If it goes ahead as planned then i suspect all the fighters will suffer a least one loss. But this is what boxing is about.......for to long we have accepeted the very best of ur era picking and choosing who to fight for numerous reasons........he hasnt got a name, he dosent bring enough money, im better and dont have to prove it. Fight fight fight i say.
We can also be too critical when a boxer does suffer a loss, thats part of the reason boxers/ manager and promoters are so cautious these days.
I dunno about that..........when i think of Joe Frazier, i dont think he all of a sudden a bum because he lost to Ali and Foreman. Hatton (the hypeman) didnt lost popular appeal when he lost to old Mayweather. What people dont like is the wool over the fans method.
Joe Frazier lost to Ali nearly 40 years ago and you'll always find exceptions like Hatton (although I'm moving up in weight and fighting the P4P number 1, its arguable how much damage a loss could have done to his reputation with fans), I'm talking about how boxers are along and matched these days. They are far too cautious and lot of that is from the fear of how the fans these days percieve a loss on a boxers record. Whats the "wool over the fans method"? Are we talking knitted jumpers? Or homemade air conditioning covers? ;O)
