Why do all these "prospects" these days suck?

[Doctor_Tenma]

I consider him a prospect because he hasn't even had a signature win, he's a 3 time titlist, but as far as i know he has never held the ring belt, i.e he's a 3 time trinket holder. The first time he stepped up he was embarrased, weather through lack of ability or his own psychological problems.

I'm not saying "sucks" as an overarching term, but Chad Dawson isn't the future of anything imo.

On the way up did Ali, Leonard,Hearns or any of the other guys we talk about produce anything remotely like that diabolical performance against Pascal?

I want to know where the next ATG is, not just an above average belt holder in an average division.

Wheres the next game changer

Sorry that I have to name these two because I know you don't like them, but Bradley and Andre Ward. Both versatile, both strong mentally.

What the hell are you talking about earl?

Adamek, Johnson, Tarver.

C'mon bro.

How the **** are you gonna compare a green Adamek, and 40 year old Tarver and Johnson to anything in the same sentence with Hagler, hearns, leonard, duran, pacquiao, ali, frazier etc etc etc

[Doctor_Tenma]

Also it doesn't help that some aren't that smart of fighters, Lemieux's problem is that he overcommits to everything (Sort of like Jermain Taylor), pushes for the knock out, he can't expect not to get gass out fightin' at that rate. Someone also needs to tell Kirkland that the first round is where you should study your opponent, not try and take his head off. Fighters get knocked out over simple stuff like that. Hopefully both learn from their mistakes.

Oh yeah I didn't know there were the equivalents of HOF/ATG fighters in Chad's division.

I forgot blatantly ducked B-Hop and Calzaghe...

Oh wait..

And you said "signature win" define what you mean then, if Johnson, Tarver, and Adamek don't meet your criteria for a "signature win".

At the champion level look at

Juanma
Donaire
Rios
Segura
Ward
Vasquez

All of them have the talent and make up to possible be an ATG.

And at the high prospect level Canelo Alvarez and Nathan Cleverly could be megastars

They dont suck men ! What really sucks are today boxing fans ! Fighters cant give a bad fight or they become "overrated" or they are seem like "shot"

Cmon even the legendary fighters back in the day lost fights, and gave bad shows from time to time its a matter of styles u cant always look good.

But today with the internet and all that... fans have turned more and more into haters.

Adamek wasn't green dummy

[Earl-Hickey]

Adamek wasn't green dummy

Adamek was green round the gills, as well as being sick and weight drained, 50lbs lighter than he is now.

WTF Adamek was 30 years old when they fought
