It's embarrasing how little the mainstream media knows about boxing!

ESPN coverage of boxing is the equivalent of James Toney being on Jeopardy.
        Well said. There's hope on this earth.

          Its worse in the UK, they have the boxers on tv shows when the hosts CLEARLY know NOTHING about them or their opponent, boxing in general! It can get v cringey

          Whats worse is everytime theres a big fight on - Haye vs Wlad for example, everyone thinks they are a boxing expert and have a detailed plan of whats gonna happen even tho this is the first fight they have planned to watch since Tyson vs Bruno 2!

              Tyson-Bruno 2?!?!? These guys weren't watching Boxing when Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno were at the top bro

              The people on Sky Sports news are a joke. Did you see them ask George Groves if he would fancy a fight with Amir Khan?

              I can't stand the overnight Boxing experts. They all let me know how Audley is a harder puncher than Haye back in 2010.

                      One guy told me you can't compare Joe Louis to Mike Tyson because of there huge difference in weight.

                      He said Joe Louis is just a cruiserweight....the same weight as NIGEL BENN.

                      When I informed him Joe Louis was pretty much as heavy as Mike Tyson and Nigel Benn's highest weight was 12 stone he said I don't know what I'm talking about
