    Who will carry the sport?

    Now that the Careers of our Era's greats are coming to an end, who do you fee as the most likely to carry the sport?

    In this Era there has been 4 stand out fighters in my eyes. They are my fabulous four. Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquaio, Miguel Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez.

    There have been many more brilliant fighters in this Era including Paulie M, Chop Chop, Corales,Barrera, Morales, Taylor, Pavlik,Judah etc. But the four I've mentioned are a class above. The stuff of legends. So my question is, where are the next crop?

    Have they already turned Pro and are establishing themselves?

    Are they coming out of the Amateurs?

    Have they started boxing yet?

    Ill start by saying Terrence Crawford is one of the most talented fighters I've ever seen. Think he could go all the way. Has the right mentality to go with his skillset.

        Good list but Rigo is too old. And Canelo? Really? I don't think so. I love the way he fights but he's 5"7. I think when he fights a guy like Andrade he's gonna lose again.

              Rigo is old but has no miles on him. Plus with his style he could fight until he's Hopkin's age. He's just getting started imo.

              Canelo was a part of the biggest ppv in history. He hasn't even entered his prime. He's a superstar now. GBP will be smart in rebuilding him post-money.

              Also, if Mares can rebound from his loss, he could still be the future. Dude fights everyone and anyone.
