Boxing will not go away. If boxing is in a bad position it is because of what managers and the promoters have done to it. If you have 5 belts at a certain weight the champs will not want to fight each other. That is why guys like Ali and Foreman and Norton and Frazier, or Hagler and Hearns and Duran and Leonard were so respected by boxing people and me included. Because they sort of brought out the best in boxing and made the respect for the sport go up. Not because they were greater than any other boxers before or later, but because the way they fought and committed themselves brought a better respect to that era of boxing and it made boxing better. I respect MMA but it cannot become as big as boxing. When I hear things about boxers fighting MMA fighters or wrestlers fighting boxers it does not make sense to me. Sherk cannot make it as a boxer or he would have , and Mayweather cannot fight in the octagon. What I like about boxing is the fact that fighters likes Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather Jr. can be so dominant in the ring and not be really the kind of boxers who liked to exchange punches with their opponents. They are not like Gatti or Holyfield . They are so good they are untouchable. That is the great thing about boxing, Hit and not get hit. Nothing can really diminish boxing.
