    Errol Spence can grown up a lot in popularity if he can put on some great performances most of the time

    I don't know anybody who knows who Demetrius Andrade is.
    It's difficult to say that he is unpopular. Literally, he is unknown.

    Agreed. Really good fighter with a lot of talent. But He hasn't fought enough for a young fighter and hasn't fought anyone that good yet.

    There is nobody in boxing currently that will make it to a global stage like Tyson, Ali, Pacquiao and Mayweather did.

    It has to be an american that knocks people out, well spoken and isn't a savage outside the ring. A post-Douglas Tyson wouldn't do well today, so acting like an uneducated fool wouldn't help.

    OK....Bud will likely outpoint or late stop Postol, and in that regard, he'll have the best resume at 140, but he, like Postol are both HBO manufactured fighters.

    This fight is worthless in my eyes, as the JWW division is dead in my eyes.
    Broner is <<< that both those guys and Haymon will unleash him on the winner and Adrien is back to his about billions mantra:rofl

    The 3 fighters I would choose are Spence, Lubin, and Andrade.

    One of these 3 are gonna take over for GGG in about 18 months, and with the LMW and MW divisions looking super hot together, there's gonna be plenty of big name fights being made, especially if Haymon can hang on with the PBC and make some concessions irt network. :think

    He's classy, educated, and delivers.

    While I think he'd be a fool to wait 2 yrs to get GGG since Golovkin will likely move up the minute he fights the Khurtsizde BJS winner, I do agree that he will be one of 3-5 top name MWs to run the show upon GGGs exit N to 168. :good

    I have to emphasize - now, he is not recognized widely outside the USA. If he is capable to beat Cotto (for the beginning), than Canelo and GGG - the sky will be his limit. Frankly, I am doubtful, but want him all the best .
