When I drive to work, I tend to have a lot of thoughts run through my head. Just the other day, I was thinking about how dead boxing has become as a sport. I listen to ESPN Radio everyday and I never hear mentions of boxing anymore.

Lennox Lewis was the last great heavyweight and after his retirement, it wasn't long until MMA burst onto the scene. All my friends have MMA "watch parties" now similar to what I had for boxing 15-20 years ago. Split the costs of the pay-per-view and order a bunch of pizzas and beer. There seems to be very little interest in the sport of boxing with the 40 and below crowd.

Purists might not want to hear the question I am about to pose, but I am going to ask it. I know there are a lot of passionate boxing collectors on here, but once they're gone, will there be any value left in boxing autographs?
