      This^^^^^

      Could also throw in canelo..



      Darkhorse being Anthony Joshua, he def has the looks, if he can dominate, he could be the biggest star in boxing by 2020

              Pac was the face of boxing for a long time. Even Hollywood lined up to see him. He was a positive force at a time boxing was being touted as a dying sport. He single handedly kept boxing in the news.

              Canelo will never achieve it because he already lost convincingly to Floyd. GGG? He's really boring. He has a mechanical style not really appealing to the casual fan. Hopkins may well be the next face of boxing if he wins against Kovalev and if he wins after that against a really credible name.

                This needs to stop. The man (GGG), is 31 years old and hasn't fought at an elite level. He's being treated as if he's in his early 20's coming up. People can say everyone is ducking him and what not but Golovkin hasn't made an effort to find matches above his division. Other fighters have moved up one weight class to create opportunity for a big fight. Golovkin is supposed to be this big puncher, but I'm starting to doubt how well he would carry his power at super middle weight when his people won't even fight a contender in the 168 pound division.

                  I think he can as long as his team gets him the fights he wants. I don't think he should fight anybody at 168, I think I would like to see him fight Murray first then maybe Quillin after that he can also fight the winner of Canelo vs Cotto at 160 also.

                  He has the style to carry the torch like many others have, like Tyson, Chavez, Jones Jr, Hoya, Trinidad, Pac & Mayweather.

                    what does that mean for the future of boxing??

                    Wachugot?
                    no because eventually he would have to fight ward
