Take for example Ward/Gatti- both mid-card guys, but produced a show out of this world. Both would never have beaten the top guys in their division even at their own prime, but we remember their fights....
Ward and Gatti have been in similar FOTY and FOTY candidates before they met- which included Robinson/Gatti on the one hand and Ward/Agustus on the other.
Sometimes people just want to be entertained- and you can't fault them for that when the part of the focus for the sport is to entertain.
Never forget- while they fight for the money, it is the fans that put up that money. From promoters, to investors, to the fans in the seats at the arenas and those that pay PPV money and bet.
