What has happened to this one time noble sport?Does anyone long for the 70's/80's,Sportsnight on BBC1 when you could watch some right old set to's.Gardner vs Christie,Benn vs Ewbank,Sugar Ray vs Hearns/Duran.Even Bugner & Bruno.Dave 'boy' Green vs John H Stacey.The list is endless.Nowadays we have Amir Khan,but a lightwieght fighting over 5 or 6 rounds(if it lasts that long) just does'nt have the same appeal.Heavyweights are just lumbering giants hoping to land that knockout punch.Definatley a sport that needs a good kick up the arse,and Murdoch has'nt helped its cause.
