Totally right about the history thing. Boxing has been around as an actual sport for more than a century. You can't beat that kind of history. Boxing will never surpass MMA. I think its like a fad. Everyone thinks its cool to like MMA. It won't last, or at least I hope. I can't even stand watching MMA. A bunch of guys rolling on each other? No thanks. I also know what its like to actually fight and it doesn't compare to boxing. MMA is, or at least I hope, a fad and people will come back to boxing.
Now boxing needs some serious upgrades. There needs to be one system. Not these multitudes of belts stuff. When they say he's the heavyweight champion of the world it should be THE not "one of them". There should be one and one only. Officials need to stop being money greedy and plan for the good of the sport. Boxing is dying, face it. And we need a Muhammad Ali (a guy just as popular outside the ring as inside) to rise up and carry boxing. And I'm sure there will be a guy like that someday. A superstar, a guy that people (even non-boxing fans) love. Love him or not, Muhammad Ali was a popular guy. But that's just chance. That the right guy will come (yes, it's the right time). Now what I hope... is its myself![]()
