Where is our sport heading? Are we in trouble, have we got enough up and coming talent to lead our sport in the right direction?

Over in the U.K, we have an interesting set of middles/supper middles who all crossed over from the amateurs. James Degale, George Groves, Darren Sutherland, have been compared to Benn, Eubank and Watson. For those in the USA, these guys kept British boxing on its toes during the late 80's/early90's... And they hope the same happens with Degale,Groves and Sutherland.

Over in the States, how is the emerging talent looking? I mean, you guys had a poor olympic games, to say the least, so where are your boys gonna come from?

Other than, Kirkland and Ortiz i hav'nt seen much in terms of promising American boxers... And it really saddens me.

How can we keep up producing talented boxers? I heard Golden Boy are having an influence over the Amatuer American Olympic team, will that help produce better boxers?

What are your guys thoughts about this, boxing could well be dying if we fail to produce any more quality fighters.

What you guys think? Are we in trouble?

Every year people say the sport is dying..and every year we're blessed with great fights. I think the sport will be fine. Boxing has never been an "American only" sport to survive anyway...it's made up of all cultures...so with the lack of American stars, doesn't mean boxing is dying...

I think there's a lot of overall talent, but we've been so caught up in the delaHoya's, that the talent gets overlooked.

You won't amount to a hill o beans for two reasons: Firstly your user name is "Money May" and secondly you are saying that we should "look out" for you when you haven't so much as picked up a skipping rope.

I agree with this. America's best athletes go to the NFL or the NBA, where they have a better chance of making millions. Also, they'll be ablt to hold a conversation when they're 60.

Maybe join a gym and start training before you declare yourself the saviour of the sport, Zelenoff.

He's one of those jack-offs who show up at the gym, realise it's quite hard and bugger off to play pickup basketball.
