    It's gonna be Canelo plus some honarable mentions like Lopez, Ortiz, I think gamboa has the style but not yet the following.... also donaire.

    Gamboa is almost a certain superstar in the future.
    Ward (if he beats Froch, provided he beats Johnson)

    My wildcard choice would be Nathan Cleverly. Always comes to fight, exciting to watch. Willing to fight whoever is put in front of him. Has charisma and seems personable. Still only 24? I for one think he can clean up at Light-Heavyweight in the next 3 years.

    I agree with this. Gamboa and Donaire appear to be the most outstanding talents around right now in need of more public awareness. These are special and entertaining fighters.

    Canelo has the Mexican fan base to prop him up, if Canelo was from Dubai nobody would care

    Even Mexicans despise the cowardly cheating POS. His entire 5 strong deluded fan base post on here. He's the epitome of someone who's been forced down our throats

    You gotta love these predictions. It's often depending on so many factors that something that looked unlikely then, would make all the sense in the world now.

    Can you imagine if suddenly some Russian billionare decides to back Bivol in the future, doing big shows in the US and all over the world. With huge paydays for both Bivol and challengers, stacking the deck in his favor in every possible way, getting him to 40-0 in the process.
    Bivol the next boxing superstar, with 50M+ paydays.... It could happen. Very unlikely now, but it could.

    Thats inaccurate on many levels. How many Mexicans fighters are there that are not superstars?
    Nassem Hamed was huge in America and England and he was a flyweight who would recite the Muslim holy text before a fight.
    Golovkin has a legion of fans behind him. Even though they won't pay for his solo PPVs he has amassed a fortune since coming on the scene in 2013.
    You can't casually recite that someones culture or race is the ONLY measure of their success. If thats the case why are so many white guys in the U.S. boxing scene not stars? Why is Joshua, a Nigerian , filling stadiums in the UK and selling PPVs? Stop it already.
