How come non of them seem to be properly fulfilling their talents, all the top young guns in the sport like Khan, Ortiz, Odlanier Solis etc. How come all the top fighters seem to be falling short of their potential, wheres the next Hopkins, Mayweather, Pacquaio? The only prospect today that looks to possibly become elite/cross-over Is Canelo and Haye, Haye already blew his shot at global superstardom, the whole sport as far as the top lebel goes, now seems to be resting on Canelo's 22year old shoulders

Steady stream coming through on this side of the pond but i know what you are saying...
I think if Canelo and Broner reach potential then theyre two ppv stars right there... Then with one or two lesser ppv stars we have the same situation we are in now with Pac-May being big stars and then just below Cotto, Marquez and the like.
Boxing will be fine as it always is.

There are so many good young fighters right now, and the only two you like are Alvarez, who has proven nothing, and Haye, who isn't young?

Haye is a prospect? LOL have you heard of Andre Ward? Timothy Bradley? Abner Mares? Adrien Broner? Andre Dirrell?

Hogwash. The pipeline has in addition to Canelo... Nonito, Ward, Broener, Guerrero and there are still other young fighters with potential. No star is bigger than the sport.
