    I think the biggest problem is that an old fighter like ODLH who cannot fight at the truly top level makes multiples upon multiples of what young, unpopular (relatively speaking) champions like Juan Diaz, Chad Dawson and Paul Williams.

    That is why ODLH gets to cut in line, and it's absurd.

        interesting point... do you think we need a more defined HW division in order for boxing to be more reputable?

          Better fans, because they control the money, which controls the matchups. It is their fault that things like Valuev/Holyfield happened instead of Klitschko-Valuev.

            What's missing? Simple........NATIONALLY TELEVISED FIGHTS.

            Dancing with the stars gets into 14 millions homes day after day because it's televised on ABC.

            Championship boxing is restricted to Cable custumers who have HBO or Shotime.

            We all saw how many miracles Espn's The Contender has done for fighters and they're ****ty ones. But I guess there aint no money in that.

            Promoters and boxers alike have found a better way to make more money and that's Pay-Per-Views. Boxing is becoming less popular and less seen but the players of the game could care less as long as millions go into their pockets.

                  Obviousy example of why you are one of the least respected posters on the site.

                  I'm beginning to think that you are Joart, except you don't have tight combination catchphrases.

                  Fraud idiot gayweather businessman coward ducker fake Floyd fan.

                  (sigh) I miss that.
