Boxing is dead, but its brain still hasn't gotten the message to the body. That will come after this weekend, after Oscar De La Hoya fights Floyd Mayweather. Don't be fooled by whatever noise comes out of Las Vegas. It's just boxing's death rattle.

Once Oscar De La Hoya retires, what will boxing have to offer?
Boxing has been dying for years, of course. But the old boy has bled and wheezed and stumbled onward because, frankly, there was nothing to take its place. Nothing to finish off this once-regal sport -- which has spent decades hitting itself in the stomach -- with a fist to the face.
I love MMA, and if you do to, you would give boxing it's respect. It's a shame that boxing is goin downhill in terms of popularity and connectivity with public. Boxing is a refined art and it is part of what makes MMA great; by studying it and striving to emulate it's refinement, is part of what makes MMA's champions. Your only fueling the whole MMA VS. boxing bullcrap, your as bad as Jim Lampley or Mike Freeman. They are different sports with their own different merits. This is totally outside of the spirit martial arts.
