..no offence meant, but can that have something to do with the fact that you're 20+ years older?

no offence taken sure, I thought myself that more work, less time, and just being older is part of the explanation... but I would say a smaller one. If we stick to HW, it is incomparable in terms of action and memorable fights. I admit Wlad would finally achieve ATG status based on longevity and domination... but he already is an ATG when it comes to boring fights (and besides him, there is not much to follow).

yeah boxing sucks...

kovalev-adonis aint happening

gonzales-pascal was a fight of the year and the clear winner got %&/$%§

I consider the Pascal v Gonzales fight a sign of life in boxing.

3G at MW. Kovalev at LHW. Cotto v Canelo (hopefully). FMJ v . . . Nevermind. Crawford, Chocolatito, the Japanese phalanx of fighters. WKlit v Fury.

Lots of up and comers.

I admit, this summer has been torturous, but boxing is alive, maybe not well, but has it ever been?
