    IF there is one unified boxing commission in the US, it wont belong until
    fighter's have to wear headgear, fights can not exceed 4 rounds, and other stupid regulations that the Federal government will install because "they know better then you."

    The good thing about the way boxing is now in the US is that if Nevada makes a ridiculous rule like Welterweights have to wear 12oz gloves, the promoters can choose a different state without the ridiculous rule.

    The federal government screws up everything it touches, and there is no need to allow them to take control of boxing.

    McCain always tries this back door tax shit, out here he was trying to tax the Indian Casinos.

    I understand that the health of the fighters is involved here, and that is a noble thing, but it is also political posturing. If I honestly thought McCain was doing this for the benefit of the fighters I would support it, but this would no doubt be more paperwork, more cost and ultimately running through the motions.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I don't get how it is postering, killersheep. It isn't like boxing is mainstream enough that it has an effect one way or another with the general population. I think he has a ligimate concern for the state of the sport, and is trying to get something done about it. We all agree it is fairly corrupt at present, that it has flaws, many of them that need fixing...so where do we begin? I mean, someone had to get the ball rolling.

    You are complaining about the waning popularity of the sport and that is about it. It is not like a sh|tload of regulation has got passed down the pipe since 94 regarding this sport. Only now they seem to be trying to integrate the sport as a single entity. It should actually help the sport in the long run, by providing better support for Boxers while knocking off the sleazy pimping 2 bit promoters. You should welcome this.

    I just don't like your hyperbole, and don't agree with you philosophy. Is that ok? C'mon now, if you are all about the constitution like you say, walk the walk my man and quiet yer crying when it gets criticised.

    SOB: What specific provisions do you have a problem with?

    I haven't examined this proposal thoroughly yet, but from what I understand, McCain is a big-time boxing fan and at least in the past, he has wanted to do good by boxing. Mind you, politically, I generally don't agree with him.
