Are the Duke, Holyfield, The "Beast," Bowe, etc hurting boxing's image?

But we have some "douchebags" in boxing do we not? Just asking?

I just watched that Morrison disgrace and almost puked all ove the monitor. I've seen more sincere stuff in Pro Wrestling. Bile-inducing! Anyone have a puking icon?

True we do have SOME douchebags in boxing but they aren't the overwhelming majority as is the case in MMA

I dont think they are directly responsible for Boxings over all image at this point.Every generation has its line of guys hanging on buy their finger tips...refusing to get the message,distractions,& media termites pointing to the worst scenarios.As long as their name remains,often existing on only memories sadly, scrupulous and oppurtunistic promoters will look to make a buck off them....and the fans continue to doll out the dollars,nothing will change.We as fans just need to keep it all in prespective.....and when we see talk about "Tysons coming back.....he has a chance" Show that silly shite the door!MMA has Nattas on Boxing,it wishes it had our freakshows

[El Kabong]

Boxing is bigger (and makes more money) than MMA so of course we'll have more "cling-ons"

After Holyfield's supposed loss to Valuev, the only things he is hurting in boxing is the WBA's lousy championship image and showing how crooked their judges are. So if this leads to the WBA's eventual demise, then Holyfield is a good thing and should lobby for a rematch.

They arent hurting and they arent helping,its like saying are the Who and the Stones touring again hurting rock n roll

....I wouldn't compare any of those guys to The Who or The Stones. Those groups are LEGENDS at best the only legend out of Morrison, Bowe, and Holyfield is Holyfield

You will always get the types who just will not let it go, or else are doing it primarily for financial reasons. I dont think it hurts boxing image so long as quality matchups are being made elsewhere.

The thing that hurts boxing most IMO are the god awful judicial decisions we have to encounter all too often after a big fight.
