Plus I feel that, my country's fighters are having a rougher time. Shimoda losing to Beetlejuice and Hasegawa losing to Gonzalez really stung.

its not that theyre in a slump, its just that boxing is much bigger than it was before and more people from all over the world are competing now.
jim lampley nails it here:
"Boxing is a dramatically globalized sport. There are no shortage of black American boxers, but they are no longer as dominant because of the global rise of the others," he said. "The U.S. can still produce a Jermain Taylor, an Andre Berto, an Andre Ward, but we will never again see weight classes dominated by black American fighters to the degree we saw that in the 1970s and '80s. Ethnocentric Americans tend to see that as a weakening of boxing, and they couldn't possibly be more wrong. What might be seen by some as the decline of the United States as a great power is not actually a decline, but rather an adjustment in position in relation to the rise of the others. The world has changed."
