I have a green rep as i'm not afraid to speak the TRUTH. It's pathetic how people like you try to police these forums, getting people banned or threads deleted just because you don't like what they have to say. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Every boxing fan I have ever met would agree that Benn vs McClellan or Eubank vs Watson were truly great (in the proper sense of the word) fights, full of drama from start to finish, and then a funny finish to boot. That the G-Man now has about the same brain power as the fighting dogs he used to summarily execute is surely just an exercise in irony. He might have been good at setting dogs on each other, a truly noble talent that one, but unfortunately he wasn't quite so good at absorbing Benn's BRITISH BOMBS.
Hopefully people will stop crying and actually try to look at the important issues raised in the thread, namely i) potentially removing the referee's ability to stop a fighter if a fighter can stand unaided, and ii) allowing boxers who have lost their licence due to brain injury to come back and fight, perhaps in their own dedicated "cabbaged" division? It would seem that boxing controlling bodies have already trialled this approach with Evander Holyfield, so why not open it up to other drooling American fighters?

everybody loves action fights and KO's
but why would you wanna see a guy die in the ring?
how could in-ring fatalities be good for the sport?
this is a fucked up thread manComment

The UFC has usurped boxing in terms of PPV numbers for one reason alone - the possibility of brutal KOs as a result of the MMA gloves the fighters use, and because they can legally use knees and elbows to render their opponent comatose. How many of those moronic American teenagers shouting "number ONE" at the cameras do you think have any interest in the idiosyncracies of grappling? Surely everyone does what I do, and forwards through the entire UFC bill, ignoring the tiresome dirge of ground and pound, in the hope of seeing a Brazilian lunatic kicking an American's face off in the Octagon?
I just feel that boxing needs to react to what is a clear threat to it's very existence, and my "forced to box on" rule change could really be the shot in the arm that the sport needs. At no point in my original post did I say I wanted to watch a boxer die in the ring, I just wondered if it would ultimately be good for the sport in terms of raising profile, bigger viewing figures etc. I personally have always preferred a good cabbaging anyway.Comment
