    Of these guys Khan, Juanma, Donaire, Alexander and Ward (not rios my bad) which 2 do you think have what it takes to become real stars strictly on skill nothing to do with marketing. You have to pick the 2 best talent wise that you think one day be P4P # 1 2

    JuanMa is already out of their class, IMO.

    if khan gets passed maidana & bradley/alexander, then im ranking him up there anyway, obviously not top 3, but i'd think there could be good argument for him being legitimate top 10 maybe even higher if he does

    if he beats maidana you can take the chin questions out the equation
    if he beats alaexander/bradley he'll have beaten another legitimate top 10/15 p4per in which he could have been the under dog

    the kids speed, jab, defence & power (i think its under rated) will cause anyone problems, a few more years with roach & he'll have a full arsenal like pacquaio

    Donaire, Ward

    So far, I think they are the best of the two anyway, with Lopez being close behind. Khan last on the list in terms of talent and one loss will kill how he is viewed, but he's in that talent rich division and Brits always overrate their fighters. Alexander, I don't see him beating Bradley, so I think that'll likely prevent him from ever vaulting into stardom.

    Juanma for sure has the tools to possible dominate the division. Donaire also could be great if he fought better opponents.

    Juanma's almost there already, Khan has the potential too, Donaire also could but he's far too content on doing nothing, Ward's a damn good fighter but I just don't think casual fans will warm up to him.

    Much as I hate to admit it.... Andre Ward's boring ass is the best outta all those guys.

    I doubt any of them ever become mainstream stars. Khan will be a star in the UK, and JuanMa in PR... but the rest of the world wont give a **** about them.

    Alexander, and Ward.... nobody will EVER give a **** about them in the U.S. outside of Oakland and St. Louis. Why? Because they're boring fighters with even more boring personalities.
