Looking for the Next Oscar

First and foremost Oscar is probably the richest boxer ever. He is a product that sells itself. He is charismatic, a quality fighter, well mannered, hard working, and intelligient. The only other modern fighters with the mass appeal that Oscar has has throughout his career is Sugar Ray Leonard. PBF wishes he had the appeal that Oscar has. Pac is a very good fighter however due to circumstances beyond his control I dont think Pac will ever eclipse the accomplishments Oscar had made outside the ring. As far as better goes...better is not always marketable. Look at Paul Williams no one wants to fight him because he is so good.

Returning to the question? The next Oscar is named Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. He is a mix of Miguel Canto, Salvador Sanchez, and Juan Manuel Marquez.

 

there won't be another de la hoya, unless boxing returns to regular TV and young fighters are built up on it, which won't happen anytime soon, oscar was the last of the olympic to network tv exposure
