So who will comprise the next generation of boxing superstars? Some current stars are still young enough to remain headliners for years to come: Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Paul Williams, Ricky Hatton and Kelly Pavlik all appear to have plenty of miles left in their respective tanks. The tougher question is which young fighters will make the difficult transition from talented prospect to true star?
We've compiled our list of the top 25 boxing prospects for 2009 and beyond. To qualify for this list a boxer must be 25 years of age or less and must not have appeared in a WBC, WBA, IBF or WBO title fight. We're sure you'll agree with some of the names on this list. However, we're equally sure you'll think there are other top prospects who have been unfairly overlooked and deserve to be included. Let us know what you think . . .
De La Hoya-Chavez Jr. has a built-in storyline as De La Hoya scored TKO wins over Julio’s father, Julio Cesar Chavez, in 1996 and 1998. Plus, De La Hoya doesn't want his last bout to be a one-sided blowout loss ... and - as bad as he looked against Pacquiao - Oscar would have a decent shot of defeating the still raw and relatively untested Chavez Jr.
The decision will not be overturned. Expect the WBA to order a rematch ... which would likely be just as dull and pointless as the first fight.
