sad state of boxing

[Hulk]

last night after watching vitale stumble around the ring and listen to jim lamply and emanual stewart blow smoke up everyones ass about vitales greatness, i cant help but think how desperate hbo is . My wife who knows nothing about boxing was watching with me and asked who are these guys I said hes the heavy weight champion of the world, she thought i was kidding. maybe we are all kidding ourselves. the klitchko brothers are in my estimation the worst champions to come along ever. They both have limited movement, very basic boxing skills, extremely poor balance, hands low, chin exposed, back straight up. to many other things to mention. It amazes me to think no one is able to exploit these things. Says alot for the sorry state of the division. The david haye fight was even worse, Both of the fighters purses shouldve been given to charity. All the shit talking I thought someone would get killed, what a joke. It doesnt surprise me that MMA has grown in popularity, given the fact that the major networks air these fights, What really pissed me off was comparing vitale with goerge forman are you kidding me, foreman please i wont even respond to that one. Ive been watching fights since the 70s and have seen many great fighters, saad muhamad, salvador sanchez, welfredo gomez,marvin hagler,roberto duran etc. These two guys are not in the same league as these great fighters, The klitchko brothers are scared to engage, scared to get hit afraid to lose. In my opinion until both these guys are willing to lay it on the line youll never know how good{not great} they couldve been. Its way to late for that to happen. The major sanctioning bodies are to blaim as are the networks, The fans want to see manny and mayweather and other fights but itll never happen. To risky for mayweather. I dont know maybe im the only one who thinks this way but I know Im not blind.

Neither Klitschkos are especially talented or exciting to watch, but they are the best out there right now unfortunately. And, unfortunately people have forgotten what really good or great heavyweights look like and so they many believe the Klitschkos are in the top 10 of all time, if not top 5 of all time.

Your opinion wont' be very popular around here, but I agree with you about how insulting it was to compare Vitali to George Foreman.

Also I disagree and think Pac and Mayweather will fight.
