I've been thinking lately about the fights that are being talked about/are in the works.
There seems to be a lot of pressure for fighters to continually face the biggest fighter name wise as possible,with little regard for fighting a big chunk of extra weight either way, or for the longevity of their careers and their health.
Also seems that valid fringe fighters and contenders are being avoided or frozen out,and promoters look to sell numbers rather than sell a fight.
I mean two fighters that IMO are really up there in terms of legacy are Hopkins and calzaghe, who both defended against lesser named contenders, but had solid reigns and no doubt proved over time that they could hang at elite level,are still healthy IMO due to a few softer fights.
I know we all want to see amazing potential fights, but what do you think?
