They are still there. The only thing is, they won't get the recognition. Simply because all the promoters need the fighters to help them do there jobs, and all the bad decisions has left a bad taste for boxing for the "general" boxing fan. "I do my talking in the ring", still works for the true boxing fan, but not with the public. It seems every fight has to be billed as the Greatest fight ever, or a circus show. Plus, all the fighters who aren't getting a shot want figure the only way to be recognized is to be the next Ali. Plus, add in the MMA events. Hate to say it, but we all know, mainstream boxing is all about the money.

Well "Ice Man" I hate arrogant boxers because usually the fighters with arrogant attitudes haven't done anything.

I like good respectful fighters.....and every now and then a good evil guy like Roberto Duran but he as opposed to Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought hard and fought like a man should and he didn't run away....he did quit ONCE but I suppose I can forgive him

I don't hate any boxers no matter how cocky or arrogant they are.

They're just part of entertainment business.

I just think of it as scripted to build up hype and sales just like HBO's 24/7.

Boxing is 2 people punching each other and trying to everything but kill each other......there is no need to HYPE it up.

When done properly a fighter's resume will speak for itself....but lately it seems fighters talk the talk but very seldom walk the walk.

I'm just waiting for one of these loudmouthed bastards to let their alligator mouths overload their hummingbird asses!
