Who's the next star

After Canelo? I don't even like the prick, but he's a draw. Crawford is on the tail end of his career, and was never a big draw to begin with. Honestly the future for boxing is looking dum.

Depends on how you define "star"...do you mean the guy that commands the highest purse, regardless of resume? Or the guy with the best record/results/belts? The one with the most casual popularity?

The most casual popularity.....casual fans drive all sports

Blair the Flair.

I'm not too sure if that alone makes a star, because if that becomes the definition then the next "star" of boxing is the boxer with the most followers on Social Media, which suddenly makes the Paul brothers a "boxing superstar" and Ryan Garcia will be near the top of active boxing stars.
In fact, purely by social media followers Garcia has more than 10x that of Bud.

ryan garcia if he wins his next fight.

Zander Xayas, maybe. Jared Anderson could've been it but if you take him at his word he's not going to challenge himself.
