Every generation produces its exceptional athletes.  For the past ten years names like Lopez, Barragon, Diaz, Negrete, Guillermo, Bustamante and Gras pushed limits, instilled greatness and set the standard for the new LAPD boxer coming in. As legacies get passed on the cycle renews and a new crop of fighters evolve. The LAPD Boxing team is in a transition stage. New fighters, Alex Perez, Ray Encinas, Mike Barragan, Aurelio Vasquez, Ruben Rosas, Quincy Mirage, Jose Luis Rivera, Chuck Wampler, Miguel Mejia, Brendy Ponce, Josh Skeber, Eriverto Montano and Shannon Lopez will look to make a name for themselves and keep the LAPD Boxing tradition going.  The new convergence of talent can look back at the past accomplishments left by the pioneers of the LAPD Boxing Team and strive for their own greatness.
