    Personality and talent go hand in hand in becoming a box office star. And it's hard to see one of the British contenders around now having both of those qualities to break out. Fury may have the big personality but he doesn't have the necessary talent to rule his division. Frampton looks very talented but, despite coming across really well, he doesn't make the headlines others do. Brook likewise come across as rather dull and I'm still to be convinced as to how far he can go.

    It might be that it will have to be one of those newly turned pros (Yafai maybe), or 2012Olympians like Joshua, to become that next big star. You can't say for sure how far they can go so it's unfair to burden them with pressure but I'd imagine if there's going to be one at all, it will come from that group
     
  2. Frampton, Fury & Yafai have what it takes to become big box office stars.

    Brook doesn't imo. He's rather dull and i think his skillset has been vastly overestimated he wont beat Alexander or any of the other elite Welters

    :deal

    I think our most promising youngsters are the Selby brothers and Yafai but none of them ooze star quality from a media perspective. Agogo is the opposite in that he has all the hoopla but probably gonna be pretty fragile in the pros.

    Joshua??

    Brook could be. Also Tyson Fury.

    Probably Fury if he wins a world title

    If he turns pro Andrew Selby could be in with a shout somewhere in the future

    I voted Frampton. He's young, exciting and comes across as a very nice guy too. Also, Groves for the same reason plus there are a lot of good opponents for him and, Groves vs Froch and Groves vs Degale II would both be money fights.

    In terms of a regular run on Sky Box Office, if Brook were to beat Alexander he could find himself in with a shot to fight Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley and Mayweather purley because they have a lack of opponents to face. I could genuinley see the Mayweather fight happening because Mayweather saw the kind of money Hatton got for there fight from Sky and he will want a piece of that pie.

    Sorry but to me Brook has very few ingredients to be Box Office beside being in a good division. For me Price still has the best chance if he is matched well.

    box office is as much about personality and no-one is showing much at the moment, except fury but hes a bit too mental and individual to be warmed to by the wider public i think. but i think hes quality

    i really fail to see how yafais personality equals a big star. at the moment he seems quite reserved
