    Where's the next Great Fighter?

    So where is he? Have you guys seen any up and comers or prospects who might match the abilities of someone who may be a future ATG?

    I know there's a lot of top level fighters currently and some young guys too, who in their early to mid 20s have made some strides but no one is really blowing away top level opposition at a young age, where's the next young Tyson, Leonard, Ali, Oscar, Pacquiao...these guys were beating world level opponents before they even turned 25 and on most occasions made it look easy. They also became stars in the process but I can't see anyone currently to match that level of talent and skill.

    Danny Garcia looked tremendous and is still only 25 but his last fight and current opponent aren't exactly eye openers. Canelo looks very good but he has yet to decimate a top level 154 pounder. It's ab it frustrating that top divisional rankings or P4P top 10s are mostly dominated by fighters the wrong side of 30.

      I like Verdejo and Spence. Lomachenko too, he's already a champion.

        I quite like Crawford and Andrade as future stars
        but i don't see any of them as future greats such as Leonard or Tyson etc.

            Lomachenko, without a doubt. He's already on an ATG-pace to start his career. Obviously Its still early, but imagine if by his 5th/6th fights he gets and beats guys like Donaire and Walters. On top of him winning a championship belt in his 3rd fight and giving Salido hell in his 2nd fight

                  I don't really think Verdejo will be anywhere near what people are expecting, he has a very sloppy left hook that is begging to be countered and a leaky defence. Spence has a more ' pro' style but also has a leaky defence.
