just who is going to step in and fill the tremendous void in both of their divisions once they retire which we all do hope is frightfully soon actually not soon enough haha.
Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder or just who will B the next hw icon? and what about in place of Floyd Mayweather after he is gone
Maybe not Straight away but long term I see it like this.
HW - Rivalry between Wilder and Joshua, maybe Joseph Parker down the line.
LWW/WW - Terrence Crawford.
I agree with all of that I believe that was all I could think of myself. Lets not rule out David Price and what about Steve what's his name who knocked Tyson Fury down oh yeah cunningham haha maybe some of these guys and even Dereck Chisora what are you going to have some popcorn?Quote:

after mayweather - fantastic, id be happy if i never heard his shit again
after wlad klit - even better, what a shit cheating style and what a unispiring poor period in the HW division, worst in history by far
It's hard to say. Guys like Mayweather and Pacquaio bring a lot of people into the boxing tent, and I'm not sure if anyone can keep the people there after they're gone.
I hope you aren't losing any sleep over this or letting the stress build too damn high. Are you tossin' and turnin' in the middle of the night? LolQuote:

Never fear, here are some replacements.
Lamont 'Happy Feet' Peterson
Barry 'Mr Fight Plan' Hunter
Sergey 'The Idiot' Kovalev
Adrien 'I Got Problems' Broner
Julio 'I'm Mad At Daddy' Chavez
Tyson 'I Can't Resist MMA' Fury
how about Walter "I Dropped My Drawers and Got Buggered in the Shower" Magillicuddy?
Can't agree with you this time. For me it's about the fight, sure I like some fighters more than others, but when you get down to what draws me in and keeps me coming back, it's the man against man contest of closely matched fighters.Quote:

If that's some kind of twisted proposal, I'm not flattered and absolutely decline! LolQuote:

We're not talking about a "couple of fighters", we're talking about the two biggest draws in boxing history. You can take every single boxer currently fighting and add up all the money they generate, and it wouldn't even come close to matching what these guys make. And that money is going to be gone sooner than later: both guys are nearing 40 and have hinted at retirement.Quote:

Manny, GGG, Crawford and BOTH Garcia's with Kovalev.
manny will retire after beating hemmhoroid floyd
Make up what difference? Boxing is a global sport it's not the UFC.Quote:
