Have you ever seen so many fights falling through???

the froch v abraham postponement and the marquez v lopez fight are recent examples, but all year this has been happening, i cant even remember most of them, macklin v barker too, ahhh jeez it has been crazy

the exact opposite of what the sport needs

+1 Bird

And SRH, I dont recall any year being this bad where almost every major/significant fight falls apart/post poned

I think and really hope its just a bad year for boxing. I am optimistic about next year but its becoming very hard to keep defending it when all this keeps occuring. Its like being an Allan Green fan.

This year has indeed been hard to be a boxing fan. For the first time in my life, my interest in the sport has wained a little due to all of the BS that has gone on lately...

Injuries happen all the time, we're just unlucky that it's happened to the high profile boxers this year.

I am thinking like you on this one. I think its just a coincidence.

Two things to blame.

1. Fighters not behaving like fighters.
2. HBO/Al Haymon

I would venture that Froch is legitimately injured. He may whine outside of the ring, but he shows up and fights his ass off.

When your fighters get injured and everyone else are pussies, what can you expect?

Fighters found in the above links. Just don't expect everyone to have tucked chins.

It's Brandon Rios.

Seriously Bird get HBO and Showtime hooked up ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!

hahha i will try my good man I will try

We need some young prospects to be excited about who wont get hurt. My pick: Brandon Rios, the guy took like five shots to the nuts and didn't stop swinging against Peterson. This kid has a bright future and he's tough as nails.

I know injuries happen in MMA, but so do relevant fights. Strange no?

I think it was almost as bad last year for fights being cancelled. The year started great with Mosley-Margo and Marquez-Diaz but after that every good fight was being cancelled. It did end well with Cotto-Pac and Williams-Martinez though. This year has been worse though. I don't think there has been as many fights cancelled but most of the fights we've gotten have been disappointing. Best fights I've seen this year have been Froch-Kessler and Dirrell-Abraham. I haven't seen Calderon-Segura or Martinez-Burns yet though.

Too many chiefs in Boxing which makes everything harder.

I agree. His next fight should be against a top 5 guy IMO.

Come on Wolfie lets not start this tired old tedious debate again, MMA is no saint there are plenty of big fights have never happened for whatever reason.
