    First ever thread, so cut me some slack:yep

    By the question I mean next 3-4 years dominate the sky box office scene and most likely have 3-5 fights on their in 4 years.

    Imo Kell Brook. He may be a protected fighter but he still has unbelievable talent and now he's entering the big leagues where he will start to face top5 contenders which Imo if he wins that IBF title will happen. He will win against devon i just have the sneaky feeling he will which if he does would be a massive springboard for him. It will also lead to brook vs khan. Which WHEN he wins that he will defo propel to the top as britains hot property which will lead to box office fights against top welterweight fighters and unification fights in the next 3-4 years.

    Possibly Kal Yafai if he becomes as good as we all think he can be. I see a new Naseem Hamed there, in terms of ability and personality. Once he starts challenging for titles the media will be all over him.

    Frampton and Brook lack the personality to be big box office stars. Khan's as big as he's going to get. Fury if he times his shot at the title right is probably the most likely.

    Fury or Price just based on the division they are in. I think Frampton has the potential to be very popular but maybe not a PPV star.

    I don't think he's anywhere near as good as Nas he could prove me wrong though.

    Tyson Fury is a noob at times but he's got the confidence and personality to be a huge star he just has to back up his words in the ring.

    Easier said than done.

    This is quite a tough question, although we have some really good prospects none of them are stand out stars, maybe Fury or possibly Groves, Fury because his personality will sell tickets and can see him picking up a ABC title and Groves because he could end up in some really good fights.
