Deontay Wilder couldn't beat Gerry Cooney's doughy step brother tonight. 

Boxing is done as a sport.

Has been for a while now.  Unless you are a serious boxing guy and watch the lower weight classes you aren't going to know many of them.  Heavyweight died with Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Moorer,  Mercer, Ruddick...etc

Hence the stunt last year with Connor and Floyd. That was the best thing they had produced in years. Sad state indeed.

Was listening to one of the top two promoters the other night on Ferrall.
Said they no longer look for seasoned fighters like Roy Jones Jr. because all of the lead-up takes so much out of them. They spot talent earlier and groom it much faster now so yes we end up with what we have in a bout that's overhyped and too many rounds.
