I would like honorable, objective men to be in charge. Pasted from earlier: People forget boxing should be a sport -- it isn't often anymore. Where the best used to compete, a product is now manufactured, marketed and sold. What makes matters worse is that all the strong arms in boxing have an interest in keeping it that way -- they are the ones profiting the most of the circus international boxing has become. The losers in the equasion? The journeymen and also the very boxers that were once on the beneficiary end of the equasion. Beware when you're a 'name' that no longer has the goods -- I point to Riddick Bowe(now braindamaged), McCall (hauled out of rehab so Lewis could 'avenge' a loss), even former ATG's like Chavez(used to pad the record of DLH and Tszyu) and countless others. Holyfield is an accident waiting to happen. Will it? Who knows. Will anyone care? No-one important. No-one with the power to change a goddamn thing. Boxing is ruled over by dishonorable men with dollar signs behind their eyelids who use boxers, the ones we admire and come to see, like workhorses, to be used, used up, exploited and discarded.
i'd make each champion have a manditory defense every 3months or they gotta relinquish the title... like damn, it's boxing... i wanna see um' box, if not retire and let someone else have da title, ya dig
