Whats the thing that annoys you the most while watching boxing?
Is there any way you think we can eradicate this pet hate? Or do other users feel this is part of boxing?
My pet hate is boxers holding. It winds me up so much and i feel often gives certain boxers a way out or a "cheap" way in which they can win. I personally would love to see point deduction for holding as imo holding has no place in boxing.

Alphabet belts and ducking.
The two are intrinsically linked in my opinion.

The annoying Klicthckos ring walks from Germany that last longer than the actual fight.

Over saturation of pointless belts.
Fights not being made when they should.

Trash talk and in particular David Haye. I don’t quite know how he gained a reputation as being a good trash talker, I actually cringe when I see him. When it’s witty and fast in an Ali style it’s good to see but I feel embarrassed when I see Haye trying to do it in the oversized woman sun glasses. You’re not clever, you’re not smooth and you’re not cool. You’re a plank.

Fights in America where everything is set-up to favour the home fighter. I remember the Hatton Mayweather fight, everything was tailored to suite Mayweather, the home advantage, the weight they fought at, the ref didn’t let Hatton fight on the inside and we know how the score cards would read.
It really makes me despair that it’s allowed to go on, everyone knows about it and in a sport where millions are at stake.
