Make Boxing Great Again

By Scoop Malinowski

There’s really only one way to make boxing great again. All the cross-marketing and social media platforms in the world will not do the trick. Making all the smartest business decisions (ducking and dodging and handpicking patsies) will not accomplish the goal. Boxing has to match the best versus the best, like the way it used to be.

Remember Showtime’s “SUPER SIX” Super Middleweight tournament? Stage one of those in each weight division and boxing within one year boxing will be the world’s greatest sport again.

Super Six was a super success but since it happened a few years ago, there have been no similar follow-up events. Everybody in boxing knows the Super Six was a smash hit but all the powers that be have dropped the ball and continued their risk-aversion, greed-inspired business methods of building and protecting their artificial superstars.

Right now, the time is perfect to stage a Heavyweight Super Six event with Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Deontay Wilder, Alexander Povetkin and yes, Tyson Fury. Do you realize how exciting that would be, if all the players agreed to it?

I realize their are TV network obstacles but those can be worked out. Anything and everything can be negotiated – Pacquiao vs Mayweather proved that.

The upside of staging a heavyweight tournament to crown a new, undisputed heavyweight champion can and will save the sport – and make boxing great again. It will set the tone for boxing and all the other weight divisions will follow the example.

Anybody who refuses to participate and take the risk(s) (Al Haymon) deserves to be eliminated and blackballed from the sport.

Set it up. And find out who's in and who's scared. Then we realize who the true champions are. And who the phony frauds are. Only disagreement is that King Kong Ortiz deserves to be in the Super Six, not Fury or Povetkin. F*** this Wilder vs Warczyk crap and Wilder vs Duplassis rubbish.

Wlad is ready to retire after the Joshua fight.
Povetkin can't pass a drug test.
Fury isn't active and still may face a ban because of drugs.

So are we supposed to have a super 3 tournament?

And of tge remaining 3. 2 have ties to Arum and the other is tied to Haymon.
So how the heck could this work

[montrealsuper]

Povetkin is being set up by Vada WBC and Haymon. A female UFC fight just sold a million PPVs while Ward vs Kovalev sold 175,000. If that is not rock bottom for boxing - if that is not the most embarrassing humiliating moment in boxing history I don't know what is. Boxing has to wake the F up and start making real fights. Handpicked set ups to steal from stupid fans has to stop or be boycotted. Make the damned heavyweight tournament or boxing will die a slow death.

Fury is by far not the only fighter who did cocaine during his career... Camacho Leonard McCall Pryor etc etc etc. The list could go on forever. Fury will be fine if he stays clean. IF he stays clean.

Super Six produced a few good fights but the format was terrible. I'd prefer simple 4-man tournaments in each division, especially divisions with no clear champ.

You must be about 16 yrs old. You can't be an adult and be that damned dumb.

You could be correct, Scoop. But whomever is declared the undisputed Heavyweight Champion at the end of your tournament, he must be special. By special, i mean that he must not only be a great boxing talent but he needs to have charisma, be inspiring and entertaining. For instance, if Wilder ends up being the champion then very little will be gained for Boxing. Wilder doesn't have that IT factor and he won't find it. Anthony Joshua looks like he's Boxing's best bet but he's already whispering about retirement in a few years which was disappointing to hear.

In my opinion, Boxing needs a superstar and it doesn't matter what division it comes from. At this point in time, Boxing doesn't have a superstar. I can't remember there ever being a time in Boxing where there wasn't at least one superstar carrying the sport. Love him or hate him, Floyd was that guy for years and the bleakness of the sport right now is the hangover effect of Floyd's departure. It's not a coincidence that HBO/SHO/PBC budgets and numbers are down as soon as Floyd retired. They are related.

Boxing needs a superstar and QUICKLY because the more time that goes by without one, the tougher the road back will get for the sport.

Floyd reiired? more like nobody wants to pay to see him fight patsies and handpicks anymore - there is zero demand to see floyd vs anyone except Golovkin or a Pac rematch - Floyd is like a poison contaminating the sport and his presence as a promoter will only do further damage and further alienating fans away -

Trust me, I agree with you. I'm just stating the facts. He was the face of Boxing for a long time and now there is no one. But I will agree with that contamination/promoter comment of yours. The Floyd love from Showtime last night and his ridiculous interviews almost ruined one of the best nights of boxing in a long time. I thought that the days of having to listen to him were over....guess not.

He just promoted the best card here in years.

[montrealsuper]

Good very good in house show that didn't really achieve anything in the big picture - need to see broner stevenson wilder etc take risks against out of house great fighters - if Al wont play with the other kids he's cheating the sport the fans and history -

[asdfjkl]

I wonder who will become Trey Lippe his next opponend, he's going to fight in Miami I understood and I know that Tyrone Spong lives in Miami as well and both have a perfect KO score at this moment.

I'd love to see a fight between them, this way even the lower level fights can become interesting again. If I look at retards like Deontay Wilder, or Daffy Duck, they only accept fights that are massive paydays (and even Povetkin appearantly doesn't pay enough) or absolute bums that have absolutely nothing to look for in a world titlefight.
