I still remember when it was the "sweet science" and the heavyweights weren't just fat slobs like this Butterbean fella.
[Reply]

Have you ever seen the Klitschko brothers?

Or since Butterbean's departure, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Shannon Briggs, David Hayes, etc? They are hardly "fat slobs". :-)

I think MMA and the UFC have really hurt the popularity of boxing. That plus the lack of prominent fights, it is kind if sad.
[Reply]

None of the above. I pretty much gave up on boxing turn of the millenium. Hey- I just noticed a new smilie!:-)
[Reply]

Most of the great fights of last several years are in the lighter weight classes it seems. I am still a fan of good toe-to-toe boxers though.
[Reply]

How's that ADD treating you, Hugh? :-)
[Reply]

They made heavyweight boxing worth watching after Tyson's .... well... whatever that was.

Damn Nurse Ratched didn't give me my meds tonight!

Emelianenko?
[Reply]

I was focusing on boxing here...I know Fedor is an MMA beast. :-)

What has hurt boxing is it is not available on tv anymore. Other than ESPN a couple times a month where else can you see it without paying for a premium channel or PPV?
[Reply]

But MMA is thriving, and the top UFC fights are mostly PPV. I do agree, wish there was more boxing on TV, Ryan.
[Reply]

Yeh, but it seems UFC is always on Spike these days. From UFC Live to replays of older fights to the Ultimate Fighter, you can watch MMA 4 or 5 nights of the week.

Sometimes you only have to wait a couple of months to see the recent PPV events as well. I know this has really got me hooked on MMA recently.
[Reply]

True, but I have no real interest in watching a lot of the fights they show on Spike, Aaron. Lots of them are years old. I like the hype leading up to a big match, and watching it without already knowing the result.

if you get hit in the head enough your thinker may malfunction more than normal
[Reply]

Nothing like the old HBO Friday night undercards leading up to a Klitchko beatdown. :-)
[Reply]

I miss watching Tyson in the old days.
[Reply]

Some of the best 90 second fights ever. :-)
[Reply]

Yeah, that last Tyson/Holyfield fight was a real doosey. :-)
