    Right now Canelo, Inoue, Usyk, and Bud are on the top but in 5 years those guys will be like 38, 35, 42, and 41 in that order. So who y'all think will be running the sport afterwards? Here are some guys and their ages in 5 years:

    Tank will be 34, Andy Cruz 33, David Benavidez 32, Boots Ennis 31, Teofimo Lopez 31, Shakur Stevenson 31, Junto Nakatani 31, Devin Haney 30, Bam Rodriguez 29, Curmel Moton 22

    Anyone else? Who do y’all think?

    That Moses Itauma guy looks legit. As long as he doesn’t do stupid things I think he will be champion.

    New guys who aren't yet world champions then; David Morell, Adam Azim, Diego Pacheco, Xander Zayas, Richardson Hitchins, Keyshawn Davis. Like to think someone like Dalton Smith too.

    William Zepeda will be 32 probably fighting at 140 Maybe even 147.

    Vergil Ortiz will be 30 probably fighting at MW.

    Diego Pacheco
    Abdullah Mason
    Floyd Schofield
    Elijah Garcia
    Andy Cruz

    Of the current non-belt holders, I think these guys could be multi-division champions.

    If boxing continues on this rapid decline, boxing will be too insignificant for anybody to care who the top guys are in 5 years. Honestly, the Saudi's are the only people taking meaningful steps to save boxing. If they change their minds and jump ship, boxing will be all but finished in the not too distant future.
