Keep em coming! If Nate Robinson getting planked wasn't enough to make these fools realize boxing is not some stupid fad that anybody can do because they "feel" they can fight, they'll see worse outcomes.

All of these goofy celebrity bouts need to be exhibitions. I don't wanna see one of these clowns rolled out on a stretcher trying to be a fighter. This **** takes YEARS to perfect...you can't get it one training camp, regardless of who trains you.

Yeah doesnt matter as long as youtubers are running the boxing game ppl with equal to or less box experience gonna be looking for there check. Unless yout a heavyweight dont do it. Heavyweight sure u cant coach power and size if your like 6`6 plus with an 80 plus reach yeah give it a try jab and grab strategy alone not hard to learn n win off. But u aint such please dont try outside youtubers n retirees

Another one that has blown his career earnings and looking to boxing for a stimulus check. Yet I keep hearing boxing is dead and MMA is flourishing but yet everyone and their mama including current and faded MMA fighters begging for boxing paydays.

Frank Gore's arrival in San Francisco was the first step out of the wilderness towards the promised land. Broke my heart he got traded. Would be valuable on the roster even today.

He should still be there as an assistant coach helping bring the younger guys along IMO. True leader.

The fact that washed up old MMA guys can leverage their name into getting paydays and PPV main events in boxing now with zero experience says a lot. You dont see middle aged ex-boxers showing up on UFC cards every few weeks, and you wouldnt have seen MMA guys getting that kind of pay and platform in boxing back in the day.

Try again. Boxing is a free market enterprise. It has become a machine and will churn out performers irrespective of where they are from. Boxing is the one creating the platform and hence the reason why those guys can attain that level of success. You act like that is a detriment to boxing. I see it as an evolution and the fact that those guys can come out and do what they do under a boxing platform and make the most money they 've ever made underscores its relevance and debunks its that its exaggerated death.

Yeah most of the biggest boxing fights of the year so far, the biggest of last year and the biggest of the last 5 years all not involving actual active boxers definitely underscores boxings relevance lol.
