[No Contest]

I want you to hit that caps lock button its right below the tab key.

maybe or MAYBE NOT

[No Contest]

Fans want great fights, and the next great fighter. We want a heavyweight champ that is unified. We want fewer titles and clear bout sanctioning policies. I want a federal commission..others say no.

Yes thats what I want to see great fights i live in hope

As a fan I want to see well-contested matches. I respect all styles of boxing: sluggers, boxers, and everything inbetween.
What I don't want to see are anymore showcase fights when someone is completely favored to the point of it being an exhibition.

example of what I want: more JMM vs. MAB type fights, gatti-ward trilogies, great match-ups

example of what I don't want: Calzaghe vs. Manfredo, Byrd vs. Mariniccio, one sided slaughters.

What I want: I want to see top fighters fight each other, I want smaller rings, I want ONE universally recognized sanctioning body.

What I don't want: Top fighters using glorified sparring sessions as an excuse for mandatories, taking more than 6 months between fights.

The thing is we don't only want to see great fights. We want to see great fighters in great fights. There have been plenty great fights lately, but they have not involved great fighters. Pavlik - Miranda is not the first time that an undercard fight out does the main event. This happens all the time. But since they are two guys which not many people have heard about, nobody pays attention to it. DLH - PBF had some good undercard fights but who has even talked about them.. no one.

I like how the WW division is shaping up with Cotto - Judah and Margarito - Williams
I like that R Marquez and Vasquez are going back at it. The first was a great fight.
I love whats going on in the featherweight to lightweght divisions with PACMAN, MAB Marquez, Juan Diaz and Casamayor. Some great fights should come soon with these guys so close in weight.

I am disapointed in longreining champions who have nothing to show for their longivity other than a win over Jeff Lacy or champions that can't look good in 5 straight fights. Or great fighters that give us a hint of their brilliance and then take it away by saying they will retire.
I hate the fact that I can't even remember the last time that I saw a Heavyweight unification fight....what was it Holyfield against Lewis? I honestly don't remember

....better fights, more often, for less money


sound enough of a tri-fecta?

[GAME]

I think everyone would be in agreement that we want more unification matches .

On a personal level i'd like to see more propects meet earlier at a domestic level rather than avoidance . It seems like a loss would be the end of the world but i'd like to see a young fighter learn his trade like they would in Mexico and get battle hardend not protected .

Fighters in this country are becoming too much of a promoters investment and its too much like a business not a sport .

A solid gold commode,but it aint gonna happen baby

I tell you one thing at leats the B,C, and even D level fighters have SOME skill.....anything under the A level in MMA is like just grabbing a person off the fucking street.


MMA is garbage, I have seen enough to know that Tim Sylvia ain't shit and I'd rather fight him than ANY top teir heavyweight PERIOD

I want there to be a purse system no more of this you get 20 jillion dollars win or lose.....winner takes the pot looser gets a fraction thereof.

Hates to say it but I agree with ol'e chicken legs on this. MMA is growing quickly and the skill level is greatly underestimated.

It's kind of bizarre when you think about it how someone can seriously believe that a pro athlete could train day in day out in their chosen sport and not have skills

Granted there isn't yet the strength in depth in MMA like there is in boxing but it's still a new sport. The skill level is improving all the time and potentially at least their is far more to learn in MMA than boxing.

In 20 years I believe that MMA could be the dominant combat sport and that the top champions in MMA will be considered complete fighters, whereas the top boxers may be seen as just being limited, hand skills only.
