Dirrell and Khan? Are you serious?We got so much young talent in boxing today but WHO can be the next cross over star?
We got...
Ward
GGG
Dirrell
Khan
Garcia
Crawford
Broner
Wilder, etc.
Who do you see being the next star? I actually like Crawford, he has a good fan base back home, is a likable guy and a guy that I feel can cross over to more demographics than the other young champions today.
I think GGG could have been a huge star if he didn't have half a career of meaningless fights and went a bit more the direction of Lomachenko. But soon Ward will beat him in the ugliest fight ever. It will be like a noble stallion breaking it's leg on a mouldy old horrible , yet skillful, fence post on the final jump of the grand national hahaha
Crawford is in with a good shout probably the best shout.
If Wilder waits for Klitschko to get old and snatches the real heavyweight championship form him he will be a star but also it will be a disgrace lolComment

Errol Spence JrThe biggest problem I see Haymon having is a lack of elite talent outside of Mayweather. After Floyd his best fighter may be Amir Khan. He has Wilder who has a lot of star power in theory, he's got Keith Thurman who seems to get better with every fight, but he's missing a guy like Crawford who you can tell is on his way to bigger things.Comment

Broner is to offensive to have cross over potential like that. There's already footage online of him going down on strippers and telling Jay Z and Rihanna they can suck his d!ck. He put the nail in his own coffin; I honestly believe that Broner has hit a plateauComment

I hope boxing has Learned to spread the wealth around I think 2 guys taking most of the pie was bad for boxing they created this mega fight only to have a dud of a fight. Boxing should have been focusing on others it's the media fault for creating this crap of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao . A GGG or Kovalev fights pack more action than Floyd's entire careerComment

I don't think we'll see another "attraction" like Mayweather or even Pacquiao for at least a decade. I think fans are just so desensitized by the kind of numbers Pac and Mayweather do that the goal is just so unattainable. I don't see any current fighter breaking 1 million ppv buys without another star dance partner, and that's not a shot at them. I think Canelo will hold the torch for a while but still I don't see him getting to a point where selling 800k ppvs will be viewed as failure, which it isnt, unless you're Mayweather. Don't get me wrong, I've never been more pumped for the future of boxing, I just think current guys will be able to crossover into the mainstream like Mayweather and Pacquiao have.Comment

the main thing that's going to keep ward from superstardom is his unwillingness to play villain but he'll have a great legacy I think. loma is the goods too. GGG will have to avoid ward to get his success going, my 2cComment
