    What active fighters are we not going to see how truly great they are?

    And I don't mean because of ducking and **** but because there is no other talent around to test them.

    My examples are Rigondeoux, Gamboa, Martinez and Ward. Amazing talents but will we ever find out how truly good they are?

    Edwin Valero... oh sorry.

    Rigondeaux is going to get tested. He's got Donaire and Nisioka to contend with, along with Gamboa, Salido, or any of the Bantamweight guys that feel like moving up.

    Ward's going to have a tricky time against Bute, and there's a lot of talent at Light Heavyweight which he could get stuck into.

    Martinez is a little stuck, and I don't think he's going to get a good fight until he retires.

    Mayweather,I think his retirement really hurt because that was when the WW division was booming, he has shown his greatness but I think it will be underated bc besides about 3 fights he has never been tested

    Martinez,just not much for him,and he won't move up to 168 where there are plenty of fights for him,only wants the big payday chasing Pac or Floyd

    All those little guys you mentioned are gonna run into each other so that will settle itself.

    Joining The Money team will do just that.

    I dont get it, all four of the guys you've mentioned will have to prove their greatness at one point or another. gamboa and rigondeaux will if they become more consistent. when's the last time we saw yuri in the ring?

    Mayweather, because he won't fight anyone who will challenge him.

    Wlad, because nobody out there to challenge him except his brother.

    Krikland, because nobody wants to fight him because he's dangerous.

    Martinez, because everyone is ducking him.

    It's insane. So many blown chances. Missed out on the Juanma fight, now missed out on Rios. Now he's not even got anything lined up.

    Not good, really not good.

    But will they have the resumes in order to make it to the hall of fame or become all time greats? Do you see what I'm trying to get at

    Wlad and Vitali - They're in a whole different level compared to their opposition, there's not a single soul out there that could test them aside from each other, let alone an ATG that could give them a career defining fight.

    Rigondeaux, Golovkin, Martinez - Nobody with a name wants to fight them because they're too dangerous and bring little money to the table

    Gamboa - Good example of an idiot making all kind of bad career decissions and missing all the good opportunities he's had

    Mayweather -
