Who Will Take Over For Oscar??

Thats what people always said but then theres always someone who comes up. People thought after ali left it was over then Leonard came after him tyson after him oscar

I dont think there will be a 'Golden Boy' type character for a while. the fame will be spread around to different guys. I know a bunch of people hate Mayweather on this site, but the guy is popular as hell, and if he and Pacquiao fight(assuming they both continue their winning streaks) it will be huge. Itll be like the Fab 4. Leonard on his own was quite popular, but not quite the De La Hoya or Mike Tyson type of guy. those two could fight just ok fighters and still get a ton of publicity for it, as long as it had a good enough story or other advertising point. Leonard had huge fights when he was paired up against Hagler, Hearns, Duran...but(I may be wrong) I dont think him alone was that enormous a draw. maybe that Danny Jacobs fellow. Hes called the Golden Child, and is pretty damn quick. he needs to fight someone at least gatekeeper level one of these days, the guy is fighting nothing but sacrificial lambs up to this point...Khan and Ortiz are both WAY ahead of him, and the three of them are all about the same age.

Forget about Oscar, there isn't even a Trinidad out here. Hatton and Paquio are probably the two biggest draws right now. Neither of them draw as much as Trinidad did in his prime. Even Roy drew more than Hatton and Pac. Trinidad has fought on PPV since fighting Vargas. Hatton has like two PPV fights. I bet Trinidad is the biggest draw in boxing. He can go get more PPV buys than anyone besides De la.

if ortiz keeps going like he is he might. He has to lose that chicano accent tho. Arreola= no way the guys looks like shit and he has rolls places i didnt think people could have. Hatton and Pacman are in the last quarter of their careers so i would say no.

Victor Ortiz will be the new golden boy in a couple years imo

i'd say arreola

Paul Williams, Juan Manuel lopez, I really can see anyone filling in for Oscar de La Hoya. Those are two exciting boxers, but they have to show something more. Lopez is charismatic, but he doesn't know english. Paul Williams just seems too quiet. Mayweather might still sell out PPVs. Many want to see him lose so you know they'll tune in and watch especially if he fights a tough opponent, but i dont thhink mayweather will stay around for too long, if indeed he comes back.

Chris arreoloa is ugly. He wont take Oscar's place. Khan is a british-arab/indi... enough said. Ortiz isn't all that great so no, he wont be a big draw. Dr. Doom a.k.a Margarito was a huge draw until the scandal. If some young American cat comes up and wins a medal in the Olympic boxing. Then bursts on the scene in the pro's with a good undefeated streak. Add a touch of GQ. That will be the next Dela-hoya. So as I think of who is active that fits that description... no one.

Hopefully the US take to Khan a bit. He will never reach Oscar level success in the US, but I think he can be more popular than Hatton is in America. http://www.wlct.org.uk/culture/linconline/images/khan.jpg This minus 30lbs of lard could be a big star. http://thebluecorner.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/arreola3.jpg I think if Berto keeps winning, he can reach the popularity of a guy like Mayweather.

victor ortiz....imo....arreola has a chance to make the heavyweight division fun for fans again..... the pacquiaos, hattons, and mosleys of the world i think dont have long till they retire

They say Ortiz...but I really don't know man...I would have to say pacman based on his fights...but he doesn't make much PPV sales such as any DLH fight.....
