That's kinda what I meant. I agree that the matchups are decent, but at one point it was being propped up as a renaissance of future greats
I´m glad my thread made people pop out with their emotions how hard Thurman would lose. It was a mythical matchup you could make now and Tito would still win. Because the welterweight division belong to the overpaid midgets now who get 30 hours to rehydrate. Why boxing has become a joke is this overpaying. Have one damn champ and he gets the millions. When you defeat the ONE champ in the division, it´s your turn to earn the bucks.
My post was to adress that we see a lot of shitty boxers getting exposure none of the greats got. Even having Keith in a discussion like this is a joke. Fighters dont fight anymore, they want manicure and soft hands. Warriors, oh no.
I hope the Thurman-Porter fight will deliver something that will make one or both of them grow into something. Not just overhyped fighters who are hot for one or two years. Personality doesnt exist anymore, they all are too busy telling how great they are on Instagram. Only one guy deserved to say he was the Greatest, let him rest.
Bring on a new Hands of Stone, Tito, Leonard...whatever. I´m losing hope.
Just saw Joshua pummeling a no-hoper, it all look like shit. Jesus. He will be another Bruno, we all see it coming sooner or later. But without Brunos persona. I mean chin-wise.
