Boxing...In or Out?

The sport of boxing has 2 time periods. The old, pre Eric boxing that included greats like Ali, Foreman, Louis, Marciano, and Frazier. Then there is present day. Present day boxing has so many issues. Too many belts, no name recognition, a weak Heavy weight division, and constant questions about the credability of the sport.
Because of these issues they have lost a huge audience that they once had. That is sad. Boxing doesn't have any pioneers that are working to help the sport move forward. The sad thing is promoters stay in the sport longer than boxers themsleves, and all they care about is the bling.
With all that said I want to talk quickly about Hopkins/ Taylor. This class is trying to save boxing, and this matchup is doing a great job. Although, I feel as though the "beef" between these 2 is made up, and fake. I enjoy a good fight. I hope someday boxing returns as more than just a Vegas pumped reality show.
