    I am more excited for Canelo-GGG than Canelo-Cotto to be honest. They're both great fights but after seeing Canelo and Golovkin on back-to-back weekends in exciting brawls, it's impossible to picture them in a bad fight together.

      We got...

      Ward

      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.
      Dirrell and Khan? Are you serious?

      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 lol

          He's a HW, charismatic, packs a big punch, and if he can beat Klitschko he'll gain legitimacy.

          Others Broner and Thurman


          GGG, Canelo, Crawford, etc dont have cross over potential.
          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 plateau

                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 career

                  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.

                    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 2c
