That was a quit job, borderline stuff, for what I call a nutshot check out Hatton v Tszyu and Danny Williams v mark potter also Bowe v Golota

-idiots arguing about kov vs ward
-idiots who only mention 1 with reference to the other

Boxers/Promoters avoiding the best possible matchups.

- Posters using the most complex and fancy ways to state simple things to appear smart.

- Posters defending the blatant corruption in boxing by saying... You can't prove it so it never happened

Forum posters attempting to describe complex situations using overly-simplistic language, which results in unrealistic judgements or analysis.

Lazy forum posters that prefer to buy into the common misconceptions held by merely casual fight fans that only possess a passing interest in our beloved sport, instead of being an independently-minded individual that researches what has actually transpired and then formulating their own opinions based purely on evidence rather than idle gossip.

Forum posters that formulate derogatory judgmental opinions without making any effort whatsoever to acquire a deep understanding of both sides of the proverbial “story”, with them subsequently taking great offence whenever their claims are undermined with cold-hard facts!

oh its on

Just don't want to see $hit scorecards - it infuriates to see someone who is corrupt or knows nothing about boxing potentially ruins someone's career/dreams etc.

But other than that I wouldn't want to see:
I don't want to see McGregor in boxing.
Retired fighters coming back.

Haye v Bellew

Wilder v Breazeale

Manuel Charr

Fres Oquendo

Lucas Browne

Nick Webb

Kubrat Pulev

Things We Don't Want To See in 2018!

fergus/EO

I don't want to see;
Wilder making it through 2018 without fighting Joshua.
More protected fighters.
No more circus acts.
No more governing bodies ignoring their own rules to pander money making over fight making.
Bad judging, biased commentary.

I hope it does..

Wilder v Breazeale

Should be a good scrap.. maybe down the line..

Manuel Charr

Fres Oquendo

Unfortunately, it will happen.

Lucas Browne

Just want to see him fight Whyte. That's it..

Kubrat Pulev

Still a good challenge for anyone..

Another year of that Lithuanian Top Rank Welterweight (I can't even remember how to spell his name, let's just call him Geddy Carver maybe) treading water. Thought he had a chance to make a name for himself (an easier to spell name, preferably) a few years ago but he's trudged through injuries and non-televised undercard fights for too long now.

Anything that would stop the semis and finals of both WBSS tournaments from happening.

BJ Saunders not sticking to whatever it was that helped him to look so much better against Lemieux than he had previously.

... among some of the things that have already been mentioned.

No, he ain't Lithuanian!

Looking down the boxrec Welterweight rankings I can see his name is spelled Egidijus Kavaliauskas.

Well you got that lazy part correct

Your zealous defense for the powers that run boxing is really making me wonder about your agenda here. There is tiny difference between original thinker and corporate muppet

Gives me bit of the same kind of feeling that talking about global warming does. There is also some token specialists there that are saying "but you cannot prove anything". Their job is to make seem like there is some sort of debate going on about the subject. Makes the masses think its not a fact if there is still debate going on. But I digress.

It might be you condescending and passive aggressive tone that irks me.

I do appreciate your other contributions to this forums. Just a small part of me wonders who is paying your bills?

Adelaide Byrd judging fights.
Thurman only fighting warm-up fights
Canelo getting crazy decision in his favour
Adonis Stevenson continuing to waste time.

Stevenson best fight again this year.. win or lose.

Things I don't want to see in or anywhere near boxing in 2018:

1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Connor McGregor
3. Adelaide Byrd
4. Tyson Fury's fat stomach
5. Danny Garcia cherry picking
6. Loma vs. shitty top rank in house fighters
7. WBA Regular or Interim Champions

I don't want to see
Floyd (shut up, please shut up) Manny(retire, it's over)
Crap judging
Crap undercards
Crap opponents for championship bouts.
