    Yeah fighters will pad their record frightened of an L

    Wish more tested themselves and realise most people who dont live in dreamland,and who arent deluded will respect the hell out of them for taking a hard fight,even if they lose, as opposed to taking a s**t fight they know they will win

    Yeh we have our prospects fight capable fighters with massive losing records because they dont try and win. If they do then win, they lose opportunities to fight. So many fighters with winning records should be fighting these prospects

    History won’t remember Porter as a top, top fighter, but hopefully history will remember him as someone who always gave his all and was really, truly willing to fight absolutely anybody, never hiding behind any promotional excuses that so many others do.

    Spot on. The talent is there not just in Matchroom/DAZN but across the board the problem is the fighters, managers, promoters and broadcasters have realised they can make good money from mismatches with well crafted hyperbole, spin and once a fighter has his name established even if they haven't beaten anyone like Connor Benn it's almost irrelevant who they fight just as long they're a 'name'.
