    Roy Jones (you're ruining your legacy, just stop)
    Joe Calzaghe (nothing more to prove)
    Bernard Hopkins (nothing more to prove)
    Evander Holyfield (you were shot 10 years ago)
    Andrew Golota
    James Toney
    Antonio Tarver

    That's my list right now. What's yours look like?

    True, I would have put him on my list but since he's retiring after this last fight I didn't.

    **** yeah ..My boy last night brought up a great point ..He said we Americans keep holding on to the past where is the new pool of talent ?

    It use to be every ten yrs we get someone new but now were just holding on to the past ..With respect to the European boxing program the US needs to take a page out of their book on bringing up new talent !

    To be fair it's not all doom and gloom for the Americans, there abit of a vacuum but in 18 months(maybe sooner) with Jacobs,Dirrel,Cloud and Ward joining Bradley,Williams and Dawson things wont be too shabby for you's. I'm sure there are others i've missed.
