Has 2022 been the worst year for boxing?

Yes pretty poor. The problem with boxing is there's too many belts, the sport is ruined

 

And what's worse is that there is no reason to assume it'll change. It may verry well be like this for a long time.

 

No, 2020 was way worse. I think 2021 was also worse but that's borderline.

Definitely some disappointments in there but some great moments too. Who thought Canelo could lose a decision to Bivol? One of the HW champions fought twice in the same year (very rare!) and we got several undisputed fights.

 

2022 was excellent in march-june.
2015 and 2016 were very worse.

 

There were a few good fights but it could have been better, too many boxers were quite inactive...

 

Absolutely not. We've entered an era we're unifications seem more common than ever.

Don't get me wrong, boxing is still miles behind UFC but it's becoming clearer who the champ in every division is.

 

Hw is in disupte, as is welter, and some of the lower weights.

 

Absolutely.

 

Pretty much. I think I watched 2 boxing matches all year. Lol.

 

There were a few big fights but in general inactivity seems to be the name of the game for modern boxers. Fighting once a year now is as common as it is ridiculous.

 

First half of year was pretty good, but last 3 or so months have been dreadful.

 

It would have been better if more of the higher rated boxers had been more active. Many fought just once. Too much potential is being wasted.

Also there were too many fights where privileged weight bullies faced men from smaller weight divisions. And as always, there was too much home judging and refereeing, especially in the US and UK. Dishonest officiating damages the sport of boxing.

However, there were some fine moments, for example Bivol showed excellent skills in his wins over Canelo and Ramirez. Inoue was great as always. Usyk's last few rounds against Joshua were amazing.

I hope the promoters and managers keep their boxers MORE ACTIVE in 2023.

 

There has been worse certainly regarding the heavyweight world title, both Dempsey and Corbett did not defend it for a 3yr stretch, Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson 2 yrs.

 

No! Great year for American boxing.
