The future looks bad

In a handful of years:

Jermaine Taylor will be the next Roy Jones in terms of how decisively he beats opponents.

Jermaine Taylor-Jeff Lacy will be a huge fight.

We will argue over whether Paulie Malignaggi will lose the next fight because he doesn't have KO power - and he'll win an easy decision to defend his belt.

Robert Guerrero will rule the featherweights or lightweights.

We will laugh when we look back at heavyweight champion Dominick Guinn and say, "Remember when this guy lost to Monte Barrett?"

here here people viva la boxing

I don't think Jermaine Taylor can be the next Roy Jones because he doesn't dominate the same way Roy can.

But, who do you think is going to be the next Golden Boy?

I think they tried with Bojado, but he was a bust. How about Ponce de Leon?

If Chavez Jr. Keeps improving and looking like a bigger version of his father he will be the next golden boy.

Isn't Chavez Sr. still boxing?

Nope his last fight was against Frankie Randall.

Ah ok.
If he was still boxing I was going to ask if you think he'd ever fight his son.

Anyone think that the Heavyweight Division will soon cease to be?
Doesn't seem like there's much excitement there and only a few good boxers.

It seems that all the big money fights are in the lower divisions.

[THE REAL NINJA]

Here is what I see for the future of boxing. I see Oscar's retireing within 2 years. Tyson, Sugar Shane, Barrera, Roy Jones, Hopkins, and probably Tinidad may be gone around that time too.

With all the big names I see leaving, I don't see enough up and coming talent to pick up the slack. We will still have Mayweather, Morales, PacMan, Corrales, Spinks, and Cotto. But there is nobody I feel will have the drawing power anywhere near the level of DLH or Tyson or even Roy Jones. Without them, the state of boxing is going to go downhill.

Am I right or is it too soon to tell?

damn close nostradamus

[supaduck]

Jeff Lacy looks like a good upcoming fighter...
