I am more of an outsider with boxing, I enjoy it and keep up with it through the web. But I have very limited hands on experience. Anyway from my point of view the sport is dying in a way. Boxing for a while now has not been getting the athletes that it once did. Because of the lack of acceptance with the mainstream media there is a lack of acceptance with the public (speaking for America). With the monies available through other sports kids are turning to them for their outlets instead of boxing. I think that the problem is reflected by the number of “world champions”, elite, and contenders we dont see from America. America was once a hot bed from sheer volume of boxers produced, but that volume is slowly declining. Through the lack of facilities in the US. Just my opinion, take it or leave it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.saddoboxing.com/t/it-makes-you-think/6173)._
