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?
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

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.

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.
