    Jacobs vs Andrade is the most realistic possibility out of those contenders I reckon. Both are aligned to HBO and both are with promoters who can’t just make in house matchups. Charlo is meant to be fighting Hugo Centeno apparently

      It’s tough man, Canelo is the only guy who’s a bonafied mainstream star ATM.

      AJ obviously has potential. The AJ/Wilder winner could become a mega star IMO

      Crawford/Spence/Thurman all have potential if they get bigger fights/fight more often

      Loma and Mikey Garcia are the only other guys who I could see becoming mainstream

      It’s hard to predict though tbh who would’ve said Canelo would be the biggest star in boxing 8-10 years ago?
      Canelo, AJ, and maybe Loma.

      Crawford, Mikey, Spence don't know how (or don't want) to advertise themselves. They've done enough to warrant some attention, especially TC and Mikey, but nobody outside of boxing fans know them :/

      Spence - Mr I'm almost 30 and don't need a promoter - is hopeless. He couldn't sell water in the desert

      Nobody knows Thurman and Wilder bc both are hype jobs and have a poor approach to advertising.

      Canelo, AJ, Loma are best bets

        Neither Wilder or Thurman are hype jobs IMO, I can see why people would purport Wilder as a hype job due to his lack of quality opposition but the exact same could be claimed about AJ.
        Thurman on the other hand has a very solid resume; Garcia, Porter were very good wins and even guys like Guerrero, Collazo and Chaves are solid wins, far from a hype job from my perspective.

            Split decision against Danny Garcia is not "very good" by ANY standard.

            Also, a very good case can be made for Porter beating Thurman.

            Nothing "very good" about either "win". Dude is hype who benefited beating C or C+ fighters as a B- fighter himself XD

                  AJ is a bonafide STAR in UK, and probably to a lesser degree in mainland Europe.

                  AJ is making about as much as Canelo.

                  Neither are a true international star like a Mayweather, or Pacquiao.

                  I think Daniel Dubois, Michael Conlan, and maybe Lomachenko.

                    He clearly beat both Porter and Garcia, and I was betting against Thurman in those fights. Both good wins name a welterweight with better recent wins. There isn’t one. Garcia is far from a C level fighter, c’mon man, your just coming across very negative and bias saying stuff like that. He’s a 2 weight world champion FFS
