What is the answer for boxing?

Then where are all these great heavyweights of america going? Note that there isn't many coming through the Olympics(I can't remember any lately). MMA certainly isn't taking these great potential heavyweights away.

I still think it's just a lull.

Scroll up, I gave you the answer in a previous post. The great heavyweights are playing football and basketball. Being an NFL linebacker is a much better occupation than a HW fighter. Ali's well documented and publicized brain damage combined with the rise of the NFL and NBA has effectively neutered the American HW prowess.

But that isn't one of the primary reasons why boxing is dying out. Those have been beaten to death in earlier posts.
