Nice to see that boxing is trying to set up some matches for a somewhat legitmate idea to find out who the #1 contender should be.

I remember boxing. My grandfather used to have fight parties. They were a blast.

It's like Don King was propping the whole thing up, and when he left, or became irrelevant (it's hard to know which sometimes), it just whithered away.

Is Don King still alive? Anyone?

That's nice to see. Boxing can use something like this.

Its the right kind of idea, but on the wrong platform. There needs to be a tournament to unify the titles and have one champion per weight class.
