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

[MELLY-MEL...]

uh, how about kelly pavlik?????????

[THe TRiNiTY]

For the millionth time. Pavlik has his second PPV lined up, and is the TRUE, ACTUAL champion in his chosen division. He doesn't have countless trinkets, he's the true champion. He's had one relatively successful PPV and is on his way to a second. That's not the future, that is NOW.


If you think Juan Diaz, Chad Dawson or anyone else on that list has reached that level, don't vote. You're clearly delusional.

Get over it Pavlik fans. He isn't on the list because he's the NOW. He has a future, but he isn't Americas future. He's Americas right now.

He's a young guy, but so was Fernando Vargas, and he peaked pretty quickly, too. Face it, age doesn't determine if you're the future or not. It depends on where you are. Pavlik is RIGHT NOW. MOVE ON.

Andre Berto, Chad Dawson and Paul Williams.

Kelly Pavlik? Don't make me laugh.

[DA1CATAS]

Honestly... Probably.. No one... To be the future there has to be atleast 2 people I feel..Or atleast a Good threat to the dominating prospect/champion... the Main star and a Very Close second who has that spark.

Someone has to captivate or take the attention of the MAINSTREAM world

Sugar Ray - Hagler ---- Ali - Fraizier --- Mayweather - Oscar --- It can't be Klitchsko- ?????

After those great fights ..their prior fights were more interesting.


Cotto Margarito.. GREAT FIGHt... just not big enough to the WORLD.... know what I mean?


Jay-Z Nas battle.. Stopped New York. Biggie - Tupac Battle... Stopped both coasts..

People gotta want to see the star for there to a Future...

No one wants to see Klitscko...

No one outside of fans of boxing knew who marquez and Vasquez were.. if they saw that fight they'd say it was GREAT though...I'm SURE, Positive of that.

I feel mayweather Was the future to be honest... But he was either tired/scared/worn out/broken down/lost the fire/ too rich/ not hungry to fight anymore which was a lil sad for the first day.



I just wish cotto could get the fight with oscar... would definitely make his name ring some bells.

But as for now... There is no dominant force for the future... maybe some AM fighter thats won Nationals a few times or amybe one out of the Olympics that can get Mainstream and boxing fame.

Or if you consider dominating your division the future.. then KLITSCKO/COTTO..maybe Berto/Gomboa... they are the future.

Paul is THE future of american boxing

[Diego Morales]

I'd go with Pavlik but off that list I will say Andre Ward, although I don't believe he will get the hype he will be undefeated the longest and prolly have a good career behind the scenes.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

**** 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:

Funny as ****! And a class tune.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Damn, I'd have assumed Williams would have gotten more votes.

[Fenom]

Now, I'm not talking about the financial aspect of American boxing. The biggest stars GENERALLY fight here, so the U.S. wouldn't suffer in that regard.

There will always be boxing on television, so that problem isn't in the way, either.

However, most casual fans prefer an American they can root for when they want to go out of their way to watch a fight, especially if said fight is for 40 or 50 bucks.

But, out of the fighters I listed (or someone I missed), who do you think have the best chances of becoming big time American fighters? (It's multiple choice)

Vote. Discuss.

Me..........just give me a couple years
