You're wrong. I certainly don't believe it's not 'real' boxing. 95% of the fights are much better to watch. My beef is with the system employed by AIBA. That system is not amateur boxing. It represents the major events such as the Olympics, but that is not amateur boxing.

I'd say the majority of amateur boxers are still more than up for a tear-up & even at intl level, you will get some good fights. In fact, there are a few fighters I can think of in George Groves & Frankie Gavin who were much more entertaining to watch as amateur than they are as pros.

Like I said my beef is with AIBA & the system at major events. Not to mention that contrary to popular belief, not all the best guys who'd make the best pros actually go pro because it's a dirty business. Hell, Sugar Ray Leonard only went pro because of a 'scandal' about his girlfriend getting pregnant before marriage & his being unable to cash in on his post Olympics image.
