Boxing is not going down!?

Question

They say that boxing is going down and everyone is leaving to MMA. Is this true. I ain't switching over. **** MMA!

Answer 1

I am a boxing fan and not really a MMA fan but boxing is going down.  There are not enough quality boxers, too many belts in too many weight divisions (You can have 3 different middleweight world champions), and the money is too high.  At least with MMA (Which I don't care for), the fighters aren't spoiled babies yet and they fight anyone.

I have seen a lot of bad things in boxing lately over the years and my interest in boxing has waned

Answer 2

Yeah I agree i still think boxing is exciting, Im quite liking the welterweight and middleweight division, i just hope the heavyweight divsion gets a bit more exciting and there will be when there is some competiton..... which should come soon in a few years i say.

Answer 3

my friend americans(90% black americans) claim that boxing going down cause simply ,the professional boxing ,now with the economic rise of ex communist countries the last 10 years ,became a worldwide(finally) sport and is not an american thing like it used to be in 70's 80's and 90's( really go look the first 30 matches of tyson and 30 first matches of larry holmes and u tell me who these boxers r ok??:)soon these countries will start to produce welterweight and lightweight boxers too (they already have champions there with 0% participation like Andreas Kotelnik and Yuriy Nuzhnenko)!if someone would check the olympic games medals count would see thAT these same countries(eastern european) have conquer boxing the last 60 years in amatuer boxing (americans also claimed they lost interest in amatuer boxing once) and the last 11 years finally communism did fall for good and they could become professional ,all of a sudden americans lost interest in pro boxing lol!americans also have loose from 98 to 08 4 big competitions out of 5 in basketball did they loose interest in basketball??in men tennis i see american blogs that tennis is dead, while the truth is 2 of the top 5 greatest tennis players of all time play this time around (federer and nadal)!

i dunno all i can say is Americans r unfair and they wanna get credit but when they need to give credit to other people they dunno how to give it!

i hope americans have not lost interest in their women too cause i see thousands online looking for european men;)(specially african-american women)

peace
