    I can only take so much...AAAAHHHHH!!!

    ESPN. They always show Ali, Norton, Frazier fights. I know those guys are popular, but I doubt just showing them keeps "ratings" up for their classic boxing shows. I would like to see some Sweat Pea, Chavez, DLH, Holyfield, Duran, etc. Really it is mainly just Tyson/Douglas, Ali, Frazier, Norton vs the same guys, etc.

            Its all about License fees. ESPN paid a bundle for the current Lot of fight films from Bill Cayton. The Rights to the fights you want are being held by Top Rank, and DKP.

            HBO has started to rebroadcast some recent fights, Its a step in the right direction.

              Once I caught a Matthew Saad Muhammad fight and was pleasantly suprised.

              I think the biggest issue with getting more recent fights is that the rights cost $$$.

              Nonetheless, I would love to see some good old Meldrick Taylor or Pernell fights.
