P4P best will be one of these guys
Featherweight- Gamboa, Juanma, Caballero, John, Rojas
Lightwelterweight- Bradley, Maidana, Ortiz, Alexander
Whoever dominates their division first.
Agreed, whoever comes out on top of those divisions has a strong case. And if Andre Ward comes out on top of the Super Six and then goes on to beat some other super middleweights (Bute) and Light Heavyweights (Hopkins?), he is a very strong contender.
Personally, I think it will be between Ward, Bradley, Khan, Lopez, Gamboa. Dawson, if he can rebound from his loss to Pascal, I still believe he has what it takes for P4P supremacy. Mares is very good, but also in a very tough division. For Benavidez, 5 years would be too early, but he definitely has the potential.
Edit: Nonito Donaire will be up there too!
Andre Ward gets my pick, i think he will win the Super Six, gets a few more big wins under his belt and after Mayweather and Pacqiauo retire he will fill the vacancy.

Personally Im counting on Juanma, only two division champ on that list.
Of course I cant forget of Sergio Martinez either.
In 5 years time Martinez will be 40 years old lol Unless Mayweather or Pacqiauo give him a shot i really cant see that happening.
Something about JuanMa i like man, i don't know what it is because i think hes very very beatable but everytime he fights i want him to win, i hope he becomes a top guy down the line.
**** Ward he has the most unwatchable style worse than Hopkins and Hatton, my best bet is Gamboa if gets his defense really straight and Martinez if he wins few big fights.
Andre Ward, David Haye, Jose Benavidez. Golovkin and Korovob are very good fighters but I dont think p4p1. If Lomachenco and Raushee Warren turns pro I give them a chance
It's stupid to predict things like this.
3 or 4 years ago the answer to this question would have consisted of "locks" like Kelly Pavlik and Juan Diaz.
Edit* and just last week I would've told you Chad Dawson was the "lock", eventhough I still think he'll get there.
Let's be serious... We all know Bernard Hopkins is getting his second wind and is going to be P4P again at 50... Yes, that's a joke.
I would personally pick a wild card. Maybe the Cash Cow - JCC Jr. if get gets past Cotto, then he will be battle tested and just get better. In five years if he keeps improving, he will be tearing some ass and in the discussion. Longshot, but hey - What's a guess without an underdog right?
Seriously though, I think Ward is a good safe choice. Only because he is pretty and dirty at the same time and I like him because of that. Just my opinion, don't crucify me.
Seems like me an Steelhammer are the only knowledgeable posters on Boxingscene.
Lolz. You are asking an opinion I believe... a future prediction. Great conclusion.

although i like a lot of the same fighters you guys like - you are both extremely bias to european fighters. there are great fighters from all regions of the world, and the klitschkos are pretty much the only europeans being extremely dominant at the world class level right now.
