    alright, just curious myself......and nah, i'm not into that patriotic bull****, but regardless america pretty much has the best crop of boxers out of any country, so what boxer(s) do you see being the future of the sport?

    not speaking resume or achievements, just pure talent/potential wise....

    BTW...i picked Berto

    PW, Jacobs..

    The lower weight classes have some great prospects.
    Rau'shee Warren will be to look for in the years to come.
    Andrade aswell.

    i clcicked other as i think it could be someone who takes us all by surprise.

    i dont however think it will be Chad Dawson, he is a quality operator and truly world class, but not the p4p ppv star i think the US needs right now. Pavlik, Taylor, Dawson all have weaknesses, i see good fights here but no super stars.

    I picked other. I think that everyone is writing pavlik off a little too early. I just do not think that was the real Pavlik against Hopkins.

    If managed and trained well Dawson can become a star.

    I pick the Punisher Paul Williams. I really don't think there is anyone at WW that can beat him (Quintana was a fluke) now that PBF is gone. I could also see him ruling at 154 as well.

    Kelly Pavlik has the best shot; far better than anyone on that list. One loss against a living legend does not a bum make. Paul Williams also has a shot to be a big star. Maybe Dawson, but I think he just doesn't have the charisma. Other than that I just don't see any of the guys on that list as being Oscar-worthy superstars.
