If you're a Povetkin supporter you might not want him to fight Klitschko just yet, but if you're a fight fan, especially a young one, you want to see the big guys wail on each other. None of this, "My accountant says I don't want to fight more than twice a year!" or "I can't fight (13-23-3) Joe Schnooks until I finish this case of Twinkies." Let's face it, the heavies still drive the sport as far as the media and most fans are concerned. We need one honest-to-gawd international commission (and only one) that fines fighters for not defending their titles and drops fighters from their rankings if they don't fight at least once every two months without documented medical reasons. Can you imagine today's crop fighting three or four times a month with 6-ounce gloves? No wonder kids don't follow the sport. It's a joke nowadays. I'm sorry. I have no interest in watching two little skinny 120 pounders named Juan Gonzalez and Juan Gonzalez slapping each other for 12 rounds. Never mind Sylvia and Ester beating the snot out of each other. Girls do not belong in boxing period. As the Frenchies say,"Vive le difference!" Let them play tennis and golf all they want, but keep them out of boxing.

That's my rant for today. Tune in later for "Why metrosexual males are ruining the movies."
