    loads of others, not to mention all the olympians that are gonna be turning pro!
    Cotto has always said that he wants to retire when he is 30 so that means by 2011 he'll be close to retiring... so dont count on him.

    But I understand what you mean.

          Two words: Andre Berto

          I think that's a fallious statement. Because from now until 2011 there are hundres, or thousands of young hungry fighters waiting to get their shot.

          So when Pacquiao, Hatton, Marquez and anyone else you mention retire, a new crop of fresh young hungry fighters will emerge.

          Plus...Bernard Hopkins will still be boxing. LOL.

            and with the HW division not on top, how did boxing have its biggest night ever on May 5, 2007?


            Boxing will always survive.

            The names change, but the fights don't.

                someone else will come along don't worry. the same could've been said in the 70's and 80's. No one ever thinks that another will come along but there always is another.
