Random thot but since it's almost done I feel that 2015 is the best year of boxing in decades

I ain't no historian so iont know if there was a year better in the 1800s or something
But this year has really been tremendous in almost every category possible

Every mega fight we wanted happened this year (Mayweather/Pac, Cotto/Canelo)
This year our sport went from only 3 networks and 2 days a week to like 12 networks and 5 days a week

Wilder kicked the year off by becoming America's champ and gave us 3 great fights which used to be a rarity in his division
Yes :deadklit: put on 2 horrendous fights this year but :deadklit: was upset and left befuddled by the young Tyson Fury
Heavyweight division has gone through a much needed changing of the guard this year and 2016 looks to continue the trend

We've had plenty of great fights this year and a majority of them were televised in America
There's usually 2-3 legit FOTY contenders but this year there's almost 5x that amount in legit FOTY contenders
There's been a ton of upsets, close call after close call and crazy KO after KO

We've been steadily feasting this year and we really deserve it too
After years of PPV's and most fights stuck behind a secondary pay wall we deserve to feast like this
We and the rest of America deserve to watch boxing on national tv like it used to be

Usually when a really good year happens in our sport the next year is a disappointment
But 2016 is setting up to follow the greatness that was 2015
Wilder starts the year and Garcia/Guerrero break new ground on FOX
February looking full with Thurman/Porter, Martinez/Salido 3 and Frampton/Quigg
:salute:to everyone for giving us an amazing 2015 and lets do it again in 2016
:obama:yea this was a dope year.

One Time wasn't ducking after all :blessed:
I never thought he was ducking.

I would have thought that nikkas learned already from Floyd/Khan & Floyd/Manny that just because somebody is always running their mouth to the media doesn't mean they're actually trying to make the fight happen, and that just because somebody remains quiet doesn't mean they're at fault :mjpls:

But then again, I have to remind myself that fans never apply the same standards for Floyd as they do for everybody else :mjpls:
