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

[WHB3]

Pavlik has accomplished the most, but he is far from our most talented fighter. Pavlik is seriously lacking in the fundamentals department.

Seriously lacking fundamentals? Have you ever watched him fight? That's all he does. He's very technically sound. I would never say he's the most talented, but he's got his fundamentals down pat.

**** me, it ain't looking good when your poll includes Berto (sorry, I used to rate him but he ain't that good) Sergio Mora and The Nipple, is it?

Here's the official take on the future of US boxing, go to 2'34m in on this video:

Showing some classic sex pistols almost got you some green K. Then I read your ******ed ****ing post and changed my mind. And before you respond, I'm not American.

I voted "other" - Kelly Pavlik is the future of American boxing!

Why are stars/titleholders like Dawson, Juan Diaz and Williams on the poll, and not Pavlik?

kelly pavlik

near future: andre berto

the not-so-distant-future: demetrius andrade

Chad Dawson I'd think.

Chad Dawson I'd think.

Chad has a bright future also. He is slowly becoming a complete fighter. I voted for Pavlik(other) for now, as they are both 26 and Pavlik has accomplished more already. It could change in the future though as both are still getting better.

[Stab Judah]

Dirrell & Ward could become the biggest stars out of them all, if they start stepping up soon.

It's funny because I consider Williams and Dawson the best fighters on that list, yet I could easily see them each losing their next fight. Williams is talking about going up to fight Wright in what will be a close money fight while Dawson could easily lose to Tarver in October. I think without Mayweather, our talent pool is still ok, but our guys have yet to accomplish anything. Hopefully Williams will get his head screwed on straight and stay at 147-154 as long as he can because those are divisions he can rule.

How do you think he would do against Cotto? I think that is a big ask for Williams, though I think he's better than anyone else at 147.

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

He hasn't beaten any hall of famers, unless they invited Acelino Freitas and he's never been a hue draw, nor a PPV attraction. He still has a ways to go.
