Boxing is going the way of the DoDo bird. The last time I actually watched a boxing match was when Larry Holmes beat Michael Moore (I think that's his name) to take back the heavy weight belt at like age 72. Boxing is pointless now. FWIW, I don't have a whole lot more regard for MMA but I can see it's popularity.

I had anaylysis in there. I said that boxing is going the way of the DoDo bird, that means that it will be extinct soon. If you can't see that, and maybe boxing is somehow more popular in Canada, than maybe you need to do more analysis.

Just a thought.

Boxing is cack, has been for years, ever since Tyson lost the plot. As Jim said it's going the way of the DoDo. That's my analytical view of this thread. Do I know anything about boxing beermug? Maybe I do maybe I don't. I'm sure you will have an opinion either way.

i think canada has to have better programs to keep future boxing starts in the country

Does Canada really want too invest heavily in boxing. I personally don't know as I'm not from Canada. Are sports such as Ice Hockey and Lacrosse not more popular? I'm a massive Rugby League fan. Will the English ever invest heavily in RL? Not a chance. It isn't popular enough and could never compete with football. Yet ask TTR how the Aussies feel about RL and you will get a totally different answer.

Re Rugby League? Yes, it is massive in two of the Eastern Australian States. It is equivalent to NFL in the US in those Aus states. NRL - The official site of the National Rugby League - NRL.com

Re Canadian boxing? I think you can cast a broader net than that. For a country so populous & such a player on the international stage, I was surprised by the results of Canada in the recent Commonwealth Games. Commonwealth Games Federation - Past Commonwealth Games (not a criticism, just an observation)

I live in Canada and wouldn't watch boxing if you paid me.

As far as amatuer boxing, I support it as an Olympic sport as it truly is the ultimate in one-on-one. But so is fencing and tennis. But as a money maker, professional boxing, who cares.

Who? I watch sportscenter regularly and consider myself a sports fan and couldn't name one single boxer that is active today. At least heavyweight boxer, I've heard of Floyd Mayweather.

Jim,when i was a moderator at a VB forum i could compare the IP addresses of certain accounts and see they same, if the commas weren't enough of a clue.

I knew that, thanks! What I was trying to get him to say was which Canadian boxers are competing at the highest level?
