    hmm says...

    1. crap-arranged under-cards
    2. too many belts
    3. fighters that fight for money and not for the sport or for the fans. They don't fight the best and we miss out on lots of potential big fights.

    lol the hbo guys arent to bad... and neither is when fans boo.... i like when fans boo.... it means theres a bad guy & a good guy which makes for good fights

    on one hand i agree... but on the other the big money fights usually end up being interesting
    very good pick

    1. too many weight divisions
    2. too many rounds, makes fighters run and clinch too much
    3. weak heavyweight division, good athletes prefer other sports

    1) different organizations in Boxing - they should have one and one only.
    2) mismatches and PPV's that go along with them
    3) corrupt scoring/judges

    1) Obvious mis-matches to boost a fighters record even when hes well into in doubel digits

    2) idiotic fans who really don't have a clue about the sport and think it's supposed to be just two guys pushing their fists at eachother til one falls down, knowing nothing about rythm, simple things like setting up combos with the jab and finding the distance with it, and judge well respected fighters by their records as crap because they just heard of them and decided to look them up on box-rec and nit-pick some losses(for example a TKO caused by cut usually leads the un-educated box-rec checkers to believe the fighter was just over-whelmed and blown out). In other words, usually people who have never been in the ring or a fight of any kind.

    3)Promoters and alphabet orgs making ludicrous fights instead of one proper ranking system.



    oh and two more...Frank Warren and Don ****, people should boy-cott any fights made by these *******s.
