The talent level may be there,but the desire to obtain greatness through hard work & challenging the best anywhere around Ur weight class sure isn't there.

I can't argue with that.

The fact that White fans are supposedly pining for a return of Ali, Leonard, or Louis (and the fact that a White "journalist" would write such claptrap) speaks more to the doldrums of Western Civilization than it does to the doldrums of the sport of boxing.

We have two men, in the form of the brothers Klitschko, that are vastly superior in every way both as fighters and as men to the 3 above named fighters. Why don't we recognize that? Why isn't the media trumpeting that obvious fact?

I don't know how your references to "white" fans or journalists plays a role in the discussion. I think boxing fans in general(especially casual fans are really just looking for the next real exciting breakout stars in the sport and at times hark back to the days of some of the greats. The Klitschko's are solid fighters, they just don't bring that pizazz that the aforementioned fighters brought to the sport. A large portion of that is really not their fault though. I think the same can be said about many of the solid fighters out there today. I would personally say it probably relates more to media attention and fan awareness being pulled away from the sport itself than any focused attack or disrespect of any of today's solid fighters.

If you don't know how then you really are too deeply brainwashed to understand anything of importance. So I'll end my response here.

Really Russ, Really? Man I was hoping you were being sarcastic, but I guess not. Brainwashed should be your middle name. come with some sense next time, and not a hack job website. Sad.

Berto beat Quintana, who beat Paul Williams, who beat Sergio Martinez, who beat Pavlik, who beat Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins, who beat Tarver, who beat Roy Jones, who beat Ruiz, who beat Holyfield, who beat Tyson, who beat Larry Holmes, who beat Ali.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Whether you’re bummed by Floyd Mayweather Jr., uncertain about Manny Pacquiao or unimpressed by Sergio Martinez… here's a little sage wisdom from Angelo Dundee.

Don't spend any time pining away for the next Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard or Joe Louis to save the sport from its perceived (by some) doldrums, because it's not going to happen.

"That's the mistake people make," the legendary trainer said. "They keep waiting for a guy to come along who acts like and sounds like and fights like those guys, but they don't realize that every fighter and every individual is different. They all have different outlooks and they all do things in different ways.

"Once they come along, the cast is broken and you'll never see it again."

Dundee, now just a few months shy of 90, last made the rounds awhile back with the release of his latest book – "My View from the Corner: A Life in Boxing" – written with fellow Hall of Fame member Bert Sugar and featuring a foreword by his most famous in-ring charge, Ali, with whom he worked big fights from the 1960s through the 1980s.

I swore Dundee was talking about Margarito when he said "the cast is broken"
