Is There Anybody Left?

that would make sense if pacquiao was with golden boy promotions I don't think that matters. GBP doesn't have anyone yet of the equivalence of Pacquaio or Oscar himself. The entire boxing in a whole will suffer without a big star or name. It'll be like the economy crisis on awhole new level in the boxing world once Oscar is gone. I mean, have you heard about solo boxeo being cancelled and HBO/Showtime cutting their boxing budgets? It's not looking good man...

Antonio Margarito is one of the most exciting fighters to watch. James Kirkland, Alfredo Angulo and Tavoris Clould have crowd-pleasing styles and could become very popular if given more exposure. And they need to start showing exciting European fighters like Haye, Alexeev, Boytsov, Kessler, etc. instead of the old Americans, so to gradually build up their popularity. Victor Ortiz and JuanMa Lopez both have crowd pleasing styles, Andre Berto, Jorge Linares, Gamboa, Cotto, Pavlik, Taylor can still redeem himself, Luevano has the skill to be a JM Marquez type counter puncher, Haye, Dawson, Areola, Paul Williams, Margarito, Marquez bros., Vasquez, Paquiao, .....thats just off the top of my head. Boxing will be ok, out with old in with new, it wont stop because Oscar leaves.

I still see a lot of guys in the sport who can sell PPVs. Manny Pacquiao Juan Manuel Marquez Israel Vazquez Miguel Cotto Kelly Pavlik (If he redeems himself) Ricky Hatton Not to mention up and comers like Berto, Dawson, Linares, etc.....

I know. Now that RJJ and B-hop are basically done. I'm going to have to find a new fighter to root for in the future. it sucks.... there will be a new ppv boxer...its just a matter of time. I got high hopes for Dirrell.

Pavlik could still redeem himself depending on whether he proves to be the real deal at HW or not, Haye could definitely make some noise given the opportunity

You know, while I don't think this is in any way true, I've always had this in the back of my head. What if, just what IF! Oscar is going to throw this fight purposely to get Pacquiao to be the next big star or face of boxing knowing that he's done very soon. Could he in all reality be trying to do something good for boxing? I mean, I highly doubt it's true and it's gonna make him look like shit for losing to Pacquiao, but it's just a thought that has ran in my head when you take into account, aside from Oscar, there's nobody huge anymore in boxing that carries followings like them. Hatton's crap and will be done shortly so he don't count.

Hatton, Pac, and Cotto. Cotto's gotta redeem himself though. Hatton and Pac are going to be retired in like 2 fights. Then it's just going to be Cotto until some new guys rise.

In the US? somebody will eventually turn up, hopefully a Heavyweight. Worldwide? Dozens...

pac is done in a fight or two.i don't think he's gonna stick around for long.just cash out with 2 or 3 fights.

Cotto can sell tickets. As well as Pacquiao. Berto's rising.

right now? pacman tyson that's it Tyson is done.....its too bad though

I know. Now that RJJ and B-hop are basically done. I'm going to have to find a new fighter to root for in the future. it sucks.... there will be a new ppv boxer...its just a matter of time.
