A lot of the names mentioned are the guys I have high hopes for too. But wouldn't it be right to put some of these fights (i.e. Gamboa vs Lopez) on a major card (i.e. Pacquiao vs Mayweather if it ever happens). I realise someone is taking a financial hit for something like that to happen, but to me the 'greed is good' mantra in boxing has ultimately worked against the sport in ways highly detrimental.
To me, boxing needs occasionaly to put all its superstars - current and future - in there against each other on the same night in the same building, and not wait 17 years for the rematch.
Andre Ward, no doubt in my mind, the guy has everything. Good defense, offense, movement, intelligence in the ring, dedication, stamina, and the most important, good jab
Hozumi is already a superstar in Japan though. So I don't know if he would count. Jorge Linares is only muthafuckin 24 years old and already has the high-end skill set like an elite boxer. Edwin Valero is 28, he is destined for greatness, I just hope he can refine his skills a bit more, it will make him truelly unbeatable.
