Where is Boxing heading?

to be honest i don't know... i loved boxing for the artistry and the prestige of pitting yourself up against someone and trying to defy the odds to be great. healthy competition to see how great you an be either in defeat of in victory.Was the sport of boxing always this corrupted even back in the 60s, and 70s, or is it a new thing?
Btw, I don't care who you are in Boxingscene, if you gave more than 3 rounds, 4 rounds tops to Froch..You don't know **** about boxing. Period.
Hang up your account and go watch "Cops", maybe you will watch these paid up judges being run down for robbing. You'll probably see Gale Van Hoye in that show as well as those two that gave it 115-112 to Froch.
More and more casual fans tell me that they don't want to watch boxing because it's all set up like Pro Wrestling. Can we blame them?
So where is Boxing heading? Will the corruption end one day? What happened to that John McCain movement to stop corruption in boxing?
But i feel when you lower the bar that karma has a way of coming back to you.
To be honest Jermain taylor was exposed back in the day when he was fighting Bernard Hopkins i thought he should have lost... he didn't learn from his lesson... and AA made him pay for it. i don't think JT should fight anymore he should try to find something else that's not as damaging... it's not that I don't think he can fight but against guys who have dedicated themselves to it and being the best... he's in danger against those guys. you can't just go out and think it's a sparing match. He needs to step away and find why he started boxing, reinvent himself.
as for Direlle vs froch it's th same thing. Froch didn't win. And if kesser is coming out to fight and prove he is the best he's going to tap froch all night on that granite chin he proudly displays in all his fights... kesser is not Jermain kesser is not direlle kesser is worlds better than both those fighters and has amazing power. Frosh could get really hurt in this upcoming fight hurt really bad... kessler is no slouch... and the tax might be breaking froch for his poor poor judgingComment

Lets say, Froch didn't win a round untill the 7th round. He won the 8th round also and from there on, I had a hard time finding what other round I should give him.Comment

Boxing is head:
To nothing but catchweight fights
No real champions, just paper champs who cry over money
Continued robberies and bad judging
Fans wanting to see sluggers and ugly fights as opposed to skillfull fighters
Boxer Celebrity fights instead of real fights
Watching fighters who think they're ready too early instead of being complete
Bias, Bias, BiasComment

This thread is interesting in that it gives us a view into how *****'s will react when Floyds "stink out" fight strategy no longer work as he loses to real WW's.
They'll say: "YOu guys know Floyd REALLY won that fight, the judges are corrupt, the sport is dying, blah blah blah."..

That's how i feel too. So much money spent in making other, maybe newer sports fairer and transparent and we still have the same old **** going on in boxing. Seriously if whether you win or lose a decision depends more on where you are rather than your skills, you can't really say it's pro boxing.Was the sport of boxing always this corrupted even back in the 60s, and 70s, or is it a new thing?
Btw, I don't care who you are in Boxingscene, if you gave more than 3 rounds, 4 rounds tops to Froch..You don't know **** about boxing. Period.

And damn that sucks you were robbed of 500k, you didn't really lose that bet.Comment

Stfu, that was not a close fight. No actually, of course your biased ass is going to say that because you are from the UK and you have Tucan Sam as your avatar. Loser.
And Dap, aren't you Mexican or Mexican descent? did you not here the little subtle shot that Froch gave the Mexican judge? You're a defending a racist loser.Comment

What's wrong with you dude, comparing boxing to WWE, maybe you don't know **** about boxing.Was the sport of boxing always this corrupted even back in the 60s, and 70s, or is it a new thing?
