By Carlos Garcia Severich: Is boxing a deer in headlights, are we at the dawn of a new era or at the twilight of its existence. The sport we all have learned to love and accept regardless of the mistreatment of its most devoted fans has seen the star of Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. cruise into retirement with his unblemished record of 49-0.
It is said a sport is as reflection of its fans and superstars but where does it leave us on the post Mayweather era. Looking back in Boxing’s rich history many names come to our heads Ali, Liston, Louis, Robinson, Johnson, Dempsey among others but what they all have in common is the legacy they left behind.
By Carlos Garcia Severich: Each generation yearns for its next superstar and once every blue moon the boxing Gods smile upon us and send us what many believe to be the savior of this noble sport. Today’s superstars are about to become old news, many new names have surfaced and as we have heard them we have forgot them by now.
