Well, boxing has cleaned up its image the only way it knew how: by doing nothing while every other sport in the world faltered.
Think about it: baseball is riddled with steroid jockeys, cycling can hardly run a stage of the Tour de France without somebody testing positive for 'roids, wrestling is a drug- and booze-riddled graveyard, the NFL's biggest star is electrocuting dogs and pissing off fans nationwide, an NBA ref is busted for going in the tank for the mob. Hell, even soccer has a big-time corruption scandal in Italy.
Simply by being its good old, badly-regulated, casually-corrupt self, boxing now looks...well, GOOD by comparison...
