Remember when boxing had Super fights?

I think Taylor vs Pavlik has a lot of potential to be a superfight.

Mayweather vs Cotto will be great too.

 

It has potential to be a great fight, however, in terms of anticipation from casual fans and non-boxing fans as well as the promotion of it, it falls well short of a super fight.

 

a super fight is something that catches the worlds attention so i agree with your point, but it is sad that unbeaten records and quality opposition are not all it takes anymore. Some of these fights may well be classed as superfights in the future they may be talked about for years to come.

 

I suppose you're right, but it's their loss.

I could care less about what the typical person or casual fan thinks about boxing.

Hopkins-De La Hoya
Mosley-Cotto

All within the last few years and all superfights. The casual boxing fan is just not nearly as exposed to the boxers of today as they were when fights were still broadcasted regularly on cable. You have to take into account that there were advertisements for these bouts as well exposing the casual fan or even the non-fans to fighters. DLH-PBF had people who knew nothing about boxing talking at the watercooler about the fight.

Its all about the public perception of great bouts.

 

You son of a *****!

Remember when we used to argue on a routine basis?

I just lost my passion, but don't worry, I'll be back.

 

:good As far as I'm concerned, they are missing out

 

Well, if they don't know titlists, even one of which is a 10 year champion - then they are ignorant. I don't depend on them to tell me if I think it's a superfight. Why do you?

All you are saying in the rest simply explains that broader acceptance equals superfights. To me thats the very core of what is wrong in boxing today. People spend too much time looking at recognisable names, rather than skill and craftmanship.

I do think you are beyond such things? This is boxing, not a circus...

 

This OP couldn't have come at a worse time.

The fights happening for the remainder of this year are huge, to say the least. What the shame is that the American public has been so misinformed about every one of them. Well, maybe except the Pavlik-Taylor fight.

 

I think it could be the beggining of a possible trilogy, unless of course Pavlik dominates the fight and then brutally, disgustingly knocks Taylor the **** out.
