I don't like the matchmaking these days!

What's wrong with Manny fighting Rios? He has been out a year and was KTFO. Rios is a fair enough opponent considering that those two points. In saying that though, I have no interest in seeing Manny against Mayweather now. Not that Mayweather is any better, but both are past their best and so the lustre is gone.

When the fight hype happens, you are gonna be glued to the set just like everyone else. Even go to the weigh-in if given half a chance.

Agreed, some people are excited about a Floyd v Khan. Granted Manny v Floyd does not glimmer as it once did but it would be much more interesting than any of Floyd's last ten fights.

Not for that kind of purse and a chance to gain a belt for a couple of guys that just got their asses handed to them.

A man coming back off a massive knock out loss should hardly be coming back against Floyd Mayweather should he now. I don't see your problem. Fighters usually take a tune up after a year out and being heavily concussed.

I agree a tune up not handed the ability to be a world champ.

I have to disagree with the thread title

2013 has presented many great match-ups & fights

Sure there are those fighters that are taking the easy route, but many more are choosing to prove themselves against the best

I will watch it like any other fight, but it holds no more appeal than most others. It's not as though I even have the option of paying PPV, so it really wouldn't be any different to any other fight.
