    I like seeing the progression certain fighters make over the years

    My main hate is with how long it takes to get the guys you want to see fighting actually fighting and the mismatches which are purposely made for easy paydays because the top ranked fighters don't want to fight the best who they fear.
    ^ Couldn't agree more with this.

    I think the problem is, for most of these "top" guys, boxing is an occupation, so their ambitions are purely of the monetary kind.

    They don't have the ambition to be the best, only to be the richest.

    Unfortunately, that's their prerogative.

      I like the skill of these fighters, the years of dedication and commitment it takes to reach that level. I like the bravery and toughness of the fighters, the ring is a lonely place with no help, no weapons..its 1 on 1 man vs man. I also enjoy the respect of the game where 2 fighters can punch *** out of each other..risking their health and life yet can shake hands afterwards & have a drink together or a bond that's hard to find..boxing's a sport where you get found out quickly..It seperates kids games from the men...its an honest sport at its core & is steeped in history

        The thing I liked most about boxing was when I'd hit a guy with a brick and he would fall like a tree.

        The thing I hated most about boxing was when I'd hit a guy with a brick, and he just smiled at me.

        Oh, and getting rocked with 2 minutes left in the round sucks real real real bad too.
