Cotto, Pavlik,Pacquiao, Margarito, Juanma, Angulo, AA,MIranda,Kessler, etc etc etc, they all want to fight the best. All entertaining. And hopefully will take boxing back to the top.

    WIth all due respect to the Jones and the Hopkins,Idon't want to see these faded legends fight(or in B Ho's case headbutt) on the main stage anymore. Oscar needs to stop taking the spotlight away from everyone else and Floyd did what Floyd does best: pick and choose his times. Take Winky with these guys and I'll be a happy guy! (I maybe be being harsh but who the heck wants to see Oscar FLoyd 2,Winky Oscar? Brenard in another snoozefest?Certainly not me)
    Well said, my friend. There's plenty of young, exciting talent out there. I know it must be hard for aging stars to let go, but it's gotta happen sooner or later. I could certainly live without watching Hopkins fight again. And Oscar DOES need to move aside and let the spotlight fall on someone else. It's an ego thing, and it's damn hard to pass the baton.

    Unfortunately the old guys still make the promoters the most money and until that is no longer the case we will continue to see these guys in the ring rather than a lot of the young hungry fighters.

    Well to be honest the old guys are old in boxing for a reason. Look at Casa. To get the old generation out of the way you have to beat them.

    If they {older fighters} want to fight than just let them fight each other. Sort of like a senior circuit, based on age 35-37 or older.
