Which boxer or prospect do we have now?
Castaño doesn't have many years ahead.
Ezequiel Matthysse (Lucas nephew) was good in the amateurs but struggling a bit at the pro level. I still hope he can get to a good level in the following years.
Chino Maidana's brother already has a few loses as far as I know and is not as good as his brother.
So, what's left? it's pretty much gone at this moment.
Gustavo Lemos is pretty entertaining & good, but just missed weight horribly yesterday so his fight was called off. He’s IBF mandatory at 135 I believe
I like Jermias Ponce also, but he lost to Matias & will have to build back.
Fernado Martinez is a champ at 115 & a good fighter, but not sure how long he’ll hold that belt if he fights the other top guys
Guido Schramm has looked solid during his 2 performances on Shobox, but not sure he’ll ever get to world level
I’ve heard about some Rosa kid at 140 or 147 also, but I haven’t seen him fight, but I want to.
Im sure there are more, or someone I’m forgetting, but you’re right, it has fallen off quite a bit
Damn, you seem to be a truly hardcore boxing fan.

Somebody that can do boxing, can do other sports as well and make more money.
In boxing only a few fighters make millions. It is not worth to get a brain damage for 50 000 dollars or a little more.
Man, that’s true. You guys had Martinez, Maidana, and Matthysse all wreaking havoc and now nothing. I thought we were gonna get a new country producing talent for a while.
On a similar note, although not completely dead but Puerto Rico has really fallen off after decades of producing high level fighters.
