The only 'cancer' in boxing are the federations, not it's participants

    there's no point people raging on here after a robbery, poor decision or fighters exploiting the 'system', when the system itself is broken and INVITES its players to take advantage of that

    if cheats are rife and discredit other sports that are governed by one governing body (football match fixing, drugs in cycling and athletics), then imagine how much corruption and cheating really goes on in boxing that the public doesn't know about

    ego and $$$ guarantee this, and the holes created by fragmented federations just allow more avenues for ALL those involved with boxing to rewrite some of the rulebook, because who is going to punish them?

    'integrity' is a word that cannot be used by any federation at any time, because unless they amalgamate, they are a liability that does not exist for the betterment of the sport

    expect more disappointments, rule changes, long-term matchups for $$$ over legit challenges, and unfathomable scorecards...

    WBC has a rule that has threatened its champions with stripping them should they unify their title with another. yet it allows Danny Garcia to have another organizations belt in stark contradiction to their rule.
    they strip certain champions very quickly should they not make a certain defense like they did tim bradley, yet vitali will have sat on his title for 15 or 16 months should his next fight ever come off, there is still no projection date
