    We're in the midst of the rise of many exceptionally talented boxers.. Loma, Crawford, Joshua to name a few.

    There is going to be a real battle for the P4P #1 rank over the next 5 years between many rising stars who are yet to hit their apex who have legitimately elite skills.

    Am I overrating the upcoming era and its potential or are we headed to very great places?

    Ward is starting to separate himself as a true great and has an opportunity to become a legend before his career is up.

    More of the same, roughly equivalent to any other era. We're just shaking off the last remnants of the previous one Pac, Mayweather, Marquez, Martinez, Hopkins, Klitschko and the new stars are rising in their wake.
