    Obviously Oscar and Floyd can shift a lot of units, but who's next? Manny and perhaps Cotto are all I can think of with any chance. Any one I'm missing?

    Manny Pacquiao
    Arthur Abraham
    Wladimir Klitschko
    David Haye
    Paul Williams
    Mikkel Kessler
    Ricky Hatton

    All those guys have a great chance, I'm sure more can be added too.

    Maybe I should be more specific. I'm thinking of fighters who would sell 700/800 (in America) whilst being the main attraction. I don't see Art and Kessler ever fulfilling that role.

    How would Hatton against JMM do people?

    That would sell huge. JMM is finally getting acceptance from the mexican crowd and Hatton is also well known due to the PBF fight and his huge English following.
    I also think this fight would be a very good one.

    JMM by late round TKO.

    Pac, Cotto, Pavlik, and Margarito have got to be on the top of the list. If Gamboa keeps winning I like his chances. I Also like PTP's chances if he can ever get quality opposition to get in the ring with him.

    Other possibilities:
    Angulo (will have a good stage when he fights Mayorga to elevate himself)
    Kirkland (if he learns the art of defense to match his potent offensive attack)
    Khan (If he develops a sound defense the sky's the limit in terms of PPV$)
    Berto (If he continues his gradual development the sky's the limit as well)
    Sergio Martinez (just needs more exposure and quality opposition)

    I could see Haye doing well as people are clamoring for an entertaining and talented heavyweight to dethrone the robotic Wlad.
    Pavlik if he goes back down to middleweight and destroys Sturm or Abraham.
    Pacman is an obvious chose because of his style.
    Whomever comes out on top at 168 over the next couple years... Kessler or Dawson are the likely candidates there.
    I could see some people picking Gamboa, but I think he gets ktfo sometime shortly after stepping up the competition do to leaving his hands down.

    Noone has charismatic persoonality or looks that could attract housewifes or young girls.
    So nobody will be.

    The next big thing could be out there unheralded right now, just waiting to hit the big time.
