Shawn Porter, Saul Alvarez, Devon Alexander & Amir Khan.... who has the brighter future?

im siding with Devon but Khan is making a case for himself. Saul is slowly turning heads and Porter is still unproven. What do you guys think?

    Amir Khan has a really good future ahead of him so does Shawn Porter, but i would have to say the brightest future would be Devon Alexander and Saul Alvarez mostly due to their promoters pull within boxing. Alvarez is promoted by Golden Boy promotions (i could be wrong though) and Devon has a great promoter in his side, so with that being said i think they'll have more meaningful fights ahead of them as their caeer's progress.

    Both Devon Alexander and Amir Khan are comparatively more established fighters as of the present than both Shawn Porter and Saul Alvarez who are yet to fight more prominent foes or hold on to at least a major international boxing title. Alexander is the current WBC and IBF jr. welterweight champion while Khan is the WBA jr. welterweight champion. Alexannder holds wins over Juan Urango, Junior Witters and DeMarcus Corley while Khan has had wins over Dmitri Salita, Andryi Kotelnik, Marco Barrera and Gary St. Clair. " Showtime" Porter's main claim to fame was his being a former amateur standout in the US who totes an undefeated pro record of 13-0 ( 10 kos) and a lead sparring partner to Manny Pacquiao in the latter's fight against Miguel Cotto. Alvarez on the other hand is an undefeated welterweight prospect (31-0 with 23 Kos) who was a former WBC Youth world welter champ and currently the NABF welter king. Given these cerdentials, I think all four will have a bright future ahead of them and it is a possibility that two or three, even all four of them will get to meet each other inside the ring down the road a few years from now.

    Definitely Amir Khan. Shawn Porter has got skills but he still lacks experience.

    i wasnt impressed with Porter in his last fight, for Alvarez, its too soon to tell, Khan is supremely talented but has the liability of a shaky chin, so ill say that Devon Alexander has the most upside, the dude can fight and has a couple of good wins on his resume. a fight between him and Tim Bradley would be awesome.

    Amir Kahn already has money so his future is now.

    Devon Alexander has the brightest future of the rest because he shined on HBO in front of millions of people.

    The penis-looking guy Tim Bradley w/c is not on your list has the brightest future and will become #1 Pound-for-pound best boxer.
