Which boxer(s) will be the face of boxing in the next 5-10 years? At the moment I think it's likely to be between: 1) Devin Haney - Skills, work ethic, and now seems to have the backing of one of the biggest names in boxing history, Floyd Mayweather 2) Teofimo Lopez - legit KO power and I think his style/personality will draw crowds 3) Shakur Stevenson - Olympic Silver medallist, lots of skill, power seems to be improving as he gains "man strength"...slight downfall, activities outside of the ring but hopefully aligning himself with Terence Crawford will help set him straight. 4) Ryan Garcia - Massive following on social media and will appeal to the Mexican boxing fans. Fast hands, KO power, backing of Golden Boy and Team Canelo. 5) someone else...could be the next crop of amateur superstars. If Andy Cruz turns pro, I reckon he could be big. Or the McCormack twins (Pat and Luke) What do you guys think?
These guys are so prospect level at the moment that it's just impossible to say. But I'd go with Haney (because he's like 5' 10") or Lopez (the most proven).
None of them because they’re all lower weights. Who knows, if one of the HW prospects come good like Dubois he could be the next AJ. Not that he’s got the personality for it, that’s why Fury is no1 right now because he’s the best talker in the game as well.
The weight thing is true but they are all still quite young so could potentially move up the weights. Dubois is definitely another one I think. Think he'll have to become a lot more engaging though
Ryan Garcia will be the only one from these who will be almost without competition in his division(it can change when Lomachenko will go down some can decide to go up from super feather .Lopez and Haney are going to 140, where it wouldn't be easy for them.
Think Dubois still needs a real test before we can start the trumpet's but expecting Joyce to push him much harder than he's had it so far. Dubois does seem like he's got a great engine loves a scrap and he's young only gonna get better Proper wild card on this one but was looking through uk prospect's on utube the other day and did think Willy Hutchinson looks like a tidy fighter. Not saying he's going to dominate the world but worthy of keeping an eye on
Who will be the next big thing in boxing? Hrgovic. He's stands 6'6" tall. He can box, punch and take a punch. His pressing style should please fans.
Hard to say how weight bullies like Haney, Teofimo, Stevenson and Garcia will fare when they inevitably move up in weight and start facing opponents closer to their own size. I think they have the skills and talent to fare well but you never know.
This is a thread destined to age badly due to lack of worldwide spectrum (only US boxers mentioned), although I expect Garcia to at least be among the big names a couple of years from now.
I say that there is not one single fighter right now that can be a global superstar in boxing, nobody has the whole package.
This could he true. However, most (not all) boxing stars seem to box out of the US. Even Joshua isn't a massive star over there yet.
I agree with this. I really do think the McCormack twins have potential though. Two very skillful boxers and the twins thing should be a selling point. Current pros...not sure if anyone has the full package. Maybe the future of boxing will consist of at least 4 top names?
Tyson Fury will dominate for the next 10 years He will outlast all the men you just listed Tyson Fury is the past, now and future of boxing None of these little men want to fight anyone anyway.
Do you think he’ll do 10 more ? If like you say, nobody wants to fight him, he’ll get fed up. He won’t hang around, he has a beautiful family, plenty of money & his health back. I reckon he has 3, maybe 4 fights left : Wilder, Joshua x 2 & maybe Usyk. Looking forward, Hrgovic seems to be highly touted as a future star. Be interesting to see how he does.
