    I see boxing in the US in particular not the same as it was in the 80's and earlier eras. WE are basically without Heavyweights, the HW are ran by Euros and I see it like that for years to come! Anything from Middleweight to Heavyweight, I see it as "lost" division for the US in the years to come.

    Heavyweights-Run by Euros and I don't see any Americans making it big on this division.
    Cruiserweights- As above
    Light-Heavy...:verysad
    SMW...this one looks like we have one of our best talent in Ward but outside of him its mainly Euro boxers.
    Middleweight-this one gets intersting....None from the US as all the good fighters on this division are from Europe, 1 Argentinean who has 1 or possible 2 more years to go, and 1 Mexican who is overhyped and overprotected. This one might be the hottest divison in 1 or 2 more years yet I don't see the BIG fights happening in the US.


    PLEASE TELL ME I AM WRONG! I just don't see any new up and comers making an impact from the US in these divisions.

    The thing is, I don't see anymore boxing gyms, atleast in my area. Its mostly MMA gyms.

    And I think MMA in the US is hot among teens and those teens will be growing to love MMA. Unlike boxing. MMA in European nations is nonexitant. That plus take into account all the sports that other kids would rather practice than boxing, in the US atleast.

    If there is something that concerns me is the lack of boxing gyms. Like serious ones. They are either the "boxing program" of an MMA gym or a weak ass "boxercise" cardio workout. Thank God for my local PAL league. Its probably the most hardcore boxing gym in my area and kept to its boxing gym roots.

    Tumbleweeds........


    Seriously though the US will always be relevant to boxing. If some HW sensation were to come about it might become a bigger sport again, but more likely it will stay like it is which is a niche sport.

    It'll never die across the pond because of it's great history and it's hardcore fans.

    It will be around. Americans may just have to appreciate foreign boxers more since there will be more foreign champs. The same is happening in pro tennis, less and less American champs while other countries are producing the best.

    Guys the world has changed so much since the fall of the ussr and

    sports is no different,we as americans who followed the sport saw

    the amature being ussr and cuba personaltrophy case in the 70's, all

    those great fighter who were never given the chance to show the

    world what they can do are sure making up for lost time. America

    will alwayshave a strong place in boxing but european, asian and

    south american fighters areproving this is a global sport. looked at

    pro basketballi it has exploded all over the world,

    these things happen, i see china in the next 20 years as a force in

    pro boxing and maybe the emergeing asian nation like india and the

    middle east
