Boxings new breed is gonna be great

[$tate of Mind]

I think the featherweights on the list could do some damage.

I like both Gamboa and Lopez very much, they're exciting terrific fighters, but in order to be great they must improve their skills.

Here's my list to look out for over next few years.


Amir Khan
Nonito Donaire
Andre Ward
Yuriorkis Gamboa
James DeGale
Saul Alvarez
Timothy Bradley
JuanMa Lopez
Kell Brook
Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam
Nathan Cleverly
David Lemieux
Jose Benavidez
Frankie Gomez
Gennady Golovkin
Matvey Korobov
Luis Garcia
Carlos Negron
Erislandy Lara
Guillermo Rigondeaux
Frankie Gavin

definitely a lot of potential. i think donaire just put a lot of excitement back in boxing - it's obvious in this forum alone. when you have a charismatic, entertaining fighter at the forefront of any sport, it's a good thing.

we've had so many talented fighters who just couldn't get their names to the masses either due to poor management, promoting, or just overall lack of charisma / personality.

the last truly marketable boxer was DLH. Manny is marketable because he is so humble, but he's not charismatic. Floyd is popular because he speaks to the overall greedy and superficial nature of pop culture.

ortiz was golden boy's hope, but though he's got personality, his boxing hasn't been good lately.

Alexander sucks.

No. Ortiz sucks.

He doesnt suck but he definitely doesnt belong on that list.

Alexander belongs on that list. It's just that Kotelnik should been included as well.

Meh, Kotelnik is who he is. Very good fighter, not a guy who is going to be p4p world class or keep boxing relevant. Alexander's chances don't look very good, but he still has talent capable of being that.

True. I might not have made the distinction between good and great. There are alot of good and exiting fighters out there, but deciding who will emerge as great is tough.

If I had to pick one, I would go with Kahn.

[ILLuminato]

Yeah, it's an exciting batch of fighters but when you consider Gamboa is nearly 30 already you wonder how long he will keep going.

It's kinda a shame Alexander didn't do better than he did as he's only 23, like Khan. Bradley is 27 and whilst that seems quite young you got to remember Oscar was around since his teenage years up the top like Tito and Roy Jones.

Alexander isn't that skilled.

It's funny how TS didn't include Berto, who's fighting Ortiz, who is on the list. If Berto continues to fight undersized welterweights 147 will be a joke

[ChowAce]

I still think Maidana belongs on that list of fighters.

Exactly. But he should rehire Miguel Diaz as his trainer.
