Originally posted by StarshipTrooper View PostThat's a case of the deterioration of the pro game that I was talking about. The only way someone with ten pro fights under his belt could ever possibly be considered among the best in the world at that point in his career is if the quality of pro boxing has deteriorated to it's lowest level ever.

If boxing is indeed "suffering it's death gasps"... how come we today see more boxers, engaging in more fights, in more countries, that at any other time in the past 50-60 years?

Why is the fact that someone can rise to the absolute top of his division in less than 20 fights so objectionable to you? What has that got to do with the overall state of boxing?
Isn't it possible, that someone like Lomachenko simply is extraordinarily talented, and has got to where he is today because of that - and not necessarily because he's lucky to come along in an era, that is at an all-time low?
