Which you have to understand where a boxer comes from, football and basketball players get payed 10x the amount of a fighter who could easily suffer brain damage or die, we've already had 5 deaths this year - so yeah they're gonna attempt to get what they can while they can. But nevertheless the big fights that keep the sport interesting aren't happening, atleast not without a fuss and making people believe the fight isn't going to take place. You really gotta love the warrior mentality of Taylor/Wright or Corrales/Castillo.

Anyone anytime anywhere
I see what your saying but i think joe is the worst example to use. The man is notorious for ducking people and just cause he finally grew some balls and fought someone after 10 years that doesn't mean he is the toughest guy out there. At the end you cant even compare joes and hops resume. Hop fought roy,unified the mw division after like 15 years, koed 2 legends in trinidad and de la hoya, defended title 20 times. All joe has done is beat an old Eubank and Jeff Lacy. He held the wbo belt almost 10 years before he even tried to unify.As of right now he just don't stack up to hop, maybe he'll do something in the coming years then we can judge better.
WoW - can you really be that much of an idiot, or are your last two posts on here a joke?
