The talent pool of today's boxers.....

Not as deep as years past. Now a days, you got more kids wanting to grow up and become NBA/NFL, even MMA fighters, before they want to become a champion boxer. Their aren't any spectacular athletes like years past. Besides Pacquiao/Gamboa/Martinez/Floyd

Agree or disagree?

I disagree. That being said it is also ignorant to say that the likes of
Cam Newton and Lebron James won't have made excellent prospects.

I'm not only talking about HW's either. Even the lighter weight classes, don't have once in a generation type fighter/athletes like before. For example SMW, theirs Ward, and then a bunch of really good fighters, that aren't athletic enough to keep up with him. Their mostly all skillful fighters with good fundamentals.

Same with WW. There's Pacquiao/Floyd/Marquez, then the talent level severely drops off.

Dirrell is better, in terms of athleticism.

Yeah though, most of the top athletes know the score at this point; your average NBA, MLB or NFL players makes more money than your average boxer.

Gamboa, Russell, Donaire, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Martinez, Dirrell, Ward, Haye, Klitschko - there's still a decent amount of top, top athletes.

Can't wait for Ward/Dirrell.
