re: Any true boxing fans here?

Boxing will probably never be the same. The main reason is parents dont steer there kids toward boxing anymore. Unlike MMA it takes years to perfect boxing. You just cant jump into it at 15 and become great at it. Boxing is alot of hard work and dedication and most kids these days just dont wanna do the work. Instead MMA is the easier alternative and has become more popular. But to me boxing takes more skill and discipline. Anybody can fight/grapple but not many can stand toe to toe and box.
