    I think Loma still has enough time and opposition available.

    Big difference between boxing legend and crossover star. The same things have been written since the dawn of time about every era. Next Tyson? Oscar? Now Floyd? And that's just the past 20 years.

    Roy has never been a crossover star, Hagler wasn't recognised until the very end of his career. Remember Floyd was the b-side to Gatti let alone Oscar, it's only the final third of his career that he became crossover (roughly 10 years).

    New boxing stars always pop up. Who knew Golovkin 5 years ago? And he's only now having his first "crossover" fight. There's plenty of young fighters a few spectacular breakout wins away from jumping up the ladder. As well as ability you need the right opponents, personality and luck.

    Joshua is already crossover (in Britain and worldwide boxing fans) but if he starts cracking Vegas he'll quickly break all Floyd's records (being a heavyweight and all). To have HBO and Showtime competing for him already says it all.

    It's a long shot, but I would like to see Ward against GGG. That would certainly help his status. It would be a Pac weight jump kind of achievement and it would be a tough ask, but he is a more intelligent fighter than Kovalev and I can see him having a good go of it. It would make GGG the 3rd best fighter of all time behind Joe Calzaghe and James Toney.
