Boxing has been around for ages, it's had it's good times and it's bad times. Right now boxing is huge in Europe and UFC is filling the void here in the states. Boxing will come back around in the US, it may take some time, but the money made off of boxing and the money boxers make dwarfs MMA and one way or another that will have to change before MMA can claim victory over boxing. Sure you can have people saying "Well nobody knows who is the heavyweight champion of the world in boxing" but hell I don't think many people know who the champions are in UFC either. In boxing at least it's because there are 5 billion belts for each weight class.
MMA has its place and its fans and so does boxing, I remember in the 70's and 80's kick boxing was
supposable the next big thing but it never achieved to get on par with boxing.
Boxing has been about for years your side of the pond Lyle,
all you need is a HW champion you will get one no doubt and when it happens boxing will be huge again.
