the worst boxing has been for years

look beyond haye, klitschko, pacquiao and mayweather

bradley v alexander and montiel v doniare for starters

**** the doubters and the haters

 

What fights are you referring to?

Haye-Klitschko?
Pacquiao-Mayweather?

Personally, I don't give a **** if either happen.

We've got one mega-fight which is Bradley/Alexander which you probably know nothing about.

Boxing is dead my arse.

The funny thing about this all is, you've been a poster on ESB longer than I've been a Boxing fan.

 

Alot of dead divisions in 2010. Welterweight and Middleweight especially.

 

I can't believe the ticket sales are so ****in' atrocious for Bradley-Alexander. They've really ****ed this up by putting it on in Detroit.

Boxing ain't dead, it ain't dying. Forget the four who ain't fighting each other and look at the bigger picture. There is a lot of quality around and a lot of good fights that will be made this year. Things have been better but it ain't the end of the world.

 

A Welterweight Champion, can't even sell out a arena...? in there own country..!!

Bradley vs Alexander..???

In the 1980's, would this happen..?

Boxing is dieing of a slow death.

 

Don't worry lads, this match-up will rekindle interest:

As said, we have Donaire/Montiel and Bradley/Alexander

Plus should have the finish up of the Super Six, and the final of the Bantamweight tournament, so more big fights in those divisions. Martinez defending his title, hopefully a defense against Pirog. Another Pascal/Hopkins go round. Loads of stuff.

 

I think British Boxing is in a very healthy state at the minute.

the only gripe I have is that not too many people (top fighters) are willing to face other top fighters.

thank god we have the Super 6 and the Super 4 plus Donaire-Montiel

 

And The 140 pound division

 

forgive me brother.

175 could be hot as well

 

No, it's the location of the fight, not the fight itself. This would sell big time if staged elsewhere but Detroit is falling to ****in pieces mate. They've ****ed up big time putting a fight like this, any fight for that matter, in a city which is dying a slow death.

Boxing may well be having a lull....although I think it's extremely healthy in the UK....but it's far from dying.

 

not mention the fight is in the ****ing Silverdome which can hold in excess of 90,000 people and was almost closed down a few years back.

 

Exactly.

 

And the middleweight division is going through a rebirth. That one will catch fire in 2011.

And if Williams does the right thing and comes to 147 he will make an impact. A fight with him and Berto would be fantastic.
