Who Do You Think Are The Next Big Stars In Boxing For The Next 5-10 Years?

[msagrain]

I do like Haye as a matter fact if he beats mormack then a fight with enzo would be something,
just pissed that were struggling for young stars, we have a few just not as many as we should

wait for me to come thought in about 5 years lol

I thought that about myself about 15 years ago but one to many beatings changed all that, my pal has just turn pro and the age of 30 so at 32 I might have a chance, lol

At heavyweight, Povetkin, Arreola, Witherspoon, Chambers, Dimitrenko, Chagaev, and Boystov.

In other weight classes, Hatton, Kessler, Bute, Diaconu, Dawson, Pavlik, Hatton, Mayweather, Cotto, Juan Diaz, Molitor, Donaire, Khan, Salita, Froch, Maccarinelli and the list goes on.

Lots of exciting young fighters! The sport of boxing should become more popular during the next three years.

Argenis Mendez. Remember the name because by 2012 he'll have the industry on lock.

My only fear is that Dan Rafael is already in love with him and may attempt to claim him as his next love child. We saw how well that worked out for Joel Julio.

If Juan Diaz can survive what's in front of him in the next couple of years, he has the potential to be a major star for years to come. He has all of the right elements - fan friendly style, extremely accomodating in and out of the right, bilingual, articulate, and is finally adding power to his game.

Kelly Pavlik has the potential to be the Ray Mancini of our time. My fear with him, though, is that his style usually results in crash and burn. He'll be fun to watch, win lose or draw. I'm hoping it's far more winning than losing in years to come, starting with Taylor in September (assuming the fight doesn't get postponed , or cancelled altogether).

For different reasons, the Peterson brothers (Lamont and Anthony) will be major players wherever they decide to make a run. Lamont can box like a dream and Anthony is becoming a legit boxer-puncher before our very eyes.

And my own personal biased-ridden pick is 20-year old Ira Terry, who lives and trains about an hour or so outside of Memphis. He was a beast as a teenager in the amateurs, to where he won quite a few fights by forfeit, for the simple reason that others refused to step into the ring with him. He only lost 5 times in the ammys, one of which was a DQ for, get this, punching his opponent too hard. He's in the process of beginning to step it up as a pro, has already appeared on ESPN2 (last summer) and should secure more TV time by later this year or early 2008.
