Who will emerge as the future King of Boxing

[SaadOffTheDeck]

You just mad at yourself

As per usual, you don't make a lick of sense. Your stupidity is frightening.

I like you too

I dont have anything against you. Not understanding boxing very well isn't a crime.

Hinata Maruta.

Hinata Maruta.

Hey mate, I just checked him out for the first time.

You think he'll surpass Inoue?

Seems to me compared to Inoue, same time in their careers, he's got a better jab and it looks to me better head/body movement, but distinctly inferior punch variety and power.

What makes you so high on him?

[Counter-puncher]

His jab is beautiful, by the way, really beautiful.

Natural size will help his appeal in the West (122-130), naturally good looking, has spent a lot of time stateside and is picking up English (helped by Brandon Lockhart who's at the same gym).

Insane talent and ticks boxes Inoue doesn't...and has the advantage of coming in Inoue's wake

Dropping Jason Canoy on his debut suggests he has NASTY power ..not sure what you've seen of him, but...all his bouts are out there

[Counter-puncher]

Yeah your logic makes sense, just checking out what I can find, thanks

Haha..that was a funny line...

Glad you enjoyed it, it wasn't a joke.

Joker:"why so serious?"

[SaadOffTheDeck]

None of this is serious. You have a good sense of humour. What you lack in boxing knowledge you make up for with enthusiasm and not taking yourself too seriously.

[Best Coast]

Crawford, Loma or AJ

Inoue will probably be considered the best but he's too Asian to break into the racist American market.

Absolute bullcrap!!

Pacman is Asian and he is THE most popular overseas boxer EVER in America!! In fact, in his prime, Pac was probably the most popular boxer in the US even if you count American fighters!!

The main thing that will keep Inoue from catching on in the US is size!! In fact 1988 Olympian Michael Carbajal is the only US boxer below 126 pounds to really get a good size fanbase in the US.

[caldo2025]

Sad.

But now i know for sure that i am around of a lot of non experts.

This should be the best internet website of boxing in the whole world and what answer is given by a lot of people in here about who could be the king of boxing. Freakin canelo. A guy that everytime he steps inside the ring against the elite losses. A guy who lost his last fight against a past prime ggg. A guy with slow footwork, desperate runner who had no breathe left against a 35 year old. That is supposed to be the king of boxing. Because he makes the most money and money is surely more important than quality when determing the status of a boxer. Than joshua, who is lucky to be taller and stronger than 97 % of all hw, because his skills are b level. He is galaxys away from someo e like inoue if we talk quality.

You guys lost your credebility.

You run a poll and aren't smart enough to put the right choices in it and you blame people for choosing "other". LOL. Nice Poll dude. What a dipshiit you are. Then you get mad at people for your stupidity. You would make a good president actually.

Anthony Joshua will inevitably become the future "King of Boxing" during 2018. I've said it once before already, but people ignored me, so I'll say it again.

Anthony Joshua’s name hasn’t been included to the poll, because the person who created this thread didn’t consider the subject matter beforehand.

Regardless of criterion, such talent, ability or accomplishment, Anthony Joshua will crossover to the mainstream and be universally recognised on both sides of the pond as the “King of Boxing”.

In 18 months time, people will be proclaiming AJ as the current "King of Boxing"... and they'll inevitably forget or ignore the very person who said it first.

[fightfan95]

I agree with a lot of people on here that are saying AJ will be the 'King of Boxing.'

He is in the heavyweight division with two world title belts already. Every fight since the Whyte fight has been on PPV in the UK. So already he is hugely recognised. I can see him beating Parker, Wilder, Pulev, Ortiz.

[IKSRTFO]

IMO, probably Saul Alvarez still. He's 27, and if he improves just a little bit more, he'll be a god. When you look at anyone else in the same p4p ballpark, they are all older, have less room to improve, have less time to continue doing new things (and if we're talking drawing power, Alvarez already has a major leg-up on everybody). One last thing to say about Alvarez, it's possible that he will learn from his experience against Golovkin, given the level of the opposition. Golovkin's and Rigondeaux's presence in the poll is the joke of all jokes -- they are going to retire any minute now (maybe 1 year in Rigondeaux's case, 1.5-2 years in Golovkin's case).

IMO, the best accomplishment/age ratios that present the best case for future p4p supremacy are...
Name / boxrec rating / Age
Saul Alvarez / 998 / 27
Anthony Joshua / 705 / 27
Terence Crawford / 992 / 29
Vasyl Lomachenko / 793 / 29
Miguel Berchelt / 633 / 25
Naoya Inoue / 464 / 24
Leo Santa Cruz / 586 / 29
Luis Nery / 645 / 22

Which I think will work against him because although he's 27 in physical age, he's well into his boxing career and has had many fights. Fernando Vargas and Mike Tyson were on the downside by 27. And while Canelo has improved skill wise, he's never improved his stamina and stamina doesn't get easier to improve as you age as a fighter.

IMO, probably Saul Alvarez still. He's 27, and if he improves just a little bit more, he'll be a god.

If Daniel Jacobs improves just a little bit more, he'll be a god.

Jip is either an extremely clever troll or has learning difficulties!

If Daniel Jacobs improves just a little bit more, he'll be a god.

With Haymon, Eddie Hearn's Matchroom and HBO supporting him, that could very well happen. Especially if they can arrange for him to engage in a rematch at the right time against Golovkin and become the very first fighter to inflict a loss on the Kazakh puncher.

Add to that he has a top promoter to get him the fights, and paydays, plus he is 19 with 19 KO's. Everyone loves a KO artist, just look at GGG's fan base- they are all about the KO.
If he keeps winning, 2018 will be the year that AJ breaks world wide. His rise is comparable with Mike Tyson who was all about the KO.

2018-2020

The best year in a very long time is about to end. Like i predicted 2016 was the year where the a level boxer clean out the divisions from all the b-d level boxer and 2017 will be the year where the top boxer who are left face each other in order to determin who the #1 in each division is and in lots of divisions it happened just like that.

Now we know the a level for sure: loma, GGG, crawford, spence, just to name a view.

Now my main question is whos gonne be the boss of all bosses. Whos gonne be "the man" of all these proven a level. For a long time jones was the king of boxing, hopkins was king, floyd was king, manny was king, now its loma, who will it be in the future?

Winner of loma/rigo surely.

GGG has the best record, but is past his best and his skills are limited.

Crawford if he d stay at light ww, i predict ww will be his downfall. No one needs to argue with me aboit tc skills, i know tc, his skills are tremendous, great stamina, close to none weaknesses, but i just feel the top 2 will be physicly powerwise to strong for him

Inoue, if he finaly would open his mouth and getting his act together. I would favour him over estrada, gonzales and wangek and if he fought and beat those guys than mentioning his name as a possible king of boxing would be a must.

2017

i saw the future correctly!!!

crawford didnt do shit, "oh no porter is my best friend, i could never fight him".........all the top ww boxer are on al haymon side, what does tc do, when he can make a choice for his future, bob or al? tc chooses bob

inoue did what he always did, shut up and not mention the top guys and GGG was past it like i said.

Loma King

its good to have the last laugh

[Steel City]

Oleksandr Khyzhniak will take the baton from Lomachenko and Usyk

Oleksandr Khyzhniak will take the baton from Lomachenko and Usyk

didnt know him. he is 24 and a top amateur, why is he not going pro, middleweight would be perfect for him! he is entering his prime.
