Anyone else think we're coming to the end of an era?

[Sage84]

I been thinking recently that we're at one of those moments now that history will put a line under and call an era...

Most of the great fighters of this generation are either retired or just about on their way out, we have to look for the new young stars to fill the void and take the sport forward. Just a list of some of the bigger names to have retired or about too:

Floyd
Joe C
ODH
Morales
Castillo
Naz
Barrara
Lewis
Roy Jones Jr
Hatton
Hopkins
SSM
Pac-Man is getting on a said hes not got long left
Possibly the Marquez bros soon

Dont get me wrong, i think theres a lot of talent coming through and young talent already at the top but it still feels like we're at the end of something...

Here's something, of all the new fighter that people talk about, guys like valero, gamboa, Kirkland, Angulo, williams etc. How many of these guys are great boxers?

Some of them have the potential to be great fighters, but I dont see any of these guys as super talented, slick, accurate boxers of the kind that Hopkins, mayweather, the Marquez brothers and some of the other top fighters were.

It makes you think about how good this era is/was, because some of these hyped up and comers are lacking in the boxing skills dept imo.

I remember a discussion where by the year 2012 all of them would be gone.

Chad Dawson has the most skill of any fighter today.

That sig is hilarious.

The end of an era is definitely upon us.

I'm not very excited about this new crop of up and comers. Most of them are lacking in either talent, polish, experience, or desire.

New crops wouldn't have experience anyway, son.
