This is why there are so many aging heavyweight contenders.the best era in boxing(the 90's)was filled with great fighters.so many great fights & contenders but then the transition period started in 2000 & a decade later it's still in transition...here is the class of 2000....Calvin brock,audley Harrison,dominick guinn,Sam peter,malik Scott,paolo vidoz,davarryl williamson,t.j Wilson....peter is the best,brock had to retire,Harrison is just starting to make a splash.guinn is a gatekeeper that everyone avoids,vidoz had moderate success in Europe but hardly world class.Scott hasn't fought anyone & is a pro sparring partner & Wilson had a classic 2 fights with travis walker...LOL! Really this is why the division is weak.mesi who had promise wasn't part of the class but another who had to retire.only a handful of legit prospects the last decade...

What on earth does that mean, I tried to make sense of it?
It's a little confusing do you mean that the fighters are only just living up to there expectations?
Or there has yet to be a new "class" of fighters come through?Comment
