But it is still my favorite sport.
In terms of breadth of talent you have a point, but the period you mention has produced
Whitaker, Floyd, Manny (all of whom have a claim for being in the top 10 of all time) We have had RJJ, B-Hop, MAB, Morales, ODLH, Mosley, Tito, Finito. Not all listed were prime after 1995, but were all active.
I would add Juan Manuel Marquez to your list.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
