    Canelo - because he's a huge draw.

    Ward - because he'll be considered #1 P4P if he stays undefeated once Floyd is gone.

    Broner - because of his controversial antics & personality.

    Bradley - because he's a top 10 P4P fighter, and could be put in the top 3 if he beats Marquez.

    Thurman - because he's one of the biggest prospects in the sport today.

    Rigondeuax - because of his extraordinary boxing ability.

    Donaire - because of his year round drug testing & being a hit draw for HBO.

    Danny Garcia - because he's always considered the underdog but always comes out on top. And being the legit #1 guy at 140 after beating Matthysse.

    Golovkin - draws big ratings for HBO.

      It's gonna have to be a very good fighter who is very charismatic and can catch the fans attention with their personality or some other attractive characteristic.

      Canelo is the only fighter who comes to mind.

      Broner isn't very good. He talks a lot and can ****, but he isn't very good. I had him fighting to a draw against Malignaggi, many people had him losing to Ponce De Leon, and Quintero. He may beat Maidana, but that will not tell me anything. I'd lke to see Broner against guys like Thurman, Alexander, Garcia, Guerrero, Bradley, who BTW I think ALL 5 of them beat Broner.

      Maybe I end up being wrong and Broner does show he's more special than the fighter I saw against Malignaggi. But as of right now, i'm not impressed, AT ALL.

      I wish Andre Ward could carry the sport, but he's in a weight class that is just not popular and will never be popular with the mainstream public. Now that Chavez Jr is up there, maybe Ward can capitalize on Chavez Jr's name.

      Canelo has it good, he's surrounded by Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao, Martinez, Marquez, Broner and because of his fanbase, fighting style, great promoters and charisma he is always one tune up away from a big title fight.
