    How ruthlessly? Currently Wladamir would be stripped for not matching Vitali and Pacquiao-Mayweather would probably be unmakable too (with Mosley interuppting their fight as champion or #1 contender).

    In my system Vitally might never have gained the status of No1 challenger, because any aspiring beltholder would have had to go through Wladamir, hence when he comes out of retirment he has to either be prepared to fight his brother or be second teir.

    It would break my heart to make them fight of course.

    Pac Mayweather probably would stand under my system because they are both ranked top 3 at welter and are the pound for pound 1 and 2. The difference is that Pacquiao would have fought Mosley instead of Cotto.

    Movie: The Wild Bunch

    Drink: mineral water

    Sport: MMA

    Pets: none, but had a dog in the past

    Women's boxing: for, although I don't watch it

    Needed match: no brainer, Floyd vs Pac

    Weight divisions: should go back to the original 8 plus a cruiserweight 200lbs division

    Fights on tape: I have 200 hundred or so

    PPV: none, I don't own a tv and always go to a bar or a friends' place to watch the big fights, more fun that way

    FIxing boxing: go to 9 weight classes, one sanctioning body and one champ per division. Mandatory boxer's pension scheme paid by a % of the purse. Stop home-town decisions and home-town alphabet "champions". Improve drug testing to olympic levels. No 3-knockdown or standing 8 count rules. Hotter ring girls :D

    Hopefully David Haye will sort out the heavyweight picture - Pac will reign supreme - get rid of the alphabet boys and bring back 15 rounds and maybe teach it in physical education at school again even if just for the fitness aspect if no sparring aloud in schools

    In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing? Making a united boxing council, with one globally goverened body! Whereby there is a globally accepted set of rules, that each fighter must adhere to, as well as no more abc titles and the reinstatment of the 15 rd limit in title fights only!

But overall it was very entertaining. Miklo is a crackup,and so is the guy who tried to **** him in prison, Give me Chon Chone:rofl:rofl

    Approx 50

    0
    In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?
    Organized Fighting Championship
    Less Weight Classes
    Better PR for fighters and fights
    International Venues (as opposed to ny, atlantic city and la)
    Better union between US and Euro fighters
    Better undercards with perhaps 6 round fights for up and comers
    Less HBO PPV and more free to air boxing, it's hurting the sport.
    Better Judges
    More creativity in marketing

    Also i hate in the big fights where the analysts kill the commentating with over analysis. It's all contradictory and confuses anyone else who doesn't anything of short of live boxing. They get all pernickity aswell.

    Basketball, NFL all the rest have clear protocol when commentating and works well. I would like to see the analysists be put on a leash a bit more. Some of the **** Atlas comes out with is cringe worthy aswell.

    Not the best movie ever made nor the best acting, but a very good movie. Funny as hell to.

    It's my fave' movie cause you see these three family members make huge changes from one bad life choice.

    Miklo is funny, all he wants to do is fit in.

    The guy that tried to **** him is Popye Savidra. :shock::shock::shock:

    I thought it is a lot closer to real life then most movies.

    Yey i thought the Cousin who was a boxer then turned cop was a good role and He reminded me of a few people that ive known,especially before he was a cop when he was still gangbanging. Miklo is a funny Charachter.

    That guy Popye Savidra was funny but totally unrealistic. He dont even look Mexican, looks like an Aboriginie:lol: And his accent was unrealistic and horrible,didnt look like no cholo either. Good movie though, i thought American ME was a more realistic.

    Where do you live Gesta?
