There are 3 ATG legends that hail from 3rd world Countries that have captivated their countries and became Super Stars in and out of the ring.
Number 1-Roberto Duran (Panama) 1970s 1980s
Number 2-Julio Cesar Chavez (Mexico) 1990s
Number 3-Manny Pacquiao (Philipines) 2000s
Number 4-??? with the imminent decline of Pacquiao, who will be next and from where?
Im surprised Brazil hasn't had one yet.
Jofre? Popo Freitas? Freitas wasnt even that long ago.
****, he was so famous in Brazil that his wedding was televised and one of the most watched events ever there.
You really dont know what youre talking about do you bud?
Next time, instead of starting a **** thread, just think your question to yourself and use google. Best advice I can give.

There are a LOT more than 3 ATG legends from 3rd world countries. Azumah Nelson is ATG from Ghana bud. Julian Jackson from Jamaica.
Not seeing a pattern.
Unless you are trying to say that the torch is getting passed from country to country? but even that wouldnt make sense. The torch keeps going back to Mexico and USA.
Wasnt SRL in the 80's and DLH in the 90's?
To me this list makes no sense
FYI, he does not mean they are the best on that decade.. He just mean that 3rd world countries produced ATG legends on each decade...
Matthysse is a viable name but the way GBP is promoting him doesn't look like they have any intentions of making that happen.
Gamboa had potential as well but he defected too late. Hopefully I will live long enough to see a Cuban make it to that level.

One could argue that Carlos Monzon (Argentina) could be included in that list.....not sure if Argentina is a 3rd World country though :)
Maybe Gennady Golovkin from Kazakhstan
No just no.The dude is 30 years old and has accomplished 0 in his professional career.
As far as OP goes, kinda hard to predict who will be next. There's too much cherrypicking going around nowadays for anyone to be a superstar AND an ATG at the same time. For example, Ward (even tho he's not from a 3rd world, just trying to prove my point) might go on to be an ATG but will he ever become a superstar? He has to fight in his hometown in order to draw anything decent. Then you got people like Canelo who have superstar potential but will he ever fight anyone worth mentioning AND be able to win?

:lol1:
Matthysse could have a very good run at 140, his country needs to get behind him.
if i was argentinian i would be absolutely clamouring for matthysse v maidana. well, i am anyway, but it'd be especially big for that country.
I forgot to mention they have to have fun styles to watch, and i just realized Tito Trinidad is an honorable mention just don't kno where to fit him? Chavez Sr-late 80s early 90s , Trinidad late 90s?
