Im only concerned with 'who's comming from cruiser' and 'what prospects are getting fights they deserve'.

I suppose that suggests that i am looking along the time-line a little. Something only a boxing fanatic would do (at this moment in time).

I think that even though the lower classes are getting much more exposure, i disagree that this extra coverage is really putting boxing back in the mainstream. I still have this opinion that most of the fighters out there are still lightly regarded.

Only a heavyweight can gravitate the sort of attention towards boxing to regard it as a mainstream sport.

Even Dela Hoya alone couldnt save boxing without Lewis, Holyfield AND Tyson
