It seems us boxing fans are never pleased, as we moan about the poor heavyweight division, Champions not fighting the contender WE want, the cost of PPV's and Alphabet Titles.

I can remember watching an old film perhaps from the seventies where old time fans moaned and groaned that Ali jus wasn't joe louis or Rocky Marciano...As we now complain that boxing jus isnt what it was...Is it the case that the past is always more appealing or is it that boxing fans are an insatiable bunch whose demands cannot possibly b met?
Anyways what im asking is that all of you on the forum leave posts here detailing the things that make u love the sport (THE UPSIDES OF BOXING) and ur favourite things about the fight game today.....













You state a couple of valid points...so I give you a CC on me.....
It is not just boxing though it is any sport....

I still love the same things about this game as I did when I started watching it at about 5yrs old.....

I am truly a purist. Though like anyone I love the KO endings but I appreciate master boxers like Robinson,,Armstrong,,Moore,,Whitiker,,Jones,,Floyd ,,Hopkins ect....

But what I don't apprecitae and this is something that has never changed,,,,Is when they pad records...Put in the SO _CAlled best against overmatched opponents and praise thier performances....

I don't appreciate power punching KO artist disposing of guys that are washed up or worse never had a chance in the first place....

I don't appreciate muliti million dollar pay-days against gimme fighters....

But I do not believe those things will ever change...So I continue to appreciate the good and will continue to bitch about the bad...
