The USA isn't producing any quality heavyweights, cruiser weights, light heavyweights, or middle weights?

[Dr. Z]

The current top ten talent in each class is all but gone. What has happened? By 2025 the USA will be virtually bankrupt. I can not name one current star or likely future star in these divisions. Can you?

As such boxing will be all but shut down by the USA media. It is happening now. What left you tube boxers who are celebrities for acting like boxers. That will be aired. But good boxing cards with USA talent?

[Smash]

ups an downs, im sure we will see good guys emerge over time

[_Rexy_]

American boxing fans better start paying attention to the lower weight classes I guess.

[Idunnoshet]

Jared Anderson looks like he might be the guy.
Richard Torrez is kinda small for todays SHW's.
But he can definately compete with them.
IMO Torrez should beat most CW's then move up to HW

[The D3vil]

The NFL & NBA takes all the athletes.

[paulf]

Bro HBO is out of Boxing and now Showtime is out to - no one even watches boxing here anymore, let alone gets into the sport.

The sport belongs to the international scene at the moment.

there would be less stars which would mean less money fights which in turn would attract even less talent. it's fans' and promoters' fault.

if martin was 10 yrs younger he would've got Anderson outta there.

[Punch on Tap]

Football and basketball! If those two sports didn’t exist there would barely be any world competition, it would be undoubtedly dominated by the US.
