    Bob Arum -- he manipulates the sport for his own well being and provides second tier pay-per-views.

    Floyd Mayweather -- he continually bores the casual fan who gets roped into watching his high profile fights and ingnites the "that's whats wrong with boxing" talk every time his fights or non-fights are mentioned.

    The Klits -- They have managed to turn the Heavyweight championship of the world into a belt most fans would rather not watch contested. Face it, as the big guys go, so goes boxing (at least to the average fan).

    Golden Boy Promotions -- A little Arum with some Don King-esque judging decisions. Not as blantant as either predecessor, but with plenty of both in them.

    Somebody else? Anybody I missed? Somebody you think is worse? Let me know.

    The sport will always have these antics and suffer as a result until the boxing organzations grow a pair and start mandating who fights whom (based on quality rankings) at all times. If you don't follow the mandatories, you lose your license, instead of losing meaningless belts.

    How can someone who always has at least a million people buying his fights be bad for boxing?

    You can say Arum is this or that, Golden Boy is this and that. At the end, it's the boxer decides if they want to fight. Floyd do not want to fight this little man from 3rd world, because he is the biggest coward in the midst of the land of the brave. These criminals clan of Mayweather's is an embarassment to Americans...send them where they belong. Biggest Faud I've seen in my life FMJ. Tsk////tsk///tsk.

    If the Klitschko's were not around the heavyweight scene would be far more competitive scene and far more interesting, this is no slight on the Brothers though as it isnt really they're fault, just not enough talent out there to challenge them

    The way I remember it, most people seemed to be saying "Good riddance" and "boxing moves on with or without him".

    Just sayin'.
