Next Generation of Stars?

[pugilistprophet1994]

Following Trout's win, who do you think will lead the way of the next generation of stars? Who will be close behind?

[thuggery]

Mares
Canelo
Rios
Danny Garcia
Broner
Guerrero
Ward

If you're talking about PPV caliber stars probably Canelo and Broner.

Canelo
Trout
Rios
Danny Garcia
Broner
Guerrero
Ward

Also mares, Gambia (although he's up there in age.)

Name wise. Sad bunch of fighters. Only ward, broker, Gambia are going to become "stars".

The changing of the guard is here. Think of the guys that are done or are just about to be done in the next couple of fights.

Cotto is done
Mayweather only has two good fights in him at best and has no legs now
Manny only has one or two more fights left in him and is clearly on the downside
Marquez is close to finished, probably done if he beats Manny
Martinez is damn near 40 and won't have much left in him with his active style
Froch is getting up there in age
Wlad and Vitali won't fight for much longer (well, Wlad may be)
Hopkins is done
Hatton is reretired
Mosley is retired
Donaire is no spring chicken
Khan is already all but finished

The list goes on. The changing of the guard will be complete within a year or two. I'm worried though that we don't have stars to put asses in the seats that can also sell ppv. Ward is already the best fighter in the world, but he will never sell tickets. It's going to be interesting to see what the future holds and if anyone can step up to fill the void. Boxing will always make great fights, but it needs draws.

Hopkins is not done. He's gonna go on another run.
Maybe he'll be done after the 'NEW generation' is done.

I love B Hop man, but he is done.

I am not liking this generation of boxing at all...

Bradley
Alexander
Ward
Trout
Garcia (loud mouth dad)
Rios (loud mouth bum)
Broner (loud mouth wannabe)

I think I left some out that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Yeah I think the sport may have a rough couple of years. We need Broner to do business against the best at 140 and a guy like GGG to actually be the goods once he steps up. And Canelo...I think the kid is a punk, but if he turns out to be talented he may carry the sport for a few years. So basically I'm banking on a few things happening that I think are highly unlikely...Broner will delay moving up, GGG will turn into another King Arthur and Canelo will be a bum...(grumble, grumble...)
