    Who is capable to become the next US mega-star ?
    I mean recognized and popular like Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, RJJ, Mayweather...
    I have to mention three names : Crawford, Spence, Wilder.
    Too late for Ward ? Anyone else (Thurman, Porter, Broner) ?
    What do you expect ?

    I can't see anyone in the near future that comes close.
    Maybe popularity close to Floydweather, but without earning countless millions whoever he's fighting.

    Wilder, Spence, Charlo's, JoJo Diaz, Crawford ect... Dudes are in the perfect weight classes to make $$$ & get some attention.

    Only guys I can think of are Spence and Wilder. Although I think AJ is the next big thing overall.

    Wilder CAN but I think he'll get derailed aka KO'd. Spence or Crawford looks good to be stars.

    I mean - international recognition and popularity. Considering active boxers only, I think that very few would be widely recognized in my country (EE). If you imagine main street, Saturday, you can expect following fighters to be recognized (per cent) by walkers :
    Wlad - 95 %
    Fury - 30 %
    Haye - 15 %
    Wilder, Kovalev, GGG - 5 %
    The rest - under 5 %

    It is very sad, but true, believe me.
