How often do we whine and moan about what's wrong with the sport?
Pretty much on a daily basis, no?
OK, well I'm getting a bit tired of it and would like to pose a question to all of you...
What is GREAT about BOXING?!?!?!
I'll begin...
1. The entire boxing year of 2007.
2. Fighters like Duddy(I believe someone called him a bum earlier)
3. Fighters like Katsidis... Every era needs its Gatti.
4. Ricky Hatton... Great working class fighter with a set on him.
5. The Contender... For bringing boxing back into the main stream.
6. Steve Smoger
7. Kelly Pavlik... A middleweight champ that TOOK the title!
8. Joe Louis. Uniting a country(even if only for a short time)
9. Thank God for the little guys right now!
10. Hopkins Calzaghe- seriously can't wait for this...
11. Mayweather Hatton
12. Jermain Taylor (this will need some explaining) Not so much a fan but respect that he's had a hard road with little recognition... He fought BHop twice... Winky, Kassim Ouma, Corey Spinks and Pavlik twice.
13. Rocky Marciano... 49-0
14. Ray Robinson- The sweetest of the sugars.
15. BHop- 43 and still biggest mouth on the block. Still yet to be shut
16. Recardo Mayorga... Always he same thing but still ALWAYS sells the fight.
17. Arturo Gatti... I hate the argument that Gatti doesn't belong in the HOF... (A HOF is a museum type place that houses awards for notable achievements... I think the shows he put on were noteable achievements)
I could go on all day but I'd like to hand this off to all of my fellow Saddonians!
