Ring Mag Champ - another nail in the coffin
P4P is a marketing tool.
4 round bouts. Sort of what the Penny is to a pocket full of change.
Gus Johnson and other network fluffers brought in who come off more used car salesmen trying to meet a quota on cars they have never driven.
Super champions, Diamond, Silver etc....it's just a stoopit ploy to get more sanctioning fees from boxers. Catchweight....furthur evidence there are way too many weight classes. Also more weight classes, more titles, more sanctioning fees. Whats next every 2 lbs being a different weight class? Meanwhile we got gigantic heavyweights outweighing people by 50+ pounds. Then we got referees who seem to all be taught differently how to ref fights. I'm sick of seeing refs break inside fighting, this is not amateur boxing, I'm sick of refs taking points without proper warnings. I'm sick of refs never warning people for holding, its like it part of boxing now, people use that as their defense.
P4P is probably my personal hateQuote:

I hate Pound For Pound and especially because i use it too. Its the most stupid shit invented in boxing EVER.
Fighter math.
Vernon Forrest beat Shane Mosley.
Ricardo Mayorga knocked out Vernon Forrest.
Therefore Mayorga will beat Shane Mosley.
I really hate the "you have to REALLY beat a champion up to take his belt" sentiment that a lot of people have. As if a guy shold have to finish or completely dominate a champ to win. Complete bullshit if you ask me.
Why should a boxing ring be square it should be round.
Well then there wouldnt be any cornerz now wouldnt there?Quote:
