    Who is the next Pac or Floyd?

    I don't see anyone remotely close to their skills/Assetts or will be able to achieve their accomplishments right now.

    Anyone else feel the same?

    Everyone's different and fighters have different styles and different skill sets that they can use to their own advantage and become great in their own way. There's nobody that resembles Floyd or Manny style wise right now but it doesn't mean that there's nobody that can become great, we're not looking for the next Floyd or Manny but the next great champ in their on right. Time will deliver, there's no need to rush anyone or anything, we've seen what happens when you jump to assumptions.

      Guys like them come around very rarely. We are lucky to have them both at the same time. Different styles but both are great.
      To your question, I dont see anyone like them but Thurman looks to be improving each fight and I think he'll be a champion for a while at 147. Garcia is a good technical fighter but not unbeatable.GGG could be special with his mix of boxing skill and devastating power.

        That is interesting. I do believe time will deliver but I am not sure it is anyone right now. For example some may be too old, or others have not really fought good enough names just yet.

        I am not looking at someone for style exactly but someone with something special that has time to create a great legacy.

        Having seen Thurman I would like to see him fight someone with more speed and power. He has some skills but he looks a bit shakey and his defence isn't really that great.

        GGG seems to have tremendous technique to get his power but he is up there in age. How long does he have left?

        I appreciate both Pac and May. They do have that special element in them. Like their footwork, or their speed, and their ability to hit and create angles to do so.

            Broner still has the it, even in that loss to Maidana.

              Sorry I dont see it..he couldn't adjust at all during that fight. He has no lateral movement at all and his chin is questionable at 147 at least. He may improve but Hes got a lot of work to do IMO.

                  Every fighter has his own style. There will never be another fighter quite like Mayweather or Pacquiao. Mayweather's boxing skills will be hard to equal. Pacquiao's hand and foot speed and side to side, in and out movement would be hard to match.and combine that with his ability to throw 100 hard punches a round and you have a very unique fighter.As far as fighters that are just as good as Pacquiao and Mayweather goes, I would rate Rigo and GGG every bit as good pound for pound.

                    Ward's style is conducive to a long career, provided he can avoid injury.

                    Miranda
                    Kessler
                    Green
                    Bika
                    Abraham
                    Froch
                    Dawson
                    Rodriguez

                    More than decent run for a 29 year old, he'll probably secure another couple of big names every year.
