Nobody at the moment looks likely to take over. AJ and Fury will be gone too Tank seems like the biggest name I can think of King Ry not far behind Neither seem like coming close to Canelo anytime soon. Who do we have?
I don't even think he is the money man any more. The boxing world is obsessed with Saudi and he's not on the bus.
turki will be like the dana white of boxing. No individual boxer will have power like the canelos and floyds of boxing. They will all be forced to fight each other.
Tank & Ryan it’s no mystery that Tank & Canelo don’t need Turki - which is why they choose not to work with him because they are running they’re own thing / don’t need help or terms dictated to them They pass / no thanks - gotta respect it. We should all be so lucky as to have that good fortune. Ryan may need Turki depending how long his ban is in effect.
AJ and Fury is correct but they will be gone soon. Ryan and Tank only average 100K PPV's at best that ain't no star. They are moderate stars in the sport but not on the level of De La Hoya and Tyson
Crazy to think Canelo, AJ, Fury, Wilder, Loma, Usyk, Crawford will all be gone in the next 3-4 years. If it happened tomorrow then obviously its Tank and Ryan. But 3-4 years from now its harder to say. Guys like Boots, Haney, Teo, Shakur will still be around too, Moton will be more matured and experienced, Zayas will be close to entering his prime etc etc. In other words, I wouldnt worry too much about the future, something new always pops up to capture peoples attention sooner or later.
Tank would have to move up to 147 or 154 to get big money fights, hes popular but hes no cash cow, same with ryan.
Gervonta Davis. I would say Ryan as well but he’s too mentally unstable. If he actually applied himself he would be the face of boxing within the next 5 years, but he’s a mentally unwell alcoholic, there’s no telling where’s he gonna be by the time Canelo/Fury/AJ retire.
I had, of course, heard all kinds of people talk about Ryan’s purported mental instability, but I hadn’t actually gone and looked at any of his recent social media activity until about a week or so ago. And wow, I was alarmed by what I saw; I figured people might be exaggerating a little bit, but it was much worse than I expected. It is one thing to have religious views to where you believe homosexuality is a sin, but to be openly wishing death on entire groups of people is just wild. And I really don’t like how he constantly tries to shove religion down everyone’s throats and uses it as an excuse for all his outrageous posts. And then sometimes he’ll go back and apologize for something he posted, only to basically go and say the exact same thing the next day. I’m definitely concerned for the guy. His manager / handlers should really try to get him off social media for a while. I hope he’s able to get things sorted out.
sounds a lot like Margerie Taylor Green…. Except the apologies. usually , the ones waving religion around & claiming contradictory moral high grounds are the ones guilty of / capable of committing the most heinous crap…. Allegedly… imo.
I don't think it's that simple. The allure of fighting Tank or Canelo is a payday. And to get a payday someone has to pay. If all the other fighters are fighting for Turki who will Wahid and Canelo fight? And will they be able to secure a high enough profile fight to justify the pay? Saudis are taking over and Wahid and Canelo need to get on the bus.
