    All of them punched pretty hard. And they aren't the fighters I'm thinking of. Think of Paulie Malignaggi - he's a good fighter and championship level at his best. He would never win a title.

    This idea is just madness, buddy. It wouldn't solve a damn thing.

    I was thinking more of certain fights involving JMM, thats when I really started losing the plot...I think what i'm trying to say is that in my grumpy old state I find that the sport has lost a bit of its edge, gone a bit metro-sexual like D-MAC. A recent catalyst for my outburst was probably watching the championship rounds of Rudkin - Clark II, or George Feeney - Ray Catouse...proper fighters, fighting at a proper weight, and both epic contests

    Boxing has gone a bit left wing, making sure everyone has a title in the interests of fairness and equality... health & safety culture with 12 rounds instead of 15, stuff like that.

    I agree Gaz, don't get me started on the number of belts...and if there were only one belt per division then whether Malignaggi could bang or not he wouldn't be getting anywhere near it

    You have a point there. But, it will never happen unless they form an international body, funded by all promoters and with an independent review board.

    Nah, it will NEVER happen, too much money to be mae by making the sport increasingly **** it seems. Shame.

    Exactly why Greb will never be surpassed as the greatest of all time.

    Its **** all to do with left wing mate, more titles equals more money. If anything thats a right wing ideology.;)

    The safety is a tricky question, boxing came pretty close IMHO to getting banned in the 1990s after a string of deaths/ brain injuries. They brought in early weigh-ins to help boxers re-hydrateand, while most purists don;t like them, they seem to be doing to job and keeping the BMA and the "ban boxing" mob off our back.
