Characters in boxing

[HattonTheHammer]

Amongst the hardcore boxing alumni were never going to NEED these type of personalitys amongst us but....

For the sport to survive these types of cocky, flashy stars make the sport what it is


I personally feel we need a tyson esque ticking time bomb back within the scene. The sort of guy who from his entrance to what he does in the ring to whether he kicks off at the post fight conference nobody knows what is gonna happen with him!!


If only Mayorga was a decent boxer

Yeah thats the point I was getting at, that these characters can draw new people into boxing that don't really follow it.

Because us the "smart mark" boxing fans will know a good matchup when we see it, but the casual fan that doesn't really watch boxing wouldn't know a good matchup. So yes for the sport to survive and draw in new people there needs to be an attraction like that, whether it be to a boxer to hate or to love or a story, it has to be beyond just a good matchup to snag in some new people to the sport of boxing. It's a reason I think the contender was so successful.
