    Why would any fighter put up with this nonsense?

    I cant believe tha amount of money fighters have to pay those crooks. I think the way to go is for more fighters to vacate belts like Barrera did

    I remember Lennox Lewis throwing his WBC belt in the trash can, where it rightfully belongs.

    the whole idea of a fighter paying for his belt disgusts me, remember reading yohnny perez made less as a champ then as a contender because of fees

    destroy the WBF, IBO, IBA, etc, and everyone involved and the stuff like "silverbelt" and "iterium, regular" these things are getting ridiculous even for boxing standards

    nothing to do with fees just this is more important for boxing.

    Bowe just wanted to have a lot of low risk/high reward fights before getting around to Lewis. Its a shame though, Bowe Lewis would of been a great fight imo

    That would have been the greatest fight that never was. What with their amateur history. Damn, whatever happened to bowe?
