Reasons why boxing sucks, but I still love it. . .

In most sports you compete in tournaments, which eventually will pitch the best against the best.. Because they are run by a common governing body..
In boxing it is up to promoters with private firms and selfish interests to make the best fights happen, which doesn't always happen.

 

The reason boxing sucks is because world class athletes are a thing of the past. I mean look at it you can have multiple world champions in one single weight division. How ****ing stupid is that? Plus everyone is lazy and the fights are boring. Look at the Klitschkos (don't care if I spelled it right) are giant, boring, way too cautious and fight absolute nobody's!! A prime Tyson would clear the heavyweight division of today with virtually no effort!! Basically this day in age anybody can be a fighter, anybody can be a singer, anybody can be an actor. The time of working hard at something is long gone.

 

Compared to Tyson everybody is boring...

 

Other sports are built around games that even small children can play. Nobody plays boxing.

 

I agree with this part..

 

In most sports you will retire with faculties intact.

In boxing, one night can easily leave you in a wheelchair for the rest of you life.

But I still love it.

 

I guess you're too young to remember baseball greats Willie Mays or Carl Yastremski falling as they ran around the bases in their final years. Or washed up quarterbacks who were starters in their primes carrying clipboards as backups. Every sport has stories of guys who hung on too long.

 

Boxing, overall, is still near the top for me. It's the divas that are at the top, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Donaire that stink up boxing. Pac v May should have happened. Donaire v Rigo should happen.

Frankly, I dont care anymore about seeing any of those guys on PPV. Pac v Mayweather could be a stinker anyway. Better fights have happened. Froch v Bute, Rios v Alvarrado, Mares v anybody, Khan v anybody. Broner, Russell, Rigo, GGG, maybe even Quillen. There's plenty of good left in boxing.

 

Boxing FTW!!!

 

One of the reasons why boxing is declining in the U.S and all across the world is the lack of boxing gyms. Blame the government and urban planners for turning land into houses, malls, and schools. Simply put we have too many of them. This is especially true in states where there is abundant amount of suburban homes.

 

I don't really mind the multiple belts, I think there is too many weight divisions. Also boxers are much bigger and heavier then they are in the past, and the sanctioning bodies needs to relax on the PEDS. Almost every drug is now illegal to take, combined with the terrible economy, this is the current state of boxing.

 

UFC is quiet as a DEAD church mouse.

The diluting of the the World Championship with ridiculous ABC belts, silver, super and mickey mouse titles, is by far the most annoying thing. Weight division dont bother me as long as fighters dont use them as an excuse to duck good challengers. Clearing out a division will always be more impressive than skipping up a few pounds and winning another abc title. it is the most aesthetically pleasing sport for me, which has plenty of history and is truly global. Plenty to like. Can be **** though.
