I don't know, but I feel as if boxing has been somewhat stagnant as of late. I will be honest, I have only been addicted to boxing since 2007. However, I feel as if this has been a slower year for boxing. The reason for this is that many of the superstars, or great fighters, of boxing are on their way out. At the same time, however, there are not many in their prime superstars to take their place. I feel the biggest in his prime fighter fighter is Nonito Donaire and even he is not a household name. There are some good young guys coming up, but will the sport be carried on their shoulders? I don't know, I just feel like this sport is in a transition phase and so is somewhat stagnant. Aside from commenting on my previous statements, I ask the following questions.
Sometimes, there is nothing like matching champion vs. champion or great vs. great. Although some divisions, (130, 135, 147, 154, probably others), are straight up weak at the moment, there are definitely some great matchups to be made if the big two promotional companies worked with each other. So, do you guys think the two big promoters in boxing are to blame for the condition the sport is in?
Which fighters are the future of this sport? List a couple of fighters who will carry the sport of boxing into the future, perhaps for the next 10-15 years. As a result, how does the future look for boxing?
What conditions are required for boxing to have a great era?
One final thought, the Mega Fight is dead. I am not excited to see two past their prime fighters in a fight that means nothing, at this point. It's obvious both fighters have slowed down considerably since the fight was first proposed, one has slowed down a lot more than the other. The world will never how this fight truly would have played out since, if these two ever meet, it will be with both in a diminished state. The fight should have happened in 2009.
