    Undercards are usually shocking..

    Its not until you watch a UFC card that you realise how weak the boxing ones are.

    the WBA with their multiple champions....sigh

    Casual fans who seem to know it all when Hatton or Calzaghe are fighting- e.g- I've heard "Calzaghe will knock out Hopkins in a round":patsch

    I don't like when certain promoters try and ruin the brilliant concept that is prize fighter.

    - Sky's boxing commentary - Darke, Watt, Nelson especially - ITV4 100% better...

    - Sky's coverage and build-up to the big fights, how about seeing some of the undercards live as well as the ring entrances etc....

    - Dave Parris et al- why is it that there is absolutely no hesitation for football commentators to criticise a ref but a boxing commentator keeps his mouth shut?

    - Homer decisions that don't get the proper 'stewards enquiry' analysis that they deserve

    - the lateness in which the complete bill is confirmed

    - the lack of boxing news programmes (such as Bunceys Boxing Hour)

    - Too many belts - one of the main so-called advantages when more belts were introduced was that it meant that one promoter could not dominate the main fights in a division. Well, we have went too far in the other extreme and hence, we are missing out on some potentially great fights.
