Did a similiar thread in 2022, but damn didn't think there be in a immediate shortage titlests in 2024 to 2025, Mexico went from having 12 to 5 champions. Media channels there are mostly uncertain if there is any prospects that standout compared to the past that will take over after the previous top fighters retire.
Odds are that most of contenders are not going win at title now and those that fighter does manage to become champion, it be for a few years due to having qualities that standout, until that same fighter gets figured out stylistically. They are like a "cheese champion", a fighter that has holes in their game.

1990-2000s had P4P standouts like Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez, with tough champions like Orlando Salido, Jorge Arce, Israel Vazquez, Jose Luis Castillo, Oscar Larios, and Rafael Marquez.
2010-2020s had P4P standouts in Juan Francisco Estrada and Canelo Alvarez, with tough champions like Giovani Segura, Carlos Cuadras, Miguel Berchelt, Luis Nery, Gilberto Ramirez, and Emanuel Navarrete.
Thought it be a interesting topic.
With so many established names like Estrada, Canelo, and Navarrete nearing retirement, it seems like the next generation has some serious gaps to fill.
