Uh, did you even watch the show?... Both of them are there as mentors to the boxers. Believe it or not, Sugar Ray was actually overweight and Sly had to get him back in shape with a training and eating program. And yes, Sly does box in the show. He beat the living crap out of one of the contestants when they challenged him on the last episode.
I love The Contender, after delaHoyas show got cancelled(The Next Great Champ)i didnt have my boxing fix but this show is way better, not only the boxers are pros but the fight better, i love the Ahmed/Isha fight, i for one was going for Ahmed but after the thirds episode display of disrespect not to only to Ishas wife but to Sugar Rays while they were sparring, im happy he got beat. Now the only problem i have is that they only get 5 rounds and to me thats not enough and while i know sometimes fights only last a round or 2 they usually go the distance with middleweights, more than 5 rounds and i hated seeing Peter leave, im my opinion if there were more than 5 rounds he wouldve won by KO, case in point the 2nd round against Alfonzo, he almost broke him but it seems someone is coming back next episode and im pretty sure it wont be Ahmed and i dont see Jonathan Reid coming back, so it has to be Peter Manfredo, which im hoping for.

Would you do a Kung Fu reality show with Keanu Reeves as a co-host behind an actual martial artist? Keanu does know some kung fu, but he is pointless when there is a real fighter there to teach instead.
You moron, Sly and Sugar Ray aren't there to teach them anything.
THEY ARE THERE TO MENTOR THE FIGHTERS. WATCH THE SHOW.
They have Peter Manfredo, who's number 3 in the world, and Ishe Smith, who's number 5 in the world. All of these fighters are top of the line and don't need any teaching. There is no teaching in this show. Only competition.
Do yourself a favor and do not argue against something that you know don't know about.

yea they are more mentors and sly is there to be more of a host anyway.. and keanu reeves is a horrible example matrix doesnt even focus on martial arts. Sly knows enough to be able to critique them some and to be a good host.
