    bad and croaked judges and promotors ruining boxing?

    I think bad and croaked judges and promotors ruin boxing i mean wtf don king stopped juan diaz fighting katsidis and i can go on and on about the bad decisions that make paper champs a gd example is joel casamoya.
    I blame the boxers in the hw division for ruining that division but i blame judges and promotors for anything lower tbh
    anyone else agree?

      Judges I don't think so, sure there are debatable decisions, but it's pretty much always been like that. It's the promoters that are ****ing up boxing badly.

          If they are "ruining" boxing, then they've been doing the same thing that's been going on for about a century.

          Does Joel Casamayor even have an alphabet belt right now? He's not a paper champ, he's the linear/Ring champ who nobody views as the top guy in the division.

          Nothing new, much like Michael Spinks circa 1987-1988 before June 27, 1988, or George Foreman and Shannon Briggs being linear champs at HW from 1994 to 1998.

          Heavyweight divisions have ****** for awhile. It might be worse now than ever, but by no means is it anything new. Just because the HW has one standout guy who is popular, as has been the case in the past, it doesn't mean the division is good.

          Crooked judging and sleazy promoters? Simply part of the sport that we deal with, as much as we hate it as fans.

          At least guys don't have to go through people like Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo for a title shot, or have a throw a fight to get a title shot.

          You want bad decisions from the judges/referees? Even the terrible Santa Cruz-Casamayor fight last year wasn't as bad as Everett-Escalera in 1977, or Coggi-Gonzalez I in 1994 (Coggi was stopped like 3 times in his "win"), or the 1910s with Mexican Joe Rivers and Ad Wolgast, or Graham-Gavlian, etc.....

          The weekly threads of someone talking about "such and such is ruining boxing" is quite ignorant when you realize the **** people complain about hasn't ruined boxing in oh, the 100+ years it has existed.

              Bad and crooked judges and promoters have been ruining boxing since...forever.

              If we had more bad and croaked judges and promoters,everything would be fine...because they would be dead.
