    I love watching boxing at the Olympics. Really hope this does not happen but if so the sport only has itself to blame.

    No need to say it any different, this is the most accurately described.

    What a disgrace this would be if this happens. Think of all the other weird and wonderful sports now part of the Olympic portfolio, (skateboarding and tug of war I'm looking at you).

    Boxing is one of the oldest original sports, and I'm sympathetic also to the individuals that have spent their entire life, building up to attempting to stand on that podium, thwarted by a few corrupt individuals.

    I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing

    Has to be a bad thing. Gives so many boxers a massive platform to jump into the Pro game with.

    AJ noway would have been the star he is if he'd started in 4 rounders at a Leisure centre somewhere
