    Hate for Joe Calzaghe or any other fighter thats hated simply because they aint defeated(he aint even got a bad attitude)

    Promoters controlling everything, there must be another way

    Too many belts there should be some kind of structure,

    too long gaps between fights.

    i also hate this bum love for the old skool yes they were good but for god sake get over it and get behund the fighters of today,

    poor undercards on ppv fights,

    PV for a bum like Amir Khan total joke

    Promoters influence over the sanctioning bodys,

    talent been protected for too long, if there that good lets see them earlier

    watching boxing on the tv and the fans aint supporting the undercard so it makes it unwatchable on the telly, at least put fake crowd effects on we would never know,

    Joe Cortez, he is too old and makes terrible decisions,

    fights been ended too early when there is a chance they could recoup

    greedy boxers

    boxers avoiding the best out there

      Us boxing fans are happy he has them that way we aren't forced to watch him on a decent card as a "headliner" on normal TV.

      It was worse when he was in ITV, you had muppets who've seen 3 bouts in thier life saying he was the best ever and then looking at you like you're mad when you pointed out he was fighting as nobody.

          I don't mind watching Khan to be honest. He is a very entertaining offensive fighter with a glass chin. All of of his fight have a chance at an exciting finish. I wouldn't mind watching him for free, but wouldn't pay a dime for his fights at this stage in Khans career.

              bad judges are the worst... (i.e centron v. martinez)

              over hyped fighters (opinion)

              vacant title fights: wtf is the point of fighting someone who isnt champion for the championship?

              the politics: ufc has much better match making i have to say

              bull**** stoppages: the fight should go on if the fighter isnt falling..... let the fighter fsll b4 clling the **** off!

                *I also don't like the fact that some fighters fight like twice or once a year. I'd like to see them fight every 2 months.

                *Fighters who treat their body like Ricky Hatton.

                *Emeritus and Interim ( i think theres even more ) champions

                  People who dislike nice guys like Hatton, Calzaghe. In other words: people like you.

                    Waiting time between good fights. Sometimes you wait month's and months.

                      Promoters who hold grudges and keep great fights from happening, fighters who don't take on all comers or give rematches if they don't win convincingly, fans who have no idea how to be objective.
