Is boxing dead?

[Tarver is my dad]

Everyone can agree that boxing is not the same as it was before. These days, there is not that many marketable fighters that can take boxing to the next level. I spoke with a friend with a mine who is a casual sports fan and he couldn't name any active boxers beside de la hoya. Tito Ortiz recently was on the Howard Stern Show and he said that UFC is better and more exciting than boxing and UFC can take over and that his fight with Chuck Liddell is anticipated to sell 1.5 million buys. He also said that he went to the mayweather/baldomir fight and he was bored as hell. He also said he could take out Tyson and Lewis within seconds. With that mind, what is the current state of boxing? is it dying? if it is, who can be the savior that can bring boxing back to mainstream?

Tito Ortiz? Pff. Lewis and Tyson would probably drop his ass before he had a chance to get them on the ground. Ortiz has always been a ****y ****er, and the only reason he's on Howard's show is because he is dating a confused and loose woman named Jenna Jamison.

Seriously though, if Ortiz think he can beat them, let him get in the boxing ring where you don't grasp each other's nuts on the ground for 10 mintutes and hit your opponent while he's down.

Boxing is a gentleman's sport. At least you give your opponent a chance to get up.

Sorry, I like UFC, but Ortiz is a clown.

Boxing has Pac, DLH, and Mexicans. As long as Mexicans like boxing, we are in good shape, cause there is a ****load of Mexicans everywhere!

Seriously, boxing boring? The TWO best boxing matches surpass the excitement of al UFC events combined.

Boxing needs new ownership, as long as it goes foward with the same course it will go down and downer in the drain. President Bush " We shall change the course...in boxing", drastic reshaping of the sport is needed.


Also boxings solution is to hand over the rights to DLH. They nelgect to tell the people that those same very people are the ones who ****ed boxing right to the point its at now. They are delussional, thats what hurting the sport, these guys are profiting and exploiting boxing to their will..

Exciting UFC matches are far and between. This craze will soon pass.

Tito can talk all the **** he wants. Hes living off of an old overrated Shamrock. If you keep this guy standing up he gets killed.

Tito is ****ing retarted.
He couldnt last 10 seconds with either.

[GunStar]

Is Chuck Liddell one of the biggest stars in UFC, I've seen this guy fight, he wins most of his fights with his fists.

How do you think Chuck Liddell will do in boxing?

BTW boxing is not dead, it will never happen!

[leow]

there isn't enough mma fighters, just look at the ufc all there matches are rematches... at one point it won't sell any more in my opinion there isn't enough good mma fighters that's what will kill the sport it's going to be like k-1 the old guys will just be too good for the new comers.

i'm gonna do a quick resumé about mma all the tops arent in any particular order just the best

HW division top5 : fedor, crocop, nog, barnett, sylvia, arlovsky.. (jus cuz they were ufc champ)
arlovsky and sylvia faught 3 times...
fedor faught crocop and nog(2times) crocop faught barnett(2times) and nog

LHW division top10: shogun chuck silva nog arona tito rampage, i can only think of them...
shogun faught arona rampage nog
chuck faught tito rampage
silva faught rampage(2x) arona(2x) and tito
tito faught rampage chuck silva
rampage faught shogun silva(2x) chuck
arona faught silva(2x) shogun
there is already more matchup but still not any more between the best fighters cause of their orgs or team Shogun wont fight silva
Shogun and silva can't fight chuck and tito...
the only few possible matchups : tito vs chuck, rampage vs chuck, rampage vs tito... ( tito and rampage are friends dunno if they would fight each other...)
Silva vs nog....

it's pretty much the same in each division with a fewer more fighters in the lower ones but still like you can see there is only a few matchups lefts and the new guys are too weak to hang with the old ones

[Undefeated]

CHuck Lidel is by far the man i would give a chance with a boxer in boxing. He wins most of his fight by KO's with his fist.

Boxing will not die. Boxing is here to stay.

Tarver would knock out Liddell.
