..Seriously, Who Is The FUTURE Of American Boxing?...

[mspiegelo]

pavlik is the now... the future is guys like ward and dirrell and possibly berto- though his future is cloudy with the other titans at welterweight. i liked dirrell ALOT against hanshaw, hence my vote for him (probably will be one of the few he gets...)

[THe TRiNiTY]

Other = Kelly Pavlik

Vote for Other!!!!!

Once again, he's already a star. This isn't about who the best is, with the best chance of being a star for a while.

This is out of the guys who have YET to prove themselves, completely different.

Pavlik is a WORLD champion, defended his title twice, in a rematch and in a mandatory. One PPV under his belt that did margainally well, and is on HBo on a regular basis.

He's made it.

Juan Diaz shouldn't be on the list then either....He was the unified lightweight champion....He's made it.

Has everyone already forgotten about James Kirkland?

Oh I misread the question, I thought who would be around the longest.

You can be called Mexican if you are Mexican but they are still born in America. It's like when they call Corrie Sanders South African even though he is white...

Wasnt Margarito born in LA? He certainly doesnt represent the USA though. See what im saying?

[ElGranLuchador]

Juan was born in Texas. Mares, Arreola and Mora were all born in California.

I'm talking about nationality, not heritage or ethnicity.

mares is mexican he was born in guadalajara

Isn't that why people come here?

The now of the American boxing is guys like Diaz, Pavlik ect. The future of American are Dawson, Dirrell, Mares, Berto ect. While Berto and Dawson holds titles, they have not hit their true primes yet and has a long way to go. The still have much more to accomplished and both are only in their mid twenties.
