You know the Hollywood powerlists etc that are produced every year? Is there a similar boxing list? If so does anyone have a top 10 they can post here? Who do you think would make the top 10? Freddie roach? The paymasters at hbo? The boxers themselves?

Good thread nick. I like it.

Most important man in Boxing? Hmmmmm.

Well Golden Boy seem to have a hand in pretty much every major fight in the world at the moment and although Oscar is the smiley face and name behind the company, the inner workings are done by Richard Schaefer. Hes literally involved in everything at the moment.

My moneys on him.

Him or Bob Arum. You cant overlook that Arum has just put on one of the biggest fights of probably the last ten years.

Right now. He's had Schaefer, many people's pick, following him around like a puppy of late.

The Head of HBO, can´t remember his name, he was named a few years back as the most powerful man in boxing. Basically, HBO have more say in fights being made than the sanctioning bodies or the fighters.

Rolf Harris controls the sport of boxing everyone whos anyone knows that, He pays Welshdevilrob to throw us of the scent by claiming he will be appearing at Calzaghe fights to sing land of our fathers but infact old Rolf is in cahoots with the WBC and Colonel Sanders

together they control every part of the sport under a elaborate and advanced system of underground pulleys and levers.
