Didn't UFC/MMA grow by putting out a reality show contender series?

Boxing should put one out for upcoming prospects

Yes UFC did grow by putting out there show on Spike. That Griffin/Bonner fight was legendary and we all talked about it at work the next day

A boxing reality show would be dope, but they can't skimp on the boxing. I remember the 1st season of contender with the edited highlights with all the over dramatic ass music. Boxingtalk getting everyone heated by spoiling who won. Simpler times.

An updated pros vs joes would be dope too.

I remember the UK had a show where 2 regular blokes learned to box and would end up facing each other in a real bout. That shyt was dope cuz it should a lot of the training and how regular out of shape people had to go hard.

Muhammad Ali should have retired in 1978 after he won the rematch to Leon Spinks

I agree. Had no business fighting Holmes.

Big up Bill and Devin, his career has been managed exceptionally so far

The only misstep in my eyes is not running it back with Loma. That's always going to be a blemish on his career IMO.

If running it back is the only bad thing about Devin, how do you feel about Davis's career?

He's protected but he's one of the few fighters casuals care about. They've handled his business properly but as a boxing fan, it's definitely disappointing.......especially when they had to pull out all the stops and rehydration clauses just to fight Ryan Garcia.

Whoa - imagine if true?
That page doesn’t seem to post BS either.

I doubt that Tank’s team would take that risk but a very exciting fight is happens, don’t even know who I’d pick to win suddenly and that’s rare.
And imagine the fukkery during the build up

Floyd said before thats the fight he wants to see/think is bigger than the stuff dudes are asking for now (Shakur) paired with Tank no matter what PBC haters said he is at the point in his career he wants to knock dudes of his generation off.

That said I would think they use Issac Cruz as a Money fight Tune Up first but we will see.

It’s not hating if it’s legit criticism.
He’s talked up by his fans as a generational talent for years and as a cash cow he has all the juice to get whatever fight he wants so let’s see those top fights already. Fighting Garcia was a step in the right direction but Lopez, Haney and Shakur are actual top level fighters unlike Garcia.

Time to call his own shots like how Canelo does. Feels like he still let Haymon, Floyd and whoever to have a big say in who he fights. The Cruz rematch is a typical in-house struggle matchup if it happens which has no real demand for it.

He could just go free agent or make deals for only a few fights with networks and just pick and choose whoever he wants to fight.

Anyway, I hope what you’re saying is true and he really moves on to fight top talent.
