Boxing - The Sweet Science

Boxing is also known as "The Sweet Science". Surely breaking noses and teeth isn't sweet but, believe it or not, boxing is more about thinking than fighting. Since I've made good investigations about this sport, I would say that boxing is some sort of a bloody ballet, mixed with non-stop action and adrenaline. It can be both exciting and boring. That depends entirely on the two boxers. With that sentence done, we finally come to the problem itself - what is today's boxing and what will tomorrow's be? Sadly, this is a question without a sure and confident answer... I'm ,unfortunately, too young to remember the so called "Golden Period" - the era of the unstoppable heavyweight champions, the era of the most anticipating and tense matches, which have created many champions, but I know one thing - today's boxing is more like a dirty, criminal affair than a sweet science. Today's heavyweight division is not what it was about twenty years ago and the undisputed, undefeated and once invincible Mohammed Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Mike Tyson are replaced by the so called "champions". These are nothing but a poor copy of the original and do nothing more than jabbing and running around the ring in bad rhythm. And these "champions" seem to have "styles" or at least that's what the media says. Today's "champions" are not even close to the elegance of boxing, in the face of Mohammed Ali, or to the agression and sports malice of 'Iron' Mike Tyson. Boxing is bleeding of poor athletes and is dying for a new "Golden Era". Help.
