    first Calzaghe retires and claims boxing is "dying" and now Hatton's on the brink of retirement (sure as hell not in the spotlight) and he's claiming it too. WTF. every fighter who thinks he's the biggest draw in boxing thinks that when their day in the sun ends the sport is gonna die off. what a load of ****!! **** those two for betraying what gave them the opportunity to be who they are. no respect. :cus

    Boxing is going through a bad patch but its far from the death of the sport. A good set of young fighters needs to come through in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions to liven things back up.

    I disagree, a lot of good things are happening in the sport right now. A couple of divisions suck but overall I think the sport is in excellent shape.

    Yeah, true, prolly JC and Ricky should just temporarily retire and do a short stint in WWE before coming back to boxing.

    That would be much more respectful to the sport.

    I guess it depends on were you live...We Americans think that heavyweight boxng sucks ass right now, for most its because there are really no top American heavyweights. For me I have always thought that heavyweight boxing was the worst of all...For the Eastern Europeans they think its the best heavyweight era of all times. Its all in the way you look at it and were the top fighters are from.

    Right now if you live in the UK boxing in general sucks right now..Hey you still got Haye:good


    Calzaghe was never a big part of boxing until the very end of his career, and he got there by fighting on the seniors tours. Hatton is just dizzy from getting his head smashed in his two big step up fights. Bitter abit I guess.

    Basically for as long as there's been two people willing to step into a confined area to do battle with their fists.
