If Cuba went professional

Cubans moving to Europe? Good sense of humor you guys have... The only Cubans in Europe are Garcia, Perez and Acosta, who are still young and learning. They will come to America as soon as they get some experience and recognition, as Gamboa and Solis did. Rigondeaux is NOT living in Europe and he will never do it. If Hyde gets stubborn about it he will just lose his fighter (if it's really his) and ruin Rigo's career by the same occasion.

Europe is not the future of boxing at all, actually it's the last place on Earth... It's the PRESENT place for heavy weight boxing, but that's about it (that's also why Juan Carlos Gomez is also staying in Europe). Latinos are too strong in the lighter divisions and they like USA, so no Europe there... And the HW scene just sucks now, whatever country you consider...

 

because he already had a contract with gary hyde in irelandatsch

 

garcias a supermiddleweight

 

Europe basically have a stranglehold on 154lbs and above.:think

 

Yes?

 

thats y he cant fight in the us thats the legal reason

 

I'm not being pro- Europe.
I'm telling it like it is.. I love american fighters.
America does not produce any good boxers these days, compared to the rest of the world.. its just a simple fact.

 

Who cares where the "future" of boxing is...so long as it's a good future?

Because right now fellas, the present is kinda weak.

 

I disagree.

The lower weight classes are in fine shape. Heavyweights needs som spark, we may just have it.. but it's not an American fighter.. sure Arreola might be in some barnburners that are fun to watch but he's not on the level of a Klitschko or Chagaev, or even a Haye.

I agree with you on the other part, as long as its a good future I am perfectly fine.

 

I really could care less whether it's american or anything with the HW division. Personally I think Povetkin is the best of all the young HWs and lord knows he's about as american as rugby.

The HW division has two proven champions and a bunch of flawed unknowns. There's a lot to like about guys like Wilder, Fury, Haye, Arreola and Povetkin and then a lot to dislike about them. I don't expect perfect fighters of course but the division seems loaded with unknowns and also rans.

The MW division is in absolute shambles with two great fighters nowhere close to fighting one another.

The LHW division is the shits. You've got Chad Dawson and a bunch of fluff residing there.

147 is about to enter a cool down period with Williams, Cintron, Judah and Quintana testing different weight classes and Margarito suspended.

I think the best way to put this is that the premier moneymaking divisions are in shambles where as the unheralded divisions are finally getting their just due.

 

If Europeans love boxing so much, where are the great European fighters? I see a lot of Slavs from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, but what about Europeans from non-impoverished countries? If Germans love boxing so much, where are the German champions that are non-imports? Everyone knows Germans have athletic talent, are they just more interested in glorifying the accomplishments of some poor Slav than they are in actually fighting themselves?

The future of boxing is in the ghetto and in impoverished communities, as it always has been.
