All the natural athletes play Basketball, were they can enjoy more mainstream popularity and a high wage packet... with out getting hit in the head...

Alphabet titles have diluted boxing and the heavyweight division is suffering the most from it in my opinion.
dont forget if there is only one champ ...and he only defends once or twice a yr ...it may take 5 years for a # 4 contender to get a shot at a belt (we know what can happen to a boxer in 5 yrs time) ...w/ 4 titles to each division even guys like u and i have 4 times as much of a chance to become a #1 contender of one of the belts ...u have to look at it like that
