February is not even halfway over and I find myself searching schedules and websites for upcoming fights, the anticipation I have for certain fights and fighters, Lacy-Calzaghe, Castillo-Corrales 3, Hatton fighting in America, is tempered somewhat when I realize that by the end of this year we may have said goodbye to five of boxing's biggest stars.
While the boxing world is getting ready to say so long, Canastota will be preparing to welcome to it's halls perhaps the most accomplished class ever inducted.
If all goes according to plan, then this should be the last active year for boxing greats Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De La Hoya, Kostya Tszyu and Julio Cesar Chavez. All have given notice that they are within a fight or two of hanging up their gloves. Their careers have crossed paths on occasion, which is the way great fighters approach the fight game, by fighting the best.
