    The End of an Era - The Start of a New

    Today Wladimir Klitschko Retired
    Everybody seems to be in agreement that it is a good decision
    He retires with the fans Respect
    Something he hasn't always had
    Bernard Hopkins was recently Knocked out The Ring and Forced into retirement
    He didn't retire with the fans respect
    Pacquiao was beaten by a dude nobody had even heard of 8months ago and really should retire
    Roy Jones Musta Forgot he keeps getting ktfo as he keeps on fighting
    Floyd and Cotto are next up to retire
    Marquez too

    The New Generation has Arrived
    Spence
    Crawford
    Joshua
    Canelo
    Lomachenko
    Garcia

    Anyway My point to the thread is this.....

    Can The New Generation Compete with the Era we just witnessed???

    Can they break records?
    Can They make boxing bigger?
    Greater fights?
    Rivalry's??

        LOOOOOOOL

        But the topic don't realllllly need **** measuring doe was my point. The ending of this era of boxing is a real thing & its a dramatic thing we all can feel & relate to.

        Plus how can we really even compare mfers that we have full knowledge of what they were & weren't capable of to guys who are still trying to find out who they are or aren't. Can't even do a real 80's fighters vs 90's fighters comparison, for example, cuz its more speculative then normal cuz we don't know the value of these new mfers who haven't won &/or lost their biggest fights of their careers yet.

          It wasn't meant as dlck measuring
          More excitement for what's to come and what people's thoughts were
          With a shout out to the fighters on their way out

          It's good times to be a fan

            Good topic. I agree with your choices of the new generation, except for Joshua. I don't see him lasting too long to make a legacy. That's just my su****ion. He isn't that skilled.

            Maybe you could add people like Usyk, Davis, Katie Taylor, etc.

                Davis is ducking though haha

                Nah off the top off my head I drew a blank
                I wanted to mention Eubank and usyk but
                You know how it goes

                Feel free to discuss any fighters

                Good shout on Katie
                Can women actually crossover
                It seems to becoming a part of mainstream but slowly
                Which is good

                But if Ali's daughter couldn't get people interested
                Who can?

                    Oh and on Joshua
                    I would have agreed pre Klitschko
                    But once a fighter proves me wrong

                    He's got his flaws
                    Many of them
                    But he also has a lot a attributes

                    He's one to keep an eye on
