What is our era in Boxing?

What is the latest era of Boxing to for us? There is some confusion at times about this issue. You can make your choice from the poll.

To me, it's the list of fighters currently at their best, and have been for some time. Since they came up, to now at their dominance. Not Roy Jones JR. but Floyd Mayweather JR. Not Lennox Lewis but Wladimir Klitschko and so on.

I honestly don't get the whole era thing. Unless they mean a selected few top fighters who start at the same time and we get to follow there career as it unfolds. I don't know. Someone explain.

I'll say from Early Roy and maybe even a bit later with the start of ODLH until Roy, Oscar, Floyd, B Hop, and Shane retire. That will be one era in my eyes.

Yes, it is a bit hard to explain. But if you've been following the sport for some time(And I don't mean anything by this) you'll notice eventually how fighters "pass the torch" to the next young fighters. Right now we are seeing that with guys like Cotto, Williams, Haye, Pavlik, Kessler etc.

Roy beating B-Hop is the start the end is very soon

[Puya]

an era is just about to end with Trinidad, De La Hoya, Hopkins, JC, Roy Jones JR, Mosley, Mayorga and Maybe Floyd.

While there is about 4 years new era with Hatton, Cotto, Floyd, Berto , Margarito, P.Williams, Ponce de Leon, PAC, a ong others

I always thought the new era started when Lewis retired after beating Vitali. I don’t know why.

^what he said.
Except I think Hatton and Pac belong is Last era. They've been fighting a while and Pac doesn't have far to go until he runs out of weigh classes, he might be able to handle some Jr. Welters like Bradley (inexperienced) but the others are just too big. Hatton is almost done unfortuanately and he should be looking to finish his career with a Malignaggi fight then maybe a Bradley/Kotelnik fight for his last and then retire on top.

I'd say last era is Trinidad, Floyd, Roy Jones Jr, Oscar, Hatton, Pac-man, Chris John, Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Morales, Lennox, Tyson, Holyfield, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Casamayor, Campbell, Mosely, Mayorga, Vargas, Forrest, Judah, Winky Wright, Glen Johnson, Mormeck, Bell.

New Era is Klitchko, Haye, Mijares, Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Pavlik, Taylor, Abraham, Kessler, Berto, Gamboa, Khan, BJ Flores, Rafael Marquez, Vazquez, Calderon, Donaire, Guzman, Valero, Arthur Abraham, Katsidis, Juan Diaz, Malignaggi, Bradley, Mora, Clottey, Lpoez, Ponce De Leon, Dawson, Cunningham, Maccarinelli

I thought that but then I realised that wasn't that long ago.

Every era seems to be about 10 years so I would agree with your post.
