It%26#039;s been a while since there has been a boxer that really excited me. I am hoping that one of the up and comers like Cintron will fill that bill maybe even Vernon Forrest%26#039;s return. Who do you think will rekindle boxing%26#039;s spirit?|||There are many many exciting boxers out there.....but sadly they just aren%26#039;t reaching the casual boxing fans......there are so many other sports fighting for their market share at the moment that boxing is now becoming a minority sport. Boxing needs to get on FREE TV on a weekly basis. The stars need to be marketed more to the general public. Ok another Tyson would help to generate more aduences BUT while we wait (and the next one will come.... they always do) we need to look at getting the stars out to the general public....PPV is a nail in the coffin...........|||well, if floyd mayweather would quit talking bout retirement I think he could. he obnoxious enough, plus he%26#039;s damn good. Only thing is they have to find someone to actually give him a fight which is probably easier said than done.
and yea I know he%26#039;s fittna fight this decemeber, but it seems like everytime he wins a fight he starts talking that retirement jibba jabba|||this idea that boxing is being knocked off the map is because all these MMA fools are drones to whatever dana white says, its simple not true. This year boxing broke the record for a PPV event with hoya/mayweather with over 2 million buys. THe seats were filled with celebs like i never seen before. As far as fights go, boxing fans are spoiled this year. We have had a great year of fights so far and its only getting better.
we still have Cotto/mosley, taylor/pavlik, hatten/mayweather, vasquez/marquez 3, a possible zab/margarito, kessler/calzaghe, barerra/paq, soto/guzman. These are all very competitive fights that true boxing fans have been asking for. The future lightweight division has a kid named Chad Dawson who is very fun to watch and is being trained by mayweather sr. Joan Guzman is set to take over the lightweight division. Kidsidis is set to be the new version of Gatti. Paul Williams is a freak of nature who fans seem to take a liking too. Theres a lot for boxing fans to be excited about and the only thing mma has done is wake the sport up.|||Boxing is on the map and there are some good ones out there - both classic boxers and tough brawlers. A couple of up and comers are the Peterson brothers from D.C.|||There may be fighters that put boxing back in the main stream, but it won%26#039;t be Cintron and definitely won%26#039;t be Forrest. Usually the most skilled fighters don%26#039;t attract a lot of attention. It has to be an all out brawler that give the crowd exciting fights. I saw Pacquiao%26#039;s name mentioned and he is probably the closest thing to that. Arturo Gatti had a huge following and he was nowhere near the top fighter in boxing.|||Vernon Forrest will not do anything special for the sport, especially at this point in his career. Personally, I don%26#039;t even see how he was deserving of a title fight over a week ago. Anyway, answering the question, Manny Pacquiao is one name that comes to mind. There are a few others, but I like what Pacquiao have been doing over the last couple of years and is still doing. Also, I think either one of the current heavyweight champions could help a lot, if they could unify the titles.|||Only Mike Tyson reborn and there is no one right now that has that potential!
