    Godfather I

    Lager

    Football

    Dogs

    I'm not against it but I don't like watching it.

    Pac-Mayweather would be nice and unified HW champ is always good for boxing.

    Its about right given the spread between 7 stone Asian fighters and modern 18+ stone heavyweights.


    Roughly 1000

    none

    1 champ per division, no interim champs or champs in recess etc.

    1. Goodfellas
    2. Jack Daniels
    3. Football & darts
    4. No pets
    5. Im for it if thats what they wanna do but Im not gonna watch it.
    6. At the moment obviously Pacquiao-Mayweather, Haye and one of the Klitschko brothers as well.
    7. Its fine the way it is regarding weight divisions, I might create a super-heavyweight division and do away with cruiserweight but what we really need is one sanctioning body per weight division.
    8. Too many to count through, tapes from years ago.
    9. None
    10. I think I mentioned that in answer seven.

    Worlds fastest Indian, second favourite is Easy Rider, I restored my father's 28 Indian when he passed away. I stopped riding anymore after my son was born as I frightened of being knocked of and leaving the family up the creek.

    No pets but this is the first time in my life since my dog died a couple of years ago I will be 52 this year.

    For women's boxing, fighting is a test of wills.

    Manny and Floyd.

    Weight classes are fine, we need one champ for each one.

    maybe 150 matches.

    no PPV

    To fix, one governing body, much more stringent drug testing (drug testing in boxing is a joke).

    Thank you

    My favorite movie is the exorcist

    like the movie, 8 is enough, 8 divisions is enough for boxing

    and I hate women's boxing. If you watch women's boxing then surely you have no life

    and as far as I'm concerned, the sport of boxing is dead. too much money involved and not enough talent. notice how the attitude is "so and so is the star so he can demand such and such amount"

    since the days of Ray Leonard this attitude prevailed and shorthanged the fans even as they defended such actions
