    Default Who is the next boxing superstar?

    After watching floyd tonight and with only a year left of fighting I am starting to wonder who is the next superstar that will stand out from the crowd..

    Who would you put say has all the credentials to keep it going.

    If he even steps up in competition and proves himself to be legitimate, I think it could be Deontay Wilder.

    GGG could be if he would give up the soft seat of middleweight.

    Looking for a superstar is much like looking for something you "lost" and always ask about location......stop looking, let it rise and be noticed on his own merit! There are 101 elements we put in a star now. Just let em prove they can fight loud, talk less

    Edit: Its sure as fook not Wilder.

    Great post and there are so many road blocks these days and monopolies etc. I often wonder how many legit greats get or have gotten lost in the shuffle.

    Boxing has too much manufacturing today. Its all about marketing..of course, but we lose the opportunity in discovering hidden gems and some talents by assuming and not asking for the full menu.

    Whoever the powers that be want it to be - basically whoever would make them the most money. Doesn't even have to be the most outstanding talent but just someone people will pay to see over and over again

    The three with the biggest potential are Canelo, Keith Thurman and GGG. All three need career-defining wins.

    An outside choice but if Eubank Jr keeps winning he has all the ingredients to be massive and in a weight range with plenty of name opponents.

    We are looking for a future superstar. So someone who will emerge 2016? When Floyd has left.

    Golovkin wont be it. Hes not a big crowd puller now and has held a Belt since 2010!

    It might be Keith Thurman or maybe a fighter we don't know or haven't heard much of yet.

    Hmm, Eubank Jr is getting his chance to become a national superstar now against Saunders. Just like his old man v Benn, he didnt have any name opponents and battered Benn. This is the start of a special fighter.

    Eubank jr is one on the up if he can put up his power.
