i am fairly new to boxing as a a HARDCORE fan, and i can already see what is holding back the sport, at least in part. setting up these $$$ exhibition matches for short-term gain, instead of putting tiltleist v primary contender on a regular basis. it seems to me Arum is a primary culprit in this...pavlic v tito??? **** that!!! these guys only fight 4-5 times a year at best, why not allow a true conteNder who deserves a shot at the title ASAP!!! fans in sport need some semblance of organization; even WITH the goofiness of the multiple sanctioning bodies, the promoters are hurting the sports long-term health for short-term celebrity bouts. i agree with a jones-tito fight, as it does not disrupt the championship situation, but a purported pavlik-tito fight would be yet another example as to why boxing has declined in popularity over the pat several years. PUT THE CHAMP VS. A This content is protected CONTENDER IN EACH CLASS MORE FREQUENTLY!!!!!:fire
yep,no question everyone is thinking this right now. the guy who deserves the fight is Winky Wright. he dominated Trinidad and now a few years later it looks like the loser will get the chance...Wright shouldnt have fought Hopkins:cause the public would be screaming for this fight if he hadnt.
