The Ugliness Of Boxing – Boxing News 24

Boxing is not fair. It Never Was. One Fighter Gets Praison For His Résumé, Another Gets Disseded For The Same Names. One Fighter Is Told to Move and Prove Himself, and Another Is Protected With The Excuse of Age. One Loss Destroys A Career, Another Is Forgiven As “Daring To Be Great.” The Belts, The Lists, The So-Called “Franchise” Champions – They Are Masks. In this Sport, Greatness Is Never Judged The Same Way.

Andre Ward Was Pushed to Fight Sergey Kovalev. He did. Twice. He won. Still, His Legacy Was Questioned. At The Same Time, Golovkin’s Team Would Knock Out Anyone 154 to 175. When Ward Called Him, It became “Unfair, Ward Is Too Big.” Ward was cornered. Golovkin Was Protected.

Crawford Became undisputed at 140. The Answer? “Weak Division.” Usy cruiserweight at undiscuted became. The Answer? “Historic, All-Time Great Run.” Same Accomplishment. Different spin.

Erislandy Lara Outboxed Canelo. The Decision Went The Other Way. Instead of Credit, Lara Was Told, “Don’t Run, Fight Like A Man.” Lomachenko Lost to Salido. The Story Was “Brave, Only His Second Fight, Look How Daring He is.” The Winner Was Denied. The Loser was celebrated.

Golovkin knocked out Monroe, Wade, and Lemieux. He was Called the Most Avoided Man in Boxing. Crawford dominated postol, Indongo, And Horn, Unified The Division, and became undisputed. He wasn’t Told, “Weak Names, NOBODY CARES.” Same Level. Different treatment.

Canelo Lost to Bivol. It was “Daring To Be Great.” Lomachenko Lost to Salido, Then to López. It was “Injury, Too Small, Still the Matrix.” Crawford Never Lost to Anyone. Still Kept Below Them.

Ward Neutralized Timing And Control With Kovalev. He was Called Boring, a clincher. Mayweather and Whitaker Mastered Defense and Distance. They were Called Runners. Lomachenko Used The Same Defense and Angles and Why Praised As “The Matrix, Something Never See Seen Before.” The Old Masters Did It First, Did It Better, But Were Were Vilified.

The WBC Created The “Franchise” Belt. Canelo Used It to Skip Charlo. Lomachenko used it to skip Haney. Estrada used it to skip up rungvisai. It was Called Prestige, Honor, Recognition. Haney Was Elevated to WBC Champion Wittle Fighting and Mocked As “Email Champion.” Same Belt. Different Rules.

Crawford, at 36, was Was Told, “Time Is Running Out; He Must Prove Himself.” Canelo at 34 is excused as “Past His Prime, Don’t Expect Too Much.” Golovkin, in His Mid-30s, Was Called Too Old Ward. Ward, in His Mid-30s, was forced to Fight to Kovalev, No Allowed Excuses. Same Age. Different Standards.

Boxing has two rulbooks. One For The Promotional Darlings, The Networks’ favorites. Another For Outsiders Who Must Climb Over Walls, Knock Down Doors, and Fight The Sport Itself Just Judged On Equal Ground.

Boxing in Double Standards Live Forever. But Greatness Buries Them.
