What boxers in these days, will they talk about in 40 years?

But not everything is beautiful in the eye of the beholder.

You cannot suggest MAB (who was my favourite fighter of the 90s) and Morales were peers with Robinson, Pep, Duran and Burley, that does not make a lick of sense, even as an abstract concept.

 

Yeah, good post.

 

Mayweather definitely. Morales, well i'll be talking about him for as long as i live. Lennox also (if he counts as 'these days'). Hopkins i hope will be spoken about fondly also, because he's a great boxer/tactician definitely.

 

I think someone like Juan Manuel Marquez may become a bit of a cult hero, as well as someone like Wonjongkam or Naito.

 

People will also bring up the likes of Tim Austin and Calderon. Not as top tier but they'll make for healthy debate just as a lot of not so famous ex-champs do on here.

 

Yes, definitely. In Calderon's case I reckon he probably should be talked about when this era is discussed in the future.

 

I certainly won't be talking about Duckweather before I will Hopkins.

 

Duckweather, Now THAT'S FUNNY !

 

We will talk about the likes of Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Bernard Hopkins etc
