I agree Louiejames626 let's see the weekly ESPN Top Rank Shows from 1980 thru 1986 when you could follow the progress of the "up and coming fighters" as they worked their way up the ladder to the major network fights on ABC, NBC, CBS and then HBO. The era when the sport of boxing gave us something to look forward to every week.

I was mad I missed him…. I was supposed to start training with frank ward after the snow got off the ground…. And I caught a shooting…. Ain’t even gonna lie… a hero to me…

Definitely think this is around 2004 most likely the Robert Allen fight as the Grant sparring gear also lines up around that timeline when they switch to the newer logo with “Grant” written underneath it. The 2001 time line the Grant logo was a circle logo before they changed it around the time Roy Jones started promoting their gear.

Was in pub last night. And heard someone talking about the usyk fury rematch. You just dont hear mma fights being mentioned its no where near as big as boxing. And never will be. Thats why the moneys crap in comparison,. 90% of the fights end up on the floor grappling. Boring and mundane. And few more years non existent. All you hear on internet is people making exuses for it
