However, I've never heard Dana White say anything derogatory about boxing other than to suggest it has lost its way promotionally.

Which is, was, is, was....erm, not sure....either it was, is...bang on.

Did Dana get married then? To Barry White? Poor lass.

(If you were alive in the 70s, you might get this.)

I am a big UFC fan and I can tell you White has definitely slagged boxing off several times. In a lot of ways White is just like Warren, if someone's not fighting for him then they're no good!

Couldn't agree more. This will be the single biggest read boxing text in the UK. And what is it? A free platform for a promoter allowed to openly air incredibly subjective views - with the general public, unlike us, not being in a position to offer any balance. An absolute disaster.

I'll agree with the agreeing. It's absolute bile, what the man writes. Treats everyone with contempt apart from an exclusive group of protected British fighters. Wish you two would have those viewpoints printed in Boxing Monthly; that would be excellent
