Don't mean to rain on anyone's breaking out parade, but if GGG is going to be the face, he's gotta get to it. Manny was only 26years old when he was demolishing the likes of Barrera and Morales, and getting big attention at the lower weights. He was around 29 I believe when he faced Oscar and broke out as a star. GGG is what? 33 already? The dude don't got much time left to get moving. Your talking out of his prime imminent and has yet to take the mantel.

Right now, Canelo, chavez jr. and GGG all are more likely to fill the void when Floyd retires, same as manny did when Floyd retired the 1st time.

Chavez will get fights and get them on his terms since he is so popular. That is a huge advantage. The problems he has-laziness and bad habits out of ring-can easily be corrected.
It's a remote possibility, I agree.

I don't see these robotic Russians, feasting on losers, ever becoming the face of boxing. There is no personality there at all. "Good boy, tell your mom.." just doesn't cut it. What a ****** shhit is that anyway?
