It could be argued that its the superfight that ruins boxing. It stifles smaller possibly more exciting fights.

Fighters and promoters don't want fights where they could be beat because it may cost them that one big super mega blockbuster fight.



Good points, tho I dont think this fight could ruin boxing. It could be a disappointment but it wouldnt ruin boxing.

If this blockbuster fight could ruin boxing it could be argued that any blockbuster fight that Floyd fights in could have similar effects because, lets face it, Floyds style doesnt make for crowd pleasing fights.

The faster the fighter is and the more punches a fighter throws, the more Floyd seems to shut down. Take the ODLH fight for example. Floyd is lucky he didnt lose this fight due to punch output alone. Oscar brought it to him the best he could and Floyd showed masterful defense yes, but Floyd is the only fighter ive ever seen win fights on defense alone. And its not crowd pleasing.
