Forget about the who ducked this guy and who ducked that guy stuff, because that's not exactly the point here. The main point he is trying to make here is that American Boxers and Promoters are killing this sport. HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. We can all thank Floyd for creating this Haymonistic environment in which the goal isn't to win belts or challenge the best. The goal is to make the most money possible by taking the least amount of risk. That's it. Floyd showed all of these younger boxers that you can go 10 years as champion without fighting the number one contender and still make more money than anyone has ever made in the sport.Andrew Kearney wrote:There seems to be a trend among American boxers that they drop belts and vacate if they are unwilling or afraid to face their mandatories. American presence in boxing has declined substantially in the past 15 years to the point almost all of the top 10 P4P boxers today are nonAmerican (most according to boxrec are Eastern European). Fans need to call these American frauds out.
Peter Quillin repeatedly ducked Golovkin and fought bums then dropped his belt rather than fight Russian Matt Korobov.
Danny Garcia did not have the confidence to fight his mandatory Viktor Postol so dropped his belt and gave it up to Postol.
Deontay Wilder has fought bums and now that he's lost the bid to Povetkin will likely be vacating the belt. I guess he just doesn't want to fight a guy that could actually beat him? Pathetic. Wilder beat up taxi drivers and runs like a little girl vacating his title the first time a real fight VS a top3 guy comes his way. "Pathetic" isn't even the word.
"Fraud" describes these American boxers better. They fight bums brought to lose in the USA but Haymon can only protect them for so long. Then they vacate when they know a challenger is for real.
No wonder all of the best boxers and champs are non Americans now a days. The American boxers are frauds. Then again I dont blame Wilder, Povetkin will KO him and his team knows it. Hence dropping the belt.
Boxers foreign to America are the ones pushing for the best fights right now. Kovalev and GGG lead the pack in how it's supposed to be done. These two want to fight the best 3 times a year. If the American's had half the heart of these other boxers, the sport would be soaring...But instead we have postponed fights, vacated titles and promoters protecting prospects. American Boxers are pussies. Fact
When did he say anything about promoters....or Floyd? Your hate clearly clouds your judgment, and I would add you to the list of anti-american freak fucktards that are ruining this site. You seem to always read between the lines saying crap like Floyd's iv was illegal, and Manny not disclosing his injury was somehow twisted as an integrity move. Holy shit, it goes on and on. If you don't like boxing, don't like what is going on, get the fornicate out. Boxing will be better off without fans like you and the American haters above in this stupid thread.
