If boxing is to become mainstream again, who will lead it there?

[Pac Man Fan 83]

IMO that man will be non other than Jeff Lacy. People love the heavyweights, and while he will probably never be a heavyweight, he will be a light heavyweight as soon as he gets bored with the super middleweight division.

Lacy is an exciting fighter who has the ability to KO his opponents, and that is exactly what people want to see when they watch boxing. The only problem is that I am not sure if there are going to be many people to challenge him. By the time he gets to light heavy, Tarver will either be at the end of his career or already done. We'll see I guess, maybe Jermain Taylor will move up and fight him.

But I definately think the face of boxing over the next five years will be Jeff Lacy. I think he will be bigger than Roy Jones.

Jeff Lacy, Cotto if his potential turns out to be for real, Andre Ward(What more do you want the kids a gold medalist and we all saw what happened with are last gold medalist) PBF, and Margarito if he can start landing some good opposition.

If boxing is to become mainstream again... The next "BIG THING" needs to be a heavyweight... Nothing else will do.

We need another Mike Tyson!

Correct, my good man. Karma for that. However, I think once Calzaghe recovers and beats Lacy or Winky he will grab America by the balls...

If boxing is to become mainstream again it will not be a fighter who maeks that happen it will be a promotional company, at least in my mind.

Golden Boy Promotions has stated that its ultimate goal is to put boxing back on network TV, I know GBP has been guilty as of late of some of the worst ppv cards in recent memory but they are working toward a goal, therfore it may have to get worse before it gets better.

If GBP goal is realized and they managed to ink a deal with ABC, NBC, FOX or CBS boxing and bring back big time prize fighting to network television they will have done more than any fighter. (Tyson may be the exceoption and if we are waiting around for another HW monster like Mike than we might be waiting a while).

Network television is the ticket! Weather its feasible is another question.

I don't know why it has to be a heavyweight. Honestly, Id rather watch a cruiserweight, junior welter or a middleweight bout than any heavyweight fights. I always hated tyson fights, only Heavies I like are Toney, Lewis, and Byrd.

Heavyweight fights to me are not entertaining. I dont see why the cruisers, or any other division for that matter, dont get more attention. I want to see fighters who can actually fight.

You guys need to watch the lighter guys. I'm talking about featherweights, lightweights and welterweights. Heavyweights are boring as hell and I cant stand watching 2 guys hugging all night.
