    There are a number of questions in this post.

    With Floyd, Pacman, And Wlad seemingly finished, fighters like Froch not having long left, who will be the new pound for pound king? Ward? Is there anyone fighting now who you think could go on to dominate the pound for pound like Floyd has for so long. Is there anyone who can demand huge figures for their fights and really put boxing back on the map.

    Just interested in people's thoughts. I am excited about a new era. I hope the heavyweight division can start to produce something.

    Ward, possibly if he would beat GGG, than Kovalev and Stevenson he would be P4P #1 for sure, but even with Kovalev and Stevenson win he would take that spot.

    youre giving the man 1 p4p spot for nothing.

    Too many possible candidates. Lomachenko, Kovalev, GGG(if he manages to score a big fight before he's 40), Ward(if he doesn't retire for 3 years after his next fight), Frampton, Crawford, Alvarez, Garcia, Matthysse, Broner(one loss isn't the end) and many more.

    Not those.

    + Rigondeaux

    Those will certainly be on p4p list. It's suprisingly hard to tell, who will be ahead among them.

    Why would you mention Froch when talking about p4p fighters?

    Wins over Pascal, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Taylor, Johnson, and Groves.

    Feel he belongs in the p4p list not to high though.

    Immediately: Ward, GGG, Rigondeaux.

    More down the line: Lomachenko, Thurman, Frampton.

    Way down the line: Anthony Joshua.

    Andre Ward is the man right now. He's second to Floyd while Floyd is active and then could hold the mantle if he keeps fighting.
