    I wonder if it is not the fault of us boxing fans that the sport has declined so much. If we as fans DEMANDED more from our fighters and boycotted fighters who duck and fight lesser fighters in thier next fight after said duck. Show them with our wallets we don't but the BS and excuses. If Bowe would have been shunned and dumped by fans not making any money would he have been forced to face Lewis? If noone would watch or support Haye in his next fight would he be forced in the ring with Wladimir? Or if Manny and Floyd are not fighting EACH other..........tune out for both . We all know what "Money" fights for. Do we as fans have to force the best to fight the best? I think so. With our wallets. Can anyone else name big duckers that still made a fortune off our backs for fighting lesser competetion? Thoughts fight fans?:twisted:
