    On the down side.

    The HW division is still a joke.

    Also after De La Hoya retirers America does not of any superstar boxers.



    IMO boxing around the world is getting stronger but boxing in the USA is getting weaker.

    I agree, the future (and the present) looks bright. I couldnt care less about the heavy weights, as long as the lower weight classes are producing good fights/fighters im happy.

    Our man David Haye will soon clear up the heavyweight division and wipe the slate clean for sure!!!!There's no dought that the division needs sorting out with quality talent.It needs to be livened up with excitment with someone who will actual fight anyone in the division.....The HAYEMAKER is the one to do that..I cant wait to watch him reopen the division,we need him too and he will deliver!!!!

    hope it goes well everyone is allways saying talent is lacking today. i disagree excluding the heavy division boxers should be better today than say 30 years ago due to the advance in training and nutrition. the thing that messes boxing up today and y everyone feels the 50s and so on were better years and fighters, is the abc titles today. I would love if the boxing world recognised one champ per division but it is just a dream.

    As an American I really wish I could disagree with you but I can't. HBO will try to market Pavlik, but I don't know how receptive the casual fan will be to him I really hope they take to him well. We still have some great upcoming talent though. Tavoris Cloud, our adopted Gamboa, the Petersons (if they ever step up in quality). I think once Andre Ward gets his groove in the pros he should definately be impressive.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Yeah, the future of the boxing game looks a tad bleak. Unfortunately, the overall health of the boxing industry is based off of the strength of the heavyweight champion and the presence of high-profile American fighters. I really don't see a bunch of that coming down the pipes. Wlad, unfortunately, is not the answer because eventually he'll get knocked out. Unless Demetrius Andrade wins gold, I really don't see any high-profile American boxers outside of Pavlik and Berto coming in the future. The future for international boxing looks awesome though.
