Thurman, Ward, Spence, Crawford. Will any of these guys ever reach the status of Floyd, Manny, Canelo, De Lahoya, Tyson, Leonard, and Holyfield.
Will any of these guys be Superstars

I think Spence has the best chance of becoming a superstar out of those listed. I can see Crawford and Thurman becoming superstars too, I feel like Crawford should start moving up to welter soon within a year. -

I think its late for Ward to get big. Thurman has a chance cuz he's such a weirdo + can fight. Crawford seems too thuggish & doesn't seem to demand much which I believe you need to do as a fighter to get somewhere often times. Floyd was calling out Mosley & ODLH well before he was in range of them. And Manny was quieter, but he was moving up divisions all the time looking for bigger challenges til he got to the money division & become a huge star. Of the listed names I think Spence has the best chance, but what happens over the next 12-24 months will be key in him becoming a star or not.
Joshua probably has the best chance of anyone in boxing. He's already pretty f#cking big & stands to become bigger in the coming months & years if he can keep things rolling.
And I'd throw David Benavidez as a dark horse guy who can become a star. Guy is young, can fight, is fun to watch fight & is Mexican which is the backbone of boxing in the US.Comment

Spence and crawford have the potential...no matter how accomplished ward becomes, he just lacks the qualities to be a star. If joshua can unify the division...he's there.Comment

Boxing next big Superstar is already here:
But as for those guys I would say NO! Not because of their fighting style or any of that other BS that trolling idiots will say is why they won't be stars, more so because of the state of boxing in America at the moment. Boxing in America is probably lower that Hockey as far as overall interest in the sport and that is LOW! I don't think Canelo, GGG, Loma any of those guys will become Crossover Superstars or anything like that BUT they will still make Millions and be popular with hardcores. But as far as doing Mayweather and Pacquiao numbers? I think those days are gone for Boxing IN AMERICA!
However in the UK I think AJ will continue to pack them in and making MILLIONS and be more of a GLOBAL STAR!
Honestly, Gervonte Davis because he got Mayweather campaigning for him, he gets more attention now than a lot of these more talented fighters. If he continues to get better and keep knocking people out...I honestly do think he might have the best chance as crazy as that sounds! Everything Mayweather does garners attention from Casual Fans Like Him or Not! Anybody that is attached to him you will keep an eye on regardless if you're rooting against them or notLast edited by sicko; 06-04-2017, 12:19 AM.Comment

I think Spence would have the best shot, but I can't see any of them becoming superstars.
The reality is that there isn't a blueprint to become a superstar. You can be brash, You can be exciting, you can get knockouts, but that's not going to guarantee superstardom.
Currently the biggest is probably Anthony Joshua. You can make a strong case for Canelo in the US. Manny, although he's on his way out. That's it.Comment
