Its just people seem to think the decline of HW boxing being indicative of the entire sport.
There's been a shift away from the HW division to the smaller classes. Twenty years ago you have Evander Holyfield fighting as a HW, now you see Roy Jones fighting at light heavyweight. This is excellent for the sport.

Yeah, the heavy weight division is a joke. That's a good point. The smaller weight classes have had some great guys in it.
All i was trying to say, is that with the emergence of UFC. Boxing is boring to me. 12 rounds of guys dancing around, hugging each other, and not throwing punches gets old quick to me. There's some good fights in boxing. But many times i paid 50 bucks, for a fight just to see guys play defense and that's it.
UFC guys go at each other, it's just alot more exciting to me.
