    Default I think boxing is on the brink of greatness.

    I truly believe with the guys coming up, that boxing is going to be on a level it hasn't been on, at least in a really long time, The sport is being flooded with the best amateur boxers around the world, which hasn't really happened until now. I think more, and more of the best amateurs from cuba will leave, the best russian boxer is now joining the pro ranks. These guys are faster and, better technically than ever before, I am not sure if it will make the sport more interesting for everyone, but it will definitely bring up some great matches for me to watch. I already see 4-5 guys in the forseeable future being better than anybody in this passing pro generation had to offer(Roy Jones to Mayweather era).

    I hope you're right, we've seen some great examples of young fighters with skill, power, slickness and charisma popping up left and right. The tide may be turning away from MMA once again.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    We'll see, I think MMA is equally getting better fighters. 10 years from now even Anderson SIlva won't be able to hang with those guys. THat sport has so much potential as a sport its not even funny, but boxing has its boundaries pretty much layed out, its the athletes that make it special, and these kids coming up are the finest athletes I've ever seen in the sport.

    Out of these boxers you speak of I see none in the HW division. That division is the weakest it has ever been at any point of time since I have been watching boxing and there is no one in sight of changing that
