Most people think golden boy is cashing him out in the floyd fight but
1) he's not undefeated-another loss wouldn't hurt
2) he's fighting on ppv-most undefeated fighters out there will choose to fight floyd or pac on the big stage win or lose
3) Great fight to make him known to the casuals and make the mexicans adopt him as their new star-especially if floyd plays his villian roleComment

Yeah dude, I try to support Philly boxers more than others, I think Walt and Danny, also like Teon. When I went to A.C. in march, Walt was asking how he looked that night, if that fight was televised, it would've been in the running for FOTY.Comment

Agreed. Ward is something else. Every fight, he is fighting differently(style). He blows my mind.
Ortiz will have to pull an ODLH. Pretty face, nice guy, hero. To become a ppv attraction. The fact that he quit didn't help that cause and his for sure loss comming up won't help that bid either.
Canelo. I doubt he becomes a ppv attraction but i can see his fights getting sold out in CA, NV, and NY.Comment

Rigondeaux has the potential to be great. He has everything in his skillset to do so, all he needs right now is to step up the competition.Comment

I know for sure..Vasya Lomachenko will be in top 5 P4P. 2 more years till this kid shines.

Carl Froch
Nonito Donaire
Andre Ward

None of those guys will be superstars alá Mayweather or Pacquiao. The only ones I think who can become a superstar on THAT level is Saul Alvarez and maybe Jose Benavidez.Who are the future superstars of boxing, top prospects who may become stars are little known boxers that you see that may be big.
I once thought Ortiz was one and could still possibly be. Names like Brandon Rios, Nonito Donaire, Mike Jones, and Andre Ward come to mine.
Of those guys you mentioned... none will ever become household names. They might become great fighters but not superstars.
Hell Saul Alvarez is already a superstar in Mexico and he's like only 20. The fight before his last one was in some outdoor baseball stadium, he's a regular household name over there.Comment
