In some respects, the little fighters like Chocolatito, along with the tsunami of Eastern European boxers and a solid heavyweight division, have provided a strong foundation for boxing’s resurgence. The fact is, it’s already occurred and can only get better. IMO
What say ye?
I think there is definitely a small resurgance in the UK, there is a fair number of fighters that the casual fan know's now, far more than what people could have named a few years back.
Tyson Fury
George Groves
Carl Froch
James De Gale
Carl Frampton
Kell Brook
Amir Khan
Scott Quigg
Eubanks Jr
BJS
Atnhony Joshua
I think most people would know who at least 4 or 5 of them, I'm pretty sure that they would have struggled to name many more than that a few years ago, granted a lot of it is the hype machine from sky and boxnation but its still nice

Bang on]
Fan-friendly boxers from Eastern Europe are now consistently making great fights seemingly everywhere. They include Ukrainians, Uzbekistanis, Belarusians, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgarians, Armenians, Serbians, Kazakhstanis, Russians, and Poles, and they have erased erased the stereotypes of being robotic, technically boring, and straight-up.
Agreed. With all of the talk about "boxing is dead" after that over sold infomercial a few weeks ago, I honestly have not seen as much coverage like the last couple of years since the mid 90's.
hell yeah and THIS Armenian right here is about to knock the lights out of the Slavic Charlatain namedQuote:

I hope one of these will satisfy all y'all's blood lust. Lol
Casual fans I know like Golovkin.
They compare him to Roberto Duran, who was very popular.
And they all absolutely hate Mayweather.
mayweather is good at that, that is where a lot of his money comes from, hats off to the guy he is an excellent heelQuote:
