    That's part of the reason why he could be the next superstar. He's going to most likely win big or lose big, you're near guaranteed excitement. The fact that he's fought his way to mandatory position and got his shot the old fashioned way in such a small number of fights is a positive thing too. He may be green, but at least he's willing to test himself and risk losing rather than playing it safe for a long time as has been the case for a lot of British fighters.

    There's a reason Frank Warren doesn't like Haye and I suspect it's because he's showing people that you don't have to go the 'Warren way' to become a succesful fighter over here. I hope more people follow his lead to be honest.

    None of these fighters mentioned have the personality or charisma to transcend the Sport like Ali,Tyson etc .They are all potential superstars but i dont think they have the qualities to become household names among non-boxing fans

    Cotto
    Dawson..I think he easily has the talent and skill to become a ATG and can dominate that divison for a long time
    Jorge Linares..I only saw his fight against Larios but ****!! he's only 21 with less than 25 fights, has been fighting exclusively in Tokyo and totally DESTROYED Larios. He should be taken serious, very, very very serious.

    I think Sam Peter has a chance of being the next star on the heavywieght division especially if he can win against Maskaev and then beat Wlad or Vitali.
