Is this the End of Boxing.

with guys and there boring styles and no heart out there in the ring.

i believe we as fans should be up in arms about guys like

Ricky Hatton (and his hit once close the opponents hitting room and clinch for dear life, then every now and then hit low)

PBF ( for the best most exciting fighter in the world ive only seen this guy show me once he was devasting and that was aginst a done Gatti)

Cory Spinks (a guy that some how thinks we love it that he can throw 12 punch's and not get hit in return wow)

Jermain Taylor ( a guy that just does enough to win and shows no heart in the ring at all)

i want the 80's to come back to boxing i didnt become a fan of the most exciting sport in history to be bored to death.

whe are fans of these type guys going to say enough is enough when are going to realize that Manny Pacquiao,MAB,Calzaghe,Margarito and Cotto and even Judah are what boxing should be about.

Heart and not the money hoe type guys that dont like to go to war.
when will fight fans realize that our sport is just hanging on because of constant politics from TV networks and money hungry managers and yet we keep feeding the guys that are boring our money because Ring want us to believe that boxing isnt about being exciting anymore its about one thing winning and it doesnt matter if you do it like a coward or you wrestle your way there it only matters if the money keeps coming in.

well not my money. thats it from me tell me when the next guy with at least half a heart turns up.
a Roberto Duran or maybe a Marvin Hagler or maybe a Tommie Hearns or matbe a Mike Tyson or maybe a Kostya Tszyu or maybe a Roy Jones or maybe a Azumah Nelson.
anyone with a Heart and some balls to not be protected.

i will probably get a bit of **** for this post of some of the fans but for the good of our sport im prepared to take that chance.

 

yeah well if i was living in the past i would only be able to watch such guys like
The 80's only had boring fighters like
Roberto Duran
Ray Leonard
Tommie Hearns
Mike Tsyon
Marvin Hagler
Julio C Chavez
Azumah Nelson
Larry Holmes
Jeff Fenech
Terry Norris
Mike McCallum
Loyd Honeyghan
Pernell Whitaker
Alexis Arguello
Ray Mancini
Hector Camancho
Salvador Sanchez
Eusebio Pedroza

Yet now we are truely blessed with
Cory Spinks
Ricky Hatton
John Ruiz
Jermaine Taylor
Floyd Mayweather
Winky Wright
did i miss something or are the stars of today heartless, gutless, protected money cows.

gee i miss the 80's

 

good post and i agree with it being pressure from to many parts.
Managers,Family,Promoters etc.

and it is right but i feel the guys that step up take the chances and let there hands go not worry about the rest. you will start to see more fights like what we saw in Cotto vs Judah and less Spinks vs Taylor type fights.

its just really frustrating right now because the 80's got me started on boxing and the 90's kept the same sort of intensity with guys like Hopkins,Jones,Toney,Tszyu,Dela Hoya,Lewis,Tua,Gatti,Ward,Hamed etc really exciting guys yet as soon as we hit 2000 its like no i have to pick the exact right opponent so i dont lose my investment.

just getting really frustrated especially when theres like 10 guys out there going no im the best no but im the best and all there ding is beating up on older type guys instead of fighting guys in there prime like the 80's.

 

yes i think we were spoilt back then and now well what can i say.

as for Ali i was never impressed with his style or lack of excitment when it came to fighting but i believe his boxing brain was far better than any others.

i would rather watch Joe Louis or Mike Tyson and there styles any day of the week before id watch ALI.

 

THE END IS COMING.

i can see the future and it doesnt look great.
