Boxing is so dead!

Also this, with lack of a proper organisation there is no fixing the problems in boxing and they wont compete with mma in the long run.
And youth going into mma instead of boxing is killing boxing in the long run.

 

Boxing is definitely on shaky legs. The majority of top fighters don't fight each other anymore.

 

A bunch of egos building delusions for themselves. They don't want to be objectively measured in true competition. We need more tournaments and less bullshits. A system of double elimination works great and at the end you have the true number one winning. No bull****.

 

Now I understand why Don king payed boxers less so that they fight more than 2 times a year.

Absolute legend Don King xD

 

I miss when boxing was on Tuesdays and Friday Night Fights..

boxing needs to go back to that. There is nothing on those days..

 

Exactly!

And aren't we lucky to be around today, where we can watch most of these fights live... or at least the following day on YouTube?

 

In the HW division, the biggest factor is Fury ducking / stalling everything. The division is full of good fighters, really, but Fury's constant retirement / unretirement / fighting for half a billy / fighting Charr / fighting Joshua but he needs to sign the contract TODAY / fighting trilogies with the likes of Chisora / still not signing the contract for the Usyk bout / etc is killing the division.

 

The sport is going to ****. Far too much politics and the best fights either not getting made or being made too late.

Compare it to MMA and in particular the UFC where the best consistently fight the best and where nobody really gives two flying ****s about there precious '0' - boxing is now a mile off.

 

All these "nothing worth watching today", "skill level is abysmal", "boxing at an all-time low" types... I wish we could time-machine them back to boxing's heyday in the 1920s, let them stay there for the entire decade - and then have them brought back to today, where they can tell us about how great it was to be a boxing fan 100 years ago!

 

Boxing will never die but it’s definitely in the doldrums now.

 

Yep, this is very true. Kids and adults typically follow whatever's most popular. MMA has been all the rage for awhile now.

Ironically, I didn't care for boxing at all growing up.

 

Too many belts. One belt per division would sort it.

 

Boxing and UFC are basically 90% dead right now here in the USA. In boxing it's because of the lack of professionalism, charisma and fighters scared of fighting each other whatever the reason is.
