Ironic how we've been saying that Boxing needs new blood..

[2501]

And the old timers just completely **** up the new blood. Mosley, Hopkins, Marquez, Campbell............they're business is yet to be finished.

hopefully the trend ends @ Wright-Williams

It won't ^

Wright and Barrera shall emerge victorious.

The new blood isnt any good.

I saw it coming way back in 2003 when a Prime Vitali Klitscko failed to match up against a fat, aging Lennox Lewis. The new schools best could not defeat the old school at its worst.

Now we see the same thing happening in the lower weight classes 5 years later. Hopkins, Marquez and Mosley are veterans from a better time, when the talent pool was rich. Boxing will continue to decline, and the meek will inherit the sport.

thats what i have been thinkin too. these old, skilled guys are kicking ass now. even when you look at casamayor blasting out katsidis or penalosa stopping gonzalez. those fights happened awhile ago, but maybe they got the ball rolling.

campbell over diaz
mosley over margarito
marquez over diaz
campbell over funeka
hopkins over pavlik
adamek over banks
martinez over cintron (martinez won it easy)

[PittyPat]

Campbell? Pfft. Funeka had him beat convincingly, barring the KDs. Biggest robbery of the year so far.

Most people on here think that glen johnson beat chad dawson

it will end with the Punisher!

[mrpain81]

It goes both ways

Dawson beat old man Tarver
Cotto beat Mosley
Taylor beat Hopkins twice
Pacquiao beat old men Barrera,Morales,DLH
Bradley beat Junior Witter
Roman Gonzalez beat Yutaka Niida
Rogan over Skelton

Fighters in this day and age seem to take better care of themselves compared to the fighters from the past, a clean living lifestyle + the advancements in the sports medicine(Steroids?) makes it for longer careers Imo..

exactly. when Vitali couldn't get the job done on a Lewis who was basically a sitting duck there for the taking I knew there was nothing coming for the heavyweight division. that same year Mesi got dropped and almost lost to Monte Barrett and Wlad had already been KO'd. it was pretty obvious back in 2003 that there was no hope for that division.
