Will the next generation of fighters all be technical minded?

[Spray_resistant]

No, there will always be different styled fighters. These guys have to use what talents they have, a guy like Maidana can learn to box better all he wants but to be successful he needs to utilize pressure, his power, and willingness to win in there.

If everyone became a defensive specialist I would quit watching boxing probably.

That's real ****. You could be the perfect fighter and still be disrespected by fans who don't appreciate your skill.

Regardless, there's room for all styles and all types of fighters. The best will rise to the top.[/QUOTE]

This right here ^^

no no...we need more unmotivated potheads in this sport

[J The UnBiased]

I hope not. Technically skilled fighters are my favorites but we need all styles. That's what makes the fight game so interesting.

[RichCCFC]

Of course we will always have different styles, but I mean a greater amount of them than we are used to seeing, especially this era.

Ideally yes, let's just hope more kids follow his footsteps.

[FrankieClutch]

No. Maybe American boxers will be more technical, but I still think styles will always very. You're always gonna have your boxers, boxer-punchers, sluggers, etc. It will be interesting to see what the style of the new "face" of boxing will be once Mayweather hangs them up, though.

[285Kid]

Yes , Easy money era is coming

[..David..]

Hahaha ... no way

Believe me most guys would love to fight with a style that they just dont get hit but not everybody its so talented.

There will always be fighters that win with "cojones" more than skill.
