    Simply there is no one able to carry the torch. Everybody knows about it.

    Yeah, just like when Ali retired, then when the fab 4 retired, then when Tyson retired, then when RJJ/DLH retired, and now when Manny/May.

    There's Duran to carry the flame when Ali retires.
    I tell you, boxing will struggle. It may take sometime before we find a legend worthy of p4p top 100 of all-time and superstar status

    You may be right. But since boxing has started having fights on NBC I hear the ratings have been great. I see boxing starting to make a comeback in the USA. But time will tell.

    What the OP meant was that boxing will die for FLoyd and Pac fans when they retire.

    Lomachenko, Kovalev, and Golovkin are all getting great traction; although, Lomachenko to a lesser extent. I'm not sure if he's at the level he should be with Arum pushing him very hard on the fans. I'm not sure if he'll be any popular at this rate.
