    Those ads have been a problem for a long time now.. I don't know why they insist on using them...

    Even those silly little pyramid adverts they use have been a problem... Remember David Haye got dropped by Mormick because he slipped on one, lost his barrings and got nailed.

    It's bad enough that these guys are fighting for there live's.. They don't need to do it on an obstacle course!

    I've actually surprised myself at how genuinely passionate I am about this

    15 minute ringwalks from nobodies who have watched too many rocky movies
    Fancy shorts with tassles and splits and shit. Again (see above). A guys shorts should reflect his talent and not vice-versa.
    12 round fights
    Incompetent judges who score fights sooo different from the others. I mean,come on, are you not embarrassed at all. Would you not give it up and have some dignity?
    Big mouths with little talent (see top 2). A little of humility now and again would be good

    The painted advertising definitely needs to go. Advertise where you will but there is no need to make the ring an ice rink.

    Incompetent refs and judges all need to go. As does Amir Khan.

    1. Get rid of the various sanctioning bodies to make way for one international body.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Excuses.

    It's virtually impossible to get a fair contest in boxing.

    Hometown robbery, dodgy refs, dodgy judges, too old, too young, wrong weight class, trainers fault, bad training camps, loaded gloves, steroid cheat, wrong socks... it never ends

    Going realistic (Because sanctioning bodies are not going anywhere at least not for a while)

    Incompetent Ref's is big...IMO Ref's should have to face review after every fight by some sort of commission...Check tape for fairness, partiality etc.....

    EG- Marlon Wright is one.....The fool from Saturday is another.....

    Painted ads on the canvas are a problem as well they need to have another way top incorporate the logos on the canvas for sure but this has been a problem for years now and the idiots still ignore it....

    As Joe Frazier said, that is one of the biggest things hurting boxing.

    Pay Per View for every major fight! Do they not realise boxing would be more mainstream if more people could watch it! Pus if that happened, we might actually see better cards, instead all boxers want to hold out to headline their own events and make more money.

    Corruption. Clearly the ringside judges can't be that incompetant without backhanders being put in their pockets.

    Logo's have been my biggest beef for many years now. I mean how many of these incident's do you need. I remember seeign Fernando Vargas doing the same thing to Fitz Vanderpool. Vanderpool slipped and Vargas throw a shot that knocked him down and many many others were doing exactly like Dirrell did and fighter's rifle 'em in the head.

    For F**K sake get rid of all logos!!!

    I think that I go with the Hatton's rules, that sounds quite brilliant to me.
