    1) Too many belts. Never really liked the idea of 10 championships belts for every division with 3 being major, makes it look like a circus.

    2) Trash talkers who consider themselves legends yet made careers fighting cabdrivers. Perfect examples to look into: Chavez Sr., Chavez Jr. and Concreto.

    3) ******ed overweight fans who talk down on other fighters. Good example: Freddy "KFC with the family with pics'n **** yo" Lokz.

    Bad matchmaking and mismatched or overmatched fighters...

    The continued saga of terrible decisions in Europe mostly at Sauerland events..

    The way fights at the highest level can be ruined or never happen because of human greed ... MONEY is or can be the ruin of our game... eg..(Lewis v Bowe) (Michelcewski v Jones)

    You're outta your ****in mind. When does Paul complain? If anything, he does more for the sport by forcing guys to fight. But fighters like Cotto's ***** ass will keep avoiding him and hide behind their promoters.

    1) ABC's: to me this is the obvious #1. Their joke ratings and random rules for belt retention derail more potentially good fights than just about anything.

    2) Bad/corrupt judging. Boxing stands alone among major sports as the worst for this. It's only rival, ironically, is its absolute antithesis: figure skating. The amount of blood, sweat and deserved paydays of fighters that is flushed down the toilet of lousy judging is appalling.

    3) Risk/reward factor. I understand it, of course, but boxing stands alone as a sport in which you can avoid good competion because it doesn't suit you. A cleanup of 1) would help this a great deal, but never fully eliminate it. It's engrained in the nature of the sport.

    Exactly! What's with this bull****!?!?!?!? It's killing the sport more than anything else that people mention. You don't see teams ducking other teams because the revenue won;t be as good. Whoever is up next should fight for the belts, regardless of who has the biggest draw.

    Then you got fans acting like agents, trying to justify that bull****. True fans should want to see the best in the ring against the best. And eventually the sport will start to generate more money long term for everyone.
