0 comments by on 1/1/2016

2015 was a strange year for boxing. Like “Charles In Charge,” we took a lot of “bad” to go with the “good.” We got huge fights like Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, free fights like Keith Thurman vs Robert Guerrero, and no fights like Showtime.

There was a time, and it wasn’t terribly long ago, when Andre Ward was perched quite high on the shortlist of elite fighters.
