Who will be the 'Best' boxer of the New Generation?

I'll count Berto here as he only just arrived & is still developing.
& Paul Williams -- since he's a Young 27... and not on the downslide/on his way out of boxing in the next year or two (morelike 10 for this guy!)
& also Valero (if he keeps knocking fools out and ends up 44(43)-1: can we complain?), since he still hasn't really had a Marquee fight... + only turned 27 a while ago!

I won't add Juan Diaz as an option even though still only 25 (as I don't think anyone thinks it will be him at all!)... & similarly I won't add Bradley or Roman Martinez! Though I wonder if people will vote 'Other' just for them (Doubt it, but you never know!).



If Other, please specify...

 

I agree.


Errr, maybe I should've added a "Can't decide between JuanMa & Khan" option!

Cuz I'm struggling.

 

Pre-empting it, to counter-balance all the hate Khan will get... I will give Khan my vote instead of JuanMa!

 

btw, good poll, no?

 

As far as division-hopping. Khan & JuanMa have the best shot at being multi-weight champs.

Khan: 135, 140, 147. 154 very good possibility. 160 pushing it... depends on his development & how his chin holds up!

JuanMa: 122, 126, 130. 135 very real possibility.... as is 140. 147 if his speed doesn't suffer going up in weight & he continues on his current development path!

Victor Ortiz I can see winning at 140 & 147... 154 very realistic possibility.. but past that it depends on him holding his power well above welterweight.... and carrying it all the way up to middleweight like Tito did (though Tito had like 2-3 inches of height on Ortiz.. which meant he wasn't so badly exposed as a small, .mw!). Middleweight is one too far for him, though, I'd say!


Valero is a dark-horse. He could go on for the rest of his career knocking prettymuch everyone out... and is already a 130 & 135lb champ. You can bet your ass he'll win a title at 140 too...!

 

Can’t believe how people are overlooking him so easily.. but Donaire as well.
He's got an even better shot than Khan & JuanMa at flying through the weights picking up belts. Esp. with divisions being so close at his shallow-end of the pool! (112 champ right now, surely 115 + 118 + 122 in future, 126 & 130 very real possibilities... 135 & 140 pushing it!).. He could outdo Manny, as Manny skipped a few weight divisions once he began to eat well! If Donaire's smart & wants to build a grand legacy based on belts, he won't do that!
