Are Andre Ward and Timothy Bradley the future of U.S. boxing?

[wazaa.]

I think both are very skillfull fighters but man their styles can be so unentertaining to watch sometimes.

I know some are gonna talk about their 'versatility' and sh*t but truth is that most mainstream boxing fans don't give a sh*t about that. And unlike Floyd neither of these guys have the personality to attract new fans.

That is kind of depressing. I'm a big fan of both, but I have a hard time believing either will ever be a real star. We can claim Donaire, right?

But they are the best the U.S. has to offer now. I cannot see them losing anytime soon so their fights will be frequently shown on tv.

You should add Peterson too

Andre Ward is the future of Irish boxing.

Bradley isnt the future of anything

Best they can probably hope for is a Hopkins type popularity because they kept winning and became well respected legends. Maybe Ward cracks that barrier and becomes a star, but with his style and lack of power I doubt it.
