Is it me or is Boxing currently the most exciting it has been in years?

long overdue

Im trying to think of a division that doesnt have competition and genuinely cant think of one

Always thought that the Super middles would struggle desperately after JC, RJJ etc but the super6 is just about one of the most exciting things in boxing right now.

the lights are always stacked, welter is still the division to be in. 154/160 is finally starting to get interesting. And at long last in the hayemaker we have a challenger to the klitschkos dominance at heavy

I f*cking love this sport right now!

It's great right now. I have to say, as skeptical as I was at first, the Super 6 has been great for the sport. It has transformed the SMW division into one of the deepest, if not the deepest, in boxing and it has ensure the best fighters are all fighting each other (bar Bute, but his day will come). I think that, combined with the meteoric rise of Manny Pacquiao and the potential for a somewhat resurgent HW division because of David Haye has created a great boxing environment.

I agree Daxx boxing is looking pretty good with some good fights to look forward to, hopefully a Pac/Floyd fight happens because that would make the world sit up and watch and that's what boxing needs. Hopefully the Heavy division will continue to improve for the same reasons and some meaningful fights are made soon - fingers crossed.

It's also good to see fans refuse to pay for shit like RJJ/Hopkins, the more we do that, the less they will try it hopefully.

I'm somewhat dissappointed with the super six tourney so far in terms of the actual fights but Kessler/Froch/Abraham fighting each other should make some fireworks.

I hate to admit it but Manny Pac has been exciting but it just seems the best fights do not always happen which frustrates the hell out me.

jones vs hopkins 2 for fight of the year

[blegit]

Not to mention we are in the mist of a nice stretch run of fights that carries over to June. Almost every week until June we will have 1 or 2 fights that are great.

I think it's been a very slow start to the year, from January to March there was barely more than a couple of decent bouts involving name fighters.

But for sure there are many divisions that are enjoying a resurgance of life and plenty of pontential big matchups in the pipeline.

I think it will end up being a great year.

No arguments with any post in here. Very solid. Just to play devils advocate, how much more popular would boxing be right now if it didn't cost so much to be a fan? I know we have the tuesday and friday night fights but to watch superstars box from the comfort of your own home is $60.00 a pop. And the drum that continously gets beaten is that the Mayweather/Pacman fight needs to happen. I believe it could be our generations Ali vs. Frazier. But there are some great fights coming down the pipe right now and I'm excited about it (and saving my money so I can watch). Again, good thread.
