    Canelo for sure

    GGG has all the traits of someone that will but i think he is to old to really spend alot of time at the top in the limelight

    Fury is in no way Vunerable :patsch

    And stars should be created from talent not how American and black they are:twisted:

    How many of boxing's real superstars do you know of that weren't from the Americas? And how many of them weren't back or Latino? Manny Pac is already an exception and he was spectacular and kept on winning in a division full of highly rated boxers and stars.

    Even the great Lennox Lewis never made it to supers****om. And he beat a (faded ok) superstar as well as an ATG.
    It has to be someone with special talent who keeps on winning spectacularly or one of the US continent guys that just keeps winning.

    Anthony Joshua from that list

    Fury has the skills and personality but america may not take him in their hearts.

    Boxings first superstar was Irish actually

    Then came Jack Johnson who was more of a popular hate figure

    Then came Dempsey another irish-American

    Then we got joe Louis the first real black American boxing superstar (ww2 helped him a lot in gaining that s****om)

    Anyway....

    In The future hopefully s****om is based on talent not race

    I really hope so because it has been for as long as I live. But then there's that pesky problem for a guy like Fury, wich half of boxing's fans don't even take seriously (a lot more seriously as that Raymi caracter though), and has that problem of being a sucker for that overhand right, and has hardly any experience against tall/big/hardpunching fighters wich is a bad sign.

    Fury will never be a superstar. He simply isn't good enough and will be exposed in his next fight. In terms of crossover appeal he is hugely disliked in his own city let alone anywhere else. The guy is a pr***
