Don't count out Nonito Donaire yet because of that one sorry loss to Rigondeux, he is definitely the next Pacquiao. Note that even Pacquiao never had a smooth drive to the top. He got stopped twice at flyweight, had to settle for a bloody draw versus the rugged and rough Agapito Sanchez at junior featherweight and lost to Erik Morales at junior lightweight.
Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado---The new Gatti/Ward; Rafa Marquez/Israel Vasquez
Peter Quillin---The new Mike McCallum at least, Sugar Ray Leonard at best and old Bernard Hopkins.at his worst.
Gennady Golovkin----The new Marvin Hagler
Canelo Alvarez----The new De la Hoya, maybe in looks and charisma but not in style and level of fighting and accomplishments.
Guillermo Rigondeux----the new Mayweather of the lower weights.
Yuri Gamboa----the new Mayweather of the lightweights.
Zhou Shi Ming----the new Ivan Calderon
Mikey Garcia---the new Erik Morales/Marco Barrera combined,
Roman Gonzales---the new Little Hand of Stone Humberto Gonzales
Richard Abril/Miguel Vasquez----The new Celestino Caballero/Anselmo Moreno, haw haw!
Erislandy Lara---The new Paul Williams, haw haw!
Lucas Matthysse---The new but better Marcos Maidana
Me = New Sugar Ray Robinson
Yuriorkis Gamboa is the new Floyd Jr.
Victor ortiz...new vargas
The faces of boxing will soon change with the past stars fading. My Opinion on the new era
Adrien Broner = New mayweather
Danny Garcia = new cotto
Canelo = new Delahoya
??? = new pacquiao(dnt knw which fillipino fighter has enough to take that void yet)
Juan Francisco Estrada = New Juan manuel Marquez
Brandon Rios = New arturo Gatti
Am I missing anyone? give me your thoughts
