Thread: Are Floyd and Manny bad for boxing?

Obviously not, but I think the two of them never fighting each other was very bad for it.

Makes no sense to me. Jay-z investing in a Brooklyn commodity makes some sense, but I agree that he spent too much and won't make his money back.

Because Quillin is a better fighter. GGG is a better boxer. Quillin is a murderous opponent to have, while GGG is a strong opponent. There is a difference.

To me, Quillin was/is the top guy at MW- size, strength, power, fighting ability and grit.

Hahaha!!!! Murderous opponent?!? That is funny. I've noticed from many of ur posts u say outlandish things often. I'm assuming it's either sarcasm or to just troll. U can't be serious with these posts... Right!!?

I would prefer to fight GGG over Quillin. GGG would give you a chance to box.... Quillin is coming to fight and can box.

GGG comes to destroy u. Quillin tries to use his athleticism to outpoint u. GGG takes on the highest ranked 160 pounders who will fight him and destroys them. Quillin, in his last fight, fought an unranked 154 pounder coming up who lasted the distance and landed a ridiculous amount of right hands throughout the fight. I have no idea how u come up with ur analysis, but it just seems consistently off/wrong to me. Guess u r entitled to ur opinion though...

As individuals no they are not bad for the sport by any means. What's bad is when the best of the best refuse to get over themselves and make mega fights for the fans and legacy they proclaim. The highest form of 'bad' for boxing are shitty half blind judges and easily influenced officials and the lack of universal oversight and accountability. No man who climbs through the ropes regardless of diva ego and style will ever come close to dimming the reputation and interest of boxing quite like the churning dank gutter of clusterfuck politics imbedded in this sport.

I agree, absolutely! It's a shame that the first thing you think of when a sanctioning body, commission, or promoter introduces something new is, who are they trying to screw this time.
