Most of the great fighters I have been following are on their way out or at least so it seems. Soon we shall be watching shadows of these great fighters you mentioned in the ring against young prospects. That is really going to be sad to watch

yeh i cant imagine my favourite fighters of the present and last ten years ever bieng replaced in my mind..
could it be almost like an entire new era? and how will this era look to boxing fans of the future?
because i think of how there was the four greats in the eighties leonard,hagler,herans,duran...
and i think what matches that during the last ten years.. i know there are single fighters and stuff that do easily but i guess like the great bhop says.. i believe i will get my respect when i am gone, and lots of people i know having looked back on his career and having never really been a favourite of theyrs have admitted yeh he was a reall tough cookie and a great guy...
shall we make a list of the greats of our era and the moments that will be remembered... man i know theres loads!!
peace
