    Who knows how long Floyd/Manny will be around, but whos going to be the next king?

    I think the top10 P4P will consist of these fighters (in no order)

    Andre Ward - will prob win the super 6

    Williams - already doing P4P type performances

    Chad Dawson - looks dominant at 175, may fight the winner of super 6

    Gamboa or Lopez - 2 bad asses at 126

    Rigondeaux - amazing skill

    1 from - Tim Bradley, Amir Khan, Alexander unification - I'd pick Alexander

    Bernard Hopkins - jus kidding

    I think at least one of them will stick around for a while and hold the spot. I then think it will be all over the place for a while after.

    Well Chad Dawson is already one of the best fighters in the world, as in right up there, just needs more high profile fights.

    This may well be true, not sure if Pac wants to stay around that long, or Mayweather. But if they do maybe 1 will turn old by a young upstart like Alexander/Khan/Bradley. Young fast high paced talented fighters like these will be dangerous to any ageing champion. I certainly see Pac failing as he ages as hes very physically reliant with flaws in his technique

    BTW lads I know this isnt classic, I meant to post it in the General, but oh well

    I swear it was an accident :lol: Interesting to see Classic fans perspectives and predictive abilities, needs bumping in 2-3years this 1.

    I suppose the interesting Qs are:

    Who'll come out top in 140lb unification: Khan, Bradley, Alexander

    Who'll come out top in 126lb unification: JuanMa, Gamboa

    Who'll win the Super 6

    Nothing too interesting for Williams or Dawson, maybe Mayweather will challenger Williams for the MW title once he releaves Pavlik of it and the Super6 winner will fight bad Chad. Or how about Chad Dawson HW champ :lol:

    I don't rate Gamboa too highly personally, he reminds me of young Mosley very much. I'm jsut scoring Kessler-Froch now btw.

    Not completely a bad thing, I think Gamboa is a better puncher, Chris John maybe a tricky fight for him

    Is Kessler-Froch on the tube now?

    I had Kessler-Froch 115-113.

    I think John is ready to go, I think Gamboa is the man to do it.

    It is, just type in Froch vs Kessler part 1 and it pops up.

    I've gt Gamboa over John as well. I reckon Caballero or Lopez might do him though.

    Bad Chad Dawson. I think he will add a crusierweight and heavyweight championship to his resume by the time Mayweather and Pacquiao retire.

    I don't think he has the natural size or physical strength or chin to take HW punches.

    Probably none of them. If it is than either Dawson or Williams. But I bet there will be someone who surprises us all.

    I think absolutely not Paul Williams. He's far too face first. I like but I just don't see the p4p potential so many see in him. I think he's got the potential to burn out fast. Alexander is a guy I can easily see moving to welterweight and being a top guy there too. I do think he might be the best total package of the stacked 140-pound division. He's got great potential. I have a feeling Rigo is going to be one of those awesome fighters who ends up having a career of poor unfavorable circumstances. Just a feeling. My hopes for Andre Ward are higher than maybe he's proven but I could see him really being a long reigning champion/winner of the tourney and therefore should be a top ten p4p. Dawson is the uncrowned 175 champion, imo. But he doesn't fight enough! I believe Lopez has the potential to be a champion in a few more weight classes even and will be in the p4p conversation for years. I'm rambling so, end comment. What was the question again? Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (all-purpose answer).
