I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.
I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.
So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"
such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport
Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.
Discuss and have fun.

Those scores should have been way closer.
But ******* 11-1 rounds? That is ****** up.

Having said that, I think Alvarez/GGG is the better fight. Cotto looked like he needed a second wind to keep his foot speed up and against GGG that would've been bad. Alvarez has more power and looks like he can deliver a better shot. Cotto would've had a bad matchup against GGG as Alvarez didn't really cut the ring, but GGG actually has that skill. So, overall, I'm conflicted. Happy that we get the better fight, but sad that Cotto didn't get the win he in all likelihood deserved.

"Mexican Blake Griffin is going to get ****** UP BY GGG!"
It's cute that you think he's ever going to fight him ... or at least fight him before he starts dipping out of his prime. Canelo's young enough, he can wait for GGG to drop a notch or two and then he'll go full Floyd and say "there you see? I fought him, now what you got to say?"
I don't see Canelo fighting GGG within the next 2-2.5 years. Then, when Canelo's a prime 27-28 and Gennady's a nice ripe 36-37 he's going to "shock the world".
He'll find a way ... most likely only agree to fight him at a super low weight even though he's fought higher before to avoid the "he refulsed to fight him so he'll be stripped" thing.
******* boxers.
