I agree that the multiplicity of sanctioning bodies and championships has hurt professional boxing more than anything else.

For the reasons given by Barkoff.

The PPV thing has hurt it too though. I remember watching some pretty big fights for free on my TV at home back in the 70's.

There are still some outstanding fighters out there but they just don't have the mass market exposure that the fighters of the earlier era did.

That was the wildest thing I have ever seen in combat sports. I watched that fight live, and when it happened I just jumped out of my seat and started making loud noises.

I'd be good for about 45 seconds, then I'd have to throw in the towel.

If you ask my ex-girlfriend, she'd probably tell you the same thing......

He jumped up and bounced off the cage.

What makes it even more impressive is that it was in the final minute of a championship fight, with the fight tied up on two of the score cards. The greatest clutch move in the history of clutch moves.

The other night I needed something to watch, so I stuck in my DVD of UFC 100. I damn near wore the disc out replaying that knockout.

When they showed it live on the PPV, Henderson had his back to the camera and you couldn't really see the punch - you could just see Bisping going down. As soon as Bisping hit the mat, they changed camera angles and here comes Dan with that flying forearm. I just remember the ref pulling him off Bisping, and Bisping looking like a stiffened up corpse.

He didn't wake up for a good 5 minutes after that. And it didn't shut him up at all.
