Yep boxing is a money business but we had great fights now it's rare fighters face each other in there prime.
We only have to look at Floyd v PAC so much hype and the fight turned out to be pretty boring.
We rarely get classic fights these days, the 80s gave us great match ups to bring back them days, boxing hay days😉

There has been a real paradigm shift and I hate being so negative. I just find it hard to ignore things like facts. I'm just not sure on the amount of empirical data needed. More disturbing for me is the buying of it. Enablers. How can this talent today at 147 be so F'ing dormant? I've never seen anything even remotely close as the Alvarez saga. And what was it 5 years for Manny/Floyd? This Haye thing. FFS did they pass out togas?
I agree with this. I think my favourite Wladimir Klitschko deserves a lot of credit for the way he handled his title reign(this is obviously just fan mail for wladimir btw :S).. He unlike a lot of fellows did make a very big effort to unify the belts and take on all comers, even offering a 50/50 split to haye and ibragimov.. Maybe wladimir was lucky to be in the era he was and is/was exceptionally boring to watch but he did make a lot of effort to make the big fights happen ! well done wladimir!
