The hypocrisy of boxing fans is off the charts. We all love fights, especially action-filled fights..... but "oh..... who are WE to expect Johnny to fight more than once every two years". What a load of crap. It might not be boxing PC to say otherwise, but if you're a professional fighter and you have a belt to defend, you should be expected to do so with a reasonable frequency. "Oh... but we're not the ones taking the punches.... and how easy for us armchair spectators to talk".... blah, blah, blah. I'm the only one with the nerve to say I expect fighters to fight. Boxers choose to fight. It's a choice. If that's the sport you chose, then do it... or find something else to do. There's fighters that fight quite frequently. They're exposed to the same perils as every other fighter. How do you account for the disparity between one who fights 2-3 times a year and one who fights every couple of years. Fights between champs don't happen.... people (fans) move on to something else. Maybe that's the answer.... maybe boxing is just a dying sport on it's way out. After all... there's MMA. Surely those guys are more active, right?

Spare me the sob stories.
