Who are the future superstars of boxing?

Ward is already developing into a Superstar, some of you just don't want to believe it because YOU PERSONALLY don't like him and/or his style so you want others to not like him lol
but Ward has a pretty good promoter in Goossen/Tutor, he has a strong network in Showtime that is clearly behind him 100%, he is very Charismatic and is very well spoken and give excellent interviews, he is a very likable guy outside of the ring...I think that is what the Super 6 Tournament was for, to basically SHOWCASE WARD and give him Exposure to help him become a bigger star and I think it is working, will he ever be a MAJOR PPV DRAW...I guess we will have to wait and see, Bute vs Ward is already considered a pretty BIG FIGHT
Gamboa should already be a bigger stars and a draw as should Nonito Donaire especially after some very impressive WINS and they are both very exciting in the ring but the Smaller Division always kind get over looked by the Casual Fans UNFORTUNATELY so I don't know just how big of a star either of them can or will be especially if they can't move up to the more POPULAR DIVISION, I think Gamboa can possibly get up to maybe 135-140
big on Frankie Gomez and Jose Benavidez of course (like both of their potential more then Alvarez and Chavez Jr. especially Benavidez!)
Kell Brook could be that guy in the Welterweight Division that people are not paying attention to RIGHT NOW but he could come up out of no where and change the landscape of that
Adrien Broner...yeah I know people hate the kid and hate how he fought against Ponce De Leon but the dude has TALENT and has pretty good charisma (a natural TRASH TALKER lol), like Mayweather, he can probably turn that HATE into a lot of MONEY and use it to help make him a DRAW but for a dude that is only 21 years old, he has A LOT OF OVERALL NATURAL BOXING SKILLS...will have to wait and see how he does against Litzua next week thoughLast edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 06-12-2011, 06:13 PM.

De La Hoya, Mayweather, Pac, RJJ, are really the only superstars in the 21st century, RJJ more so in the 90's... I'd barely consider B-Hop a superstar and hell I'm a huge fan of him but lets face it, he aint a household name. The average Joe in Anytown, USA doesn't know who B-Hop is.
Superstar status is only reserved for very very few, a handful(if even that) for every 10 years. Ward would have to do something incredibly spectacular in order to become a superstar and a household name, dominating at 168 and even at 175 is not gonna be enough no matter how good he does.
Can you honestly say to me that in a few years he'll be able to sell 1mil+ PPV's and become a household name and a mainstream celebrity? That's pretty far fetched. And I support Ward myself.

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.
but to be fair, it's difficult to see any of these guys getting as big as mayweather or pacquiao unless, they somehow beat the man who beat the man (ODLH).

So to answer your question...NO I don't see Ward or anybody after Pacquiao or Mayweather doing that, not Alvarez not any of those up and coming fighters
it is going to be extremely hard for the next generation to reach that Mayweather/Pacquiao level...VERY HARD!
Hell no I don't see Ward doing 1 million PPV Buys...BUT I do think he can be a solid draw...again IF he wins the Super 6 then we shall see what happens after that, but winning that will help him A LOT just like it would help Froch if he winsLast edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 06-12-2011, 06:54 PM.
