I got to agree with you POB. I just cant get into it, it is to much of a street fight for me. It takes skill and talent to do well in any type of sport especially a high contact sport. I just think that boxing takes a lot more skill and talent to succeed at the highest level. This may change as the MMA sports get more popular, but I dont see it getting the athletes like other sports do. Boxing and MMA have been replaced by basketball and football as the sports that the less fortunate gravitate to. I think talent wise neither sport will get the cream of the crop, I dont believe that people are into fighting like they once were.
