james, I never said anyone was on the decline I merely thought it odd to compare any other boxer that is fighting right now and in their prime to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I know of MANY Europeans that are bringing excitement back to the sport: Kessler, Abraham, Froch, Povetkin, etc. but they still can't be compared to Manny and Floyd, those guys right now are rock stars and everyone whether they care about boxing or not should know of them.

If the author of this thread simply wanted to describe exciting things that are going on in boxing and bringing it back to the front burner then including England's fan favorites is A-OK with me, but to just say Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather & _____ have brought boxing back to the limelight by themselves is simply FALSE...it's true in the fact that Floyd and Manny have done a lot of good for the sport by themselves, but including ANYONE else in that statement is wrong.


And the only reason Ali, Louis, and Marciano were brought up was because someone question my views on them and tried to point them out as a precedent for saying that I am wrong on everything, and that was pretty fucking lame of them
