i just read that and Simmons is a perfect example of why boxing is outside the mainstream: ignorance.
fuckin stupid guy. Obviously he hasn't seen Cotto or Marquez lately. He's one of these ESPN clowns who thinks the best fighter ever is Tyson and boxing is only the HW and MW division. We've all had alot of discussion about the exaggeration and ignorance concerning the state of boxing, but it's sad to see an "expert" of the "world's leader in sports" to be talking this nonsense. THIS is what hurts boxing, not the "lack of talent" or the corruption that has always been involved in the sport, and it was at its most corrupt when it was the most popular sport for christs sake.
is Oscar-PBF the first superfight in a long time? Boxing has a bunch of great fights w/ one mega fight once in a while. No sport has a bunch of mega games and such. Unfortunately, clowns like Simmons only see the megafights.
