Does anyone still care about boxing anymore? When I was young, even though I wasn't a boxing fan, I could at least tell you who the heavy weight champion of the world was: Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Spinks...... They were all somewhat charismatic characters that got a lot or air time - Tonight show, etc. Nowadays, I couldn't tell you who it was if my life depended on it. Why is that? It also seems like much of the emphasis is now on the lower divisions instead of the heavy weights....

Having said that, there are some really good fighters in the middle weight divisions and some really good fights. Pretty much every Saturday on Showtime or HBO there are actually pretty solid fights going on.
