No thank you. The ones that need to fight more are the up an comers like Thurman Garcia , Porter , Mattyhsse and so one. Only real active ones are GGG and Canelo
    Also very true. You have to worry about over saturating the market.

    By fighting once or twice a year, Floyd has made it an event in itself when he fights.

    If he was fighting much more, it wouldn't be such an event and you wouldn't get the same hype. The Superbowl is huge because it happens once a year. If the NFL suddenly said "ok now we're gonna do 3 or 4 superbowls a year", it wouldn't be such an "event".

    Mmmm.

    Nah. As a selfish fan Im sure we could squeeze out 3 fights a year for the garcias and khans out there.

    Its not going to change anything but I needed to have that little rant!

    I do not care about them fighting more as much as fighting quality fighters. Too many good matches are not happening because of the excuse matchmakers, different networks and personalities getting in the way. Poor cards on ppv which is sucking the support of boxing fans.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Everything you said is true, hurts boxing and I wish there was something we could do about it.
    As a fan I know how hard it is to say I'm not going to watch this or that fight, for whatever reason, then be able to stick to your guns on fight night.

    I agree. But it's not just about building the fight, guys who fight less often can have a longer career. I think those 12 round fights take something out of you too, guys could be resting their 'brains' recent Concussion research has shown how bad they are.

    A fighting champion is what we all want and should be expected but I'd just be happy with more quality over quantity. The whole loftiness of elite is that a guy picks and chooses with a few exceptions where they just rake in millions and blowing out trumped up pretenders. Just fight the best available not just to have a billion dollar sparring match over in, ohhh Germany for example Then again you have a non elite and one who most likely will never be 'great' but Leo Santa Cruz wins and defends 6 times in 13 months. Network dates and venues can also have everything to do with it.
