The problem in the box is that the ranking system is so corrupt that many good fighters never get a chance to fight for a world title, while less talented others get their chance and a good payday to start with.Here's a little history lesson on why this is and will always be a problem in the sport of boxing.In 1981, there were two distinct groups of boxing writers; The Boxing Writers Association and the International Boxing Writers Association.
All members, including press officers, were voting members, and the group voted each year for boxing awards such as Fighter of the Year, Manager of the Year, James J. Walker Award --- For Service prolonged and meritorious to boxing, etcetera ข่าวไอที.Conflicts of interest caused by press officers pushing their bosses' fighters, and even their own bosses, for various awards were taken on in an obvious and blatant way.
One year, Murray Goodman, one of the nicest men in the business, openly lobbied his boss Don King for the Walker award.
Hey, even old man Murray had bills to pay.Later, Marc Maturo, a boxing writer for the Gannett newspapers in Westchester, founded the International Boxing Writers Association.
The stalwart members of the old group told me that boxing writers exist only to report the news, not to create news itself.
Well, excuse me.Marc recruited Mike Katz, then from the New York Times, and Steve Farhood after KO Magazine to be ratings chairmen.
