    Fights that wern't controversial the first time having a rematch for absolutley no reason other than to make $$$ from fans and pad your record.

    Floyd Mayweather and Anthony Mundine come to mind.

    Belt holders having a 2 point (or more) advantage before the fight starts.
    Early stoppages.
    Sam Peter hitting guys on the brain stem.

    Too many weight classes, drop the Jr/Super divisions.

    Lack of national commission, and a strong union to protect fighters rights.

    A ref who has to constantly "break" fighters

    . . . rightful fights not happening.

    -Hatton vs Witter
    -Cotto vs Floyd
    -Casa vs Nate Campbell
    - Pavlik vs Abraham

    . . . politics and double standards.

    - Champs being stripped of titles while other are allowed to keep their titles for so long without fighting mandatories.
    - Boxing Organization's naive position on unifications
    - Loose control on erring judges


    . . . stupid ESBers

    - who lost objective reasoning because of nuthugging.
    - who always cry robbery when their fighters lose.
    - TROLLS and MORONS

    They should focus more on the ring girls between rounds :) (Just kidding!)

    PPV is getting quite expensive

    They're getting better with the matchups, but there's still a lot of room for improvement

    The disparity between the 3 judges scorecards

    They should have 10-10 scoring for rounds too close to call

    They should have video replay to assist the referee

    Better medical care, health insurance, life insurance, and pension plans for boxers

    THERE SHOULD BE MORE BOXING PERIOD!!! With 6 billion people in this world, c'mon!

    I actually don't like to see people get hurt. I know that's a paradox since boxing is a lot to do about hurting your opponent. There's not much anyone can do about this. The only thing I do ask for is to increase the safety and medical care for boxers. Boxers should be given the utmost medical treatments after a fight no matter what the expense is. They should also be provided with the latest safety equipments during training, sparring, and the actual fight itself.
