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

[MANGLER]

The new guys comin up now seem to be young enuf that they'll improve over the next few yrs. Doubtful what we see from em now is as good as it gets. A lotta cats I grew up watchin are gone or soon to be and it sucks, but there's excitin fighters to carry the torch when they're all gone. Don't think we're gettin anotha megastar like Tyson or DLH tho.

Im considerably excited about watching Gamboa grow, as well as Berto, Timothy Bradley, Rigeandeux, and Andre Dirrel...

New crops wouldn't have experience anyway, son.

Agreed.

But they'd at least have potential.

And a lot of them don't, IMO.

Do you see any future ATG's in the mix? Or even Hall of Famer's?

I don't.

I see lightning fast, entertainers and one dimensional sluggers.

Plus, as I said : No desire.

How many of these kids love this sport? How many of them just treat it as a profession?

All black............

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.

Exactly what I said above, alot of these guys that are getting hyped on here have a **** defence but punch hard

Kirkland- Is there any punch he cant be hit with?

Angulo- Saw a blown up Cosme Rivera outbox him, shocking defense

Valero- Wide open, lunges in chin up, begging for smack in the chops, mosquera knocked him down.

Abraham- Fights like an elderly winky wright, minus the footwork.

Williams- Cant see hook's or punches from angles, throws about 100 punches around and lands about 5-10 of them and that's in a good round.

Holy ****, who is that in your sig

[THE REED]

All black............

Their all FAST and EXPLOSIVE... it's just what I like, son... cant help those types happen to be more black then not...

I still stand by Gamboa is cuban not black

Is Gamboa's skin dark?

If so, he's black.

Again........

true thread. i mean theres so many young boxers that could be remembered for being great, but theres none that will go down in history as being legends

also is it me or is the only young boxer that anyone talks about on this site Tyson Fury?

[TRAVI$]

Meldrick Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Frazier
Just because their home grown doesn't mean you can get away with it to, Bringer.
