If you lived through the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and onwards, you might be a hard sell as to bite into the present crop of the heavyweight division as not being weak.

Likewise, boxing is really missing in talent when a Ted Atlas would lament, and mouth words to the effect that... if boxing is exciting enough, then viewership will be at a maximum. If boxing is at a maximum then the possibility of the Lebron Jameses, choosing boxing over basketball or any other sport for that matter. Is it exciting enough? The very impressionable youth of today always gravitate to the "exciting".

If and when there is that possibility, there is that probability, then boxing may have saved itself.
