    I made a bunch of new fans at my fight party through flipping back and forth between the ppv undercard and the HBO card. They said "all those other fights were better than the Floyd-McGregor one." Then I told them about Canelo-GGG and they seemed excited to see it.

    that GGG vs. Canelo fight is good, but I hope it is not a let down. It is like the Hagler vs. Hearns. Both guys were dominant, so someone is going to be tested who is not tested. And that a great thing.. Top of the line competition..

    Loma needs a back story. He needs to dress like a G & have a prison sheet! He should do a sex tape! Preferably with me! Or he should shoot someone! He's rocking this, this is badass:

    Blaming Floyd for boxing being relatively low key in society now is a very poor excuse.
    the guy has done so much for boxing!

    blame the sanctioning bodies, the commission and promoters for not moving with the times and advertising properly.
    Floyd capitalized on this for his own benefit. ALL of you would do the same.

    The only way to win back casual or unknowning fans is to go back to basics in broadcasting, FREE TO VIEW TV.

    however boxing is generating record amounts of payday so somebody is already paying for it somewhere. Boxing is no where near dead.

    he has not done much for boxing. He is only concerned about staying undefeated and avoiding a loss, so he can use that as his claim to greatness without have a great fight. He is not a warrior. and I would rather he retire.. He was paid too much for his last few fights..

    people forget how good he was in his twenties/early thirties.
    First of all how many boxers can you name that are still fighting top level opposition at 35 + (and winning)
    And how many 35+ year old boxers are knocking people out every fight?
    because from 35 onward you cant be expecting floyd to win by KO every fighter, he did a great thing by adapting his style as he got older. You just don't seem to understand that, maybe go and watch UFC?

    I love boxing.. I love warriors like Hagler and Hearns, Leonard and Duran... Floyd is not in that level to show the best in boxing. It is all about him.. He is not the best of boxing. I would rather he be retired. And I never felt that about great fighters.

    floyd carried mcgregor.. much to boxings detriment, as far as national perception is concerned.
