Most men in America are formidable but the wimps have the jobs to put boxing in the background instead of the fore front. Wimpy executives canceled the highly rated Tuesday night fights and people on skateboards called themselves extreme sports. It's the mentality and the greed of the executives that keeps men from becoming champions in my country. Priorities have changed and I don't care to badmouth anyone that is second in line. Fighters like Mayweather put themselves in a position that makes them the most viable opponents while better men walk away because they couldn't attract flies laced in honey. This is truly a case of the few fucking the many. Professionals in fields screwing boxing wanted it abolished and suddenly Contact Karate finally called kick boxing came along but no one mentioned fatalities in MMA or legalized mayhem where you wear lighter gloves than boxers and get to hit your opponent when he's down. It's all how one packages it. Right now the wimps are in power. I still love boxing and soccer. I may even go to a basketball game once in a while but the most manly sport on earth is where you have to wear eight to ten ounce gloves and a cup under your shorts. Just before the bell rings the ref says,"May the best man win." That is what it is all about and boxing is better than ever and if I have to follow a foreign boxer then so be it, it is the manly art of self defense.

    The boxers like Tyson and B Hop are probably staying in jail because it is easier. If they are athletic they will take a less brutal sport than break their noses. Boxing is pricing itself out of existence, corrupt and losing interest from the next generation.
