    I really don't think there's gonna be any. Maybe Bradley, maybe. But I doubt he's going to be anywhere near as popular as Mosley and Mayweather.

    Warren does look special, although its hard to tell whether he will be star given how small he is, although he is only young, he will most probably fill out.

    Andre Ward has the classy personality, mental attitude/dedication to be a star.

    Shaun Porter will go far imo, although he might need to step down a division, although I would not read too much into his recent performances, he has fought some very awkward opponents, the kinda style match ups most people try their hardest to stay away from.

    High praise, but Porter reminds me a bit of a bigger version of Aaron Pryor

    I think he has the ability to do that maybe not at cruiser but at 175 i can see him do well.

    If he wins the super six and goes on to 175 and dominate i think it would be a pretty good career probably not as good a career as the guys you mentioned but other than him i dont see anyone out there who can come close to those guys cause like you said theres not much to choose from.

    i would love to see someone like ward do that, but i dont think his pop could carry him up....his boxing will, but then he'll lose a lot of popularity by only winning decisions.....

    Andre Ward and Bradley if he can stay at 140 without having to drain himself.

    Andre Ward is the truth and Warren does look good but it's too early to tell with him. Russell jr or whatever that guy who was on the Olympic team. Demetrius Andrade also looks good I would say Dawson but he has too many personal family problems going on at the moment.
