Usain Bolt & Michael Phelps who will both switch sports after the Olympics and meet in a heavyweight unification fight.With Floyd hanging up the gloves, De La Hoya on his way soon, Roy Jones Jr well past his best, MBA and Morales gone and Pac wont have too many left in him.
Who will be boxings next big star?
Cotto was a big fav. before the loss to Marg. Maybe he still will be but any thoughts on who will be the next fighter to rise to the occasion and become the biggest name in boxing?Comment

He can fight:
Calzaghe - If Joe doesn't retire.
Lucian Bute/Kessler - Both those fights would be great if he plans on Moving to Super Middle.
Felix Sturm/Sebastian Sylvester- Would be huge fights in Germany.
Plus there are plenty of up and coming fighters at Super middle who could make potential future fights for Pavlik.
Carl Froch
Andre Dirrell
Adonis Stevenson
Andre Ward
Jean PascalLast edited by mrpain81; 08-20-2008, 05:55 PM.Comment

I would say Andre Berto. Possibly Haye, if he does well as a heavyweight.. If Pavlik and Abraham fight, the winner of that fight goes to another level of stardom. Particularly Abraham since many people have already touted Pavlik as one of the greatest middleweights which I don't think he's even come close to proving yet. Antonio Margarito and Paul WilliamsWith Floyd hanging up the gloves, De La Hoya on his way soon, Roy Jones Jr well past his best, MBA and Morales gone and Pac wont have too many left in him.

a white MW from the midwest that likes to ****? HBO is lovin Pavlik and they'll do what they can to make him the next big thingComment

If he can make some noise in the Heavyweight division, i think Chris Arreola has a bright future ahead of him. As far as the lower wait classes we're just going to have to wait and see. There are good prospects such as Linares, Mares, and Gamboa who also have a bright future. However, i don't think they possess that superstar quality. If Andre Berto can stay undefeated and not jump in to quick with these top WW's he might be able to draw a lot of attention, same case can be made about Amir Kahn at lightweight.Last edited by damoreno; 08-21-2008, 10:32 AM.Comment

I think Joe will retire, Kessler would be the best fight out there for Kelly but Calzaghe beat him first and didnt become a massive global starHe can fight:
Calzaghe - If Joe doesn't retire.
Lucian Bute/Kessler - Both those fights would be great if he plans on Moving to Super Middle.
Felix Sturm/Sebastian Sylvester- Would be huge fights in Germany.

Im not so much thinking who is the most skilled fighter, more to who will be the fighter that people know about. Ie.. Hagler, Hearns ,Duran Tyson, RJJ, PBF and De La Hoya.
I still think Cotto will play a part.Comment
