Im hearing a lot about the decline of American boxing,which I find a bit odd. The low weights are dominated by Latinos and Asians. But lets look at light welter up shall we? Light Welter. Bradley Patterson, Campbell Holt and Alexander,who are all world class.You could even throw in Mallignagi and Diaz in to that mix Welter Mosely Mayweather Collazo Berto Judah(He could be light welter too) Light Middle Williams Foreman(not sure if he counts.He has spent a lot of time in America) Spinks Kirkland(when he gets out of prison!) Middle Pavlik Winky Super Middle Ward Dirrell Taylor Maybe Greene Light Heavy Dawson Hopkins Cloud Cruiser Cunnigham Flores Godfrey Heavyweight Thompson Chambers Arreola Maybe Ruiz The nation learly has more talent than any other nation still. Its not like Eastern Europeans cant compete anymore. I think stories of Americas boxing death have been greatly exagerrated. ...and im an Irish guy who just lives here!
