During the first few months of this year, we’ve already been provided with dozens of great boxing match-ups. We’ve seen champions defend their titles, underdogs pull off upsets, and things are changing as the months continue to pass. It doesn’t seem so long ago that some of the top names in boxing were Roy Jones Jr, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, and Bernard Hopkins. Since then, other names have taken over the sport -such as Floyd Mayweather Jr, Jermain Taylor, Manny Pacquiao, and Antonio Tarver. While some boxers continue to climb the rankings, others fall and try to work their way back up. Therefore, with big names getting bigger, and legends coming up short, here are some of the sport’s biggest names and where their fate lies today. [details]

I agree with everyone but Williams and Larios.Williams is a good guy with a good punch but I just don't think he has the goods to make a real lasting impact on the world stage.He is one of the best on the british boxing scene and maybe in the euro boxing scene.Beating Harrison sounds good and when I found out I was suprised but Harrison hasn't exactly blew most american fans mind with his accomplishments so far and Skelton who I don't know anything about except he has an awkward style and power does not make me think he will come to the us and put Rahman, Byrd, or Brewster to sleep.Maybe if he gets fight with Valuev he can finally win a world title and change my mind even though I think that the big russian will be exposed as nothing more than a novelty act.Losing to Vasquez does not make me think that Larios is done.Vasquez is a very good fighter.Fighting Pacquiao and moving up two weight divisions to do so isn't the smartest thing you can do but I think he has the skills and the power to make more noise at 122 and 126.Some of the other fighters mentioned as being froze like Navarro probably isn't correct imo either.
