Who do you think will be the biggest stars in boxing when Wlad, Vitali, Floyd, Manny, JMM, and (maybe) Hopkins retire? Who will define this next generation? I think the future looks bright, with fighters like Usyk, Lomachenko, Golovkin, Ward, Kovalev, Wilder, and Ruiz Jr.
Despite the criticisms, Broner looks like he has the natural talent and skill to be dominant... IF he can keep his head on. Ward is a given to be who he is now: a hugely respected talent within boxing circles without much mainstream appeal.
the winner of garcia/matthysse will be a major player if they can get out of that fight without too much damage.
A lot of really good talents that should be good for both networks in the States, but aside from Canelo and potentially Broner if he keeps winning and then perhaps no Matthyssee, no PPV-level talents. Good for Showtime I guess but could be an issue for HBO though their overall stable or potential stable is fine.
