    Lets hear some candidates. Virgil Ortiz Jr. is one to keep both eyes on. But for me its Jarron Boots Ennis

    Usyk is truly going to be the breakout star after he wins the belts at HW. And in the fashion he’ll do it too.

    • Edgar Berlanga if he keeps the 1st round consecutive KO streak (Gaining Elite credentials)
    • Naoya Inoue if he can KO Luis Nery (Gaining ATG credentials & more popular support)

    Not sure you can really mention the likes of Usyk, Haney and Inoue on here when there already well known world champions...

    In terms of British boxing, I think Joshua Buatsi is the next superstar we have on our hands. The lad has it all.

    Breakout star could mean a fast jump from prospect to top P4P or from current P4P to possible ATG. These days its harder for the established boxers to breakout due to the slower schedules & safety-first promoters.

    When Don King wanted a Breakout, Breakouts happened. Boxers get thrown under the bus in the process, but the breakout happens & fans got the big drama...

    He was 208 on fight night against Hunter years ago. You think he slowed down by maybe gaining 7 lbs?

    Let's say Usyk was 218 on fight night. Could a fighting weight that is 10lbs over his heaviest-ever make him slower?

    I say yes - it could.

    And in Parker he will be fighting a fast 250-pound behemoth

    Daniel Dubois.

    He will be the best heavyweight in the world sooner than later.

    I think Josh Taylor still, he unifies all the belts at 140 around summer and then moves up and takes on Terrence Crawford (or more likely Amir Imam now they're a part of TopRank).

    Daniel Dubois could have a breakout year at HW world level but fish eyed Frank moves fighters at a slow pace.

    If those are the rules then Josh Taylor as long as he makes the right decisions.
