Whos the next big thing?

SAUL and SONSONA!

yes. if u want juanma to get far

Bowie Toupou, or whatever its spelled, looked like a potential hot contender until he lost to...whoever it was. yea but the guy looks more like a football player than a fighter, he's too bulky, could cause issues with speed or stamina.

I know mexico is running out of fighters but noone listed any mexicans? I mean most of the prospects are unproven but noone has caught your eyes? Besides Ortiz that ****ed it up.

Why do so many people dislike Amir Khan? I understand the talk about his weak chin but those are the cards he was dealt, amazing speed, less than great chin. He showed alot of heart coming back and facing good competition after getting KO'd. If Roach can teach him to protect that weak chin he'll be great. I also like Ward, Bradley, Rigodalaux and Gamboa

I was high on Ortiz until he got KOed! I hope he can came back. Right now I think the future will be SonSona Donaire Khan Cloud Kirkland after his prison terms Linares Concepcion Juanma

thats cool foo.......:moon:

I think you said Matt Korobov and yea man it would be interesting to see a another european fighter at mw, and even in huge fights.

Матвей Коробов Александр Поветкин Дмитры Пирог слава Россия!!! Okay no need for that language i saw u on another thread with writting on english.

Hmmmm let see... Juan Manuel Lopez Nonito Donaire Yurikis Gamboa Guellermo Rigodalaux Paul Williams Chad Dawson Travoris Cloud Jean Pascal Eddie Chambers (If the Klitsckos Retires) Victor Ortiz (If he can bounce back) Amir Khan Timothy Bradley Marvin Sonsona David Haye James Kirkland (If he returns to the ring) Danny Jacobs On those list, only a few who I think will really make it to the top

Some prospects could blow up like Lara, Korobov, Jacobs, or Fernando Guerrero in the future. The only difference between marketable fighters who get all of the attention and the ones who don't is the lack of opportunity. If the up and comers put in their time, they will eventually shine when the spotlight is available and the top fighters of the present exit. Boxing will never be without any stars at all. hell yeah, i have my money on matt that kid is going to be beast.

I'm thinking Donaire. Chad Dawson needs to spice his style up a bit more. Hmm, I don't know man. If you include America, I don't think Donaire would be it simply because to fans he's too small and probably won't ever go past Bantamweight. I like the guy, but I just don't see it happening. Maybe Juanma Lopez of Puerto Rico if he continue to dominate and move up in weight while cleaning out divisions!!! It's fairly unquestionable that JuanMa is the next great Puerto Rican hero. I don't know how far he'll go, but he's got the ability, look, and charisma to be their national icon. or maybe an amateur standout coming out of the olympics ... *Silently prays that Sugar Ray Leonard has an illegitimate child somewhere.*

Lucian Bute is also a pretty obvious answer. Kessler also, if he wins the Super 6. It's a crime that he isn't bigger already.:damnit: I wrote a p4p list on another thread and I was actually tempted to put Kessler in the top 10 but i thought everyone woulda thought i was crazy and Bute needs finish better in his rematch with andrade.

Unfortunately, I don't see any 'big draws' or 'future ATGs' in the horizon...Golden Boy Promotions was counting on Victor Ortiz...Yeah, we know what happened there...Juan Manuel Lopez is not like his fellow countrymen, Miguel Cotto, who is willing to take risks and fight the best...Although, Juan Manuel is considered more charismatic...Chad Dawson is unfortunately in a very weak light heavyweight era, so there is no way for him to prove his worth or show his skill set against mediocre fighters (yes, there is Cloud, but he hasn't been tested in deep waters as of the moment, and let's be honest, Clinton Woods, was not a test)...Kelly Pavlik got dismantled by BHop....And in all honesty, I don't see why there is so much fuss about Nonito Donaire...Yes, he put Vic to sleep, but that is one win...and after his most recent performance, I don't see anything special except that since he is a Filipino, the Philippines is trying to find that next great hope (yep, Viloria, Z Gorres, & Banal all failed to live up to the unreachable heights of the Pacman, and don't get me started on Boom Boom Bautista...)...Then you have this SMW tourney...Come on, none of these guys are a big draw...Dirrell, Taylor, Froch, Abraham, etc...No superstar to be found...Ivan Calderon is stuck in the lower weight classes, which makes Pacman so special...dude has titles in six weight classes starting in the lower classes up to jr. welterweight, 4 lineal titles, but as usual, I digress! Andre Berto shows signs of greatness, but has yet to show that consistent heart of a warrior (i.e. watch his 'clinch' fest with Urango)...Paul Williams is a freak of nature in regards to his punch output, size, etc...but just isn't a big draw to the fans...that may be due to fighters ducking him, so maybe it's not his fault directly... It's unfortunate that when Cotto, Pac, Marquez, Mayweather, & you can even include Mosley into this mix, that the future is not looking too bright in regards to that one superstar that can carry boxing for the next generation...Don't get me wrong...I hope the 'next big thing' will come along, but I just don't see that happening...But even so, I hope there will be some memorable wars that will take place!

Nobody has said Timothy Bradey????? Do people think he is losing to Peterson? Whats up with this Aydin guy at welter, I like that filipino Mellligen, Canelo Alvarez and Linares too.

I'm thinking Donaire. Chad Dawson needs to spice his style up a bit more. I personally don't think Valero, I don't know if it is his management team or just him as a fighter. Ortiz wasted a brilliant oppurtunity, he had a moment to define what he's made of and he kinda bailed. Maybe Juanma Lopez of Puerto Rico if he continue to dominate and move up in weight while cleaning out divisions!!! Donaire & JuanMa needs a lot more string of big victories before they can be really big, and the problem is there are not too much big names to go have fight with...

Some more, Jorge Linares, Nathan Cleverly and Kell Brook.

Juan Ma Lopez, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Matt Korobov, Daniel Jacobs, Chad Dawson, Paul Williams, Andre Berto, James Kirkland.

Nathan Cleverly or Kell Brook.

i think someone who we never heard of will pop out of the woodworks .... imagine the reaction way back then if PACQUIO's name is mentioned on this type of threads... or maybe an amateur standout coming out of the olympics ... for Amir, hey PAC got kd twice and koed twice before ...anything is possible...
