    You bought the latest issue? Oscars face blazzed across the front, with one measly article on page 76, its blatant GBP propaganda. And the fact its reviewing fights from 800bc does not help too much. Could undertand if it was like Boxing Digest, but its got a UK run now???

    GBP propaganda? I think you're being a little paranoid, I'm sure they've done retirement interviews for other people.

    It's a disgrace isn't it and it's killing the sport.

    The WBA and the WBC have really become a farce with all their champions.

    get rid of super belts, get rid of interim belts, go back to the old weight classes, shrink the glove size, shrink the ring size....

    it's all easy stuff.

    Its ridiculous, but what really annoys me is when boxing writers in newspapers and on the radio refer to people like Haye, Froch and Khan as world champions, without even mentioning the other champions in the same weight. As much as I like and support them, none of them are true world champions in my opinion.

    The Ring one seems the way to go.
