aggravating people?
You'll get to know bald...he's just mad you mentioned his boyfriend's name in vain, that would be Floyd Mayweather.
There was a time when a boxer had to earn his shot at the title and the champion had to defend it against the top contender. Rankings were earned, not bought.
