    Agree

    And Holyfield and the great Roy Jones Junior retired.

    The BBC to remember what boxing is.
    More midweek TV shows.
    The best fighters fighting each other, especially at domestic level.
    And finally, one I've been wishing for for at least thirty years....
    Henry Cooper to accept that Joe Bugner beat him fair and square.

    PBF v Pac Man...:good

    Ricky Burns to remain Champ...:good

    Tony Bellew to be ready to fight Nathan Cleverley...:good

    I would like to see 8 weights, 8 belts and 1 Champion, but that is unrealistic and will never happen...:yep

    I used to wish for same day weigh in's but have changed my view on that as I think that a weigh in the day before is much safer. The saftey of the boxer comes first everytime...:deal

    Hopefully not Pacquiao vs Mosley.

    Can't believe HBO would tolerate three **** Pacquiao fights in a row :-(

    was just thinking how many of todays 3,4,5 and 6 weight world champions would be just 2 or maybe 3 with just 8 weights.

    floyd would of fought at just lightweight and welterweight

    I know it's a real tough call... Even getting a shot at a World Title was much much harder...:yep

    I first get hooked on boxing when Alan Minter fought and beat Vito Auntofermo for the World Title in Las Vegas. I loved the 80's, especially on Sportsnight they always used to show some great fights and the ABA's were always on too...:good

    Midweek Sports Special was great too...:yep

    It was a great era, personally my favourite since I have been watching boxing...:deal

    I bet a lot of fighters used to get shut out for no given reason though...... been working my way through ''The Four Kings'' and it seemed even getting beat didn't make Marvin Hagler any easier to match.

    Even with multiple titles we've got two established linear champions having to resort to calling out challengers....... not good.
