you said it bro. There is NOTHING like boxing when it's done right. I watched it all my life starting literally at around five or six. There was a time when there was more top notch boxing than you could keep up with, but I tried. And I would rather watch a good featherweight bout with a gazillion punches flying faster than the eye could see, than a mediocre heavyweight one with two dumbos leaning all over each other....but I'd watch it all.
But then the good stuff just started going away and my interest went with it. Now it's like everything else, heavily overpromoted events that don't nearly live up to the hype....and paydays that are way too big and crooks that are way too crooked.. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Marvin Hagler, miss you man. RIP. Still pissed that you got robbed in the Leonard fight.
