    What is the worst thing about boxing?

    poll to come


    Personally for me it has to be bad decisions/robberies, havent watched the Funeka - Guzman fight yet but I expect I'll be feeling angry at the end of it from what Ive heard on here so far. Robberies really do hurt boxing and damages its credibilty in my eyes.

              Hyped up fights that end up being terribly boring.

                                  Robberies, for sure. Although all the others are almost just as bad (some build on others, e.g., bad refereeing leads to career-ending injuries).

                                      The death/serious injury one should be left out......


                                      After that it's probably the cheaters
