After Manny and Floyd retire in a year or two most likely, who do you see being the likely candidates as the faces of the sport???
Amir Khan? Adrien Broner? Nonito Donaire? Gary Russell Jr? Brandon Rios? Victor Ortiz? Saul Alvarez?
Who do you see propelling into superstar status in the next 4-5 years???
Through promotion and network backing, Canelo, Chavez Jr, Bradley, Bute and Ward are already in place.
In terms of talent, and who couldemerge, I'd say Canelo, Bradley, Ward, Donaire, Russell Jr, possibly Broner (I'm not completely sold), Khan if he improves, Dawson if he can convincingly beat Hopkins, maybe Guerrero can make some noise, Dirrell if he can get it together, Gamboa, Rios will be exciting (though I expect him to eventually get his chin cracked), and whoever emerges from Ortiz/Berto.
Please tell me their is some other Bradley I have never heard of. Motherphuking Tim Bradley couldn't sell out his high school gym.

Canelo will probably be the face of boxing in the future, guys like Broner, Ortiz, Chavez jr, and Khan can also attract crowds. Khan especially is very big in Britain.
Actually, probably the first dominant american heavyweight once Wladimir retires. Is there a possibility for one? One who can dominate this weak era?
Hell, maybe a resurrected Arreola. :lol1:
Any decent amateurs who could be rushed to take the throne post Wlad?
The only exciting HW's I like are Mike Perez, Deontay Wilder, and possibly Seth Mitchell.
They all need to step up their competition though. I think Wilder has the tools, but he needs to fight a live opponent.
If Brandon Rios was marketed more heavily he could be a big star in my opinion.
Hes the kind of guy that could turn casual sportsfans into boxingfans. Purely exciting.
