Who's the face of boxing now?
UFC has McGregor
WWE has Reigns
NBA has LeBron
NFL has Brady
Now that Mayweather has retired. Who's boxing's current poster boy?
Without Mayweather there isn't one. I think it'll take about 2 years until we can say for sure who is the king/face of boxing. It takes time for these kinda things.
Canelo for now until GGG beats him decisively in the rematch.
Then Golovkin will be the face of boxing for a few years until he retires.
Then either AJ or Spence will be the face of boxing for years to come.
Canelo. he's a three-time world champion in 2 weight categories, having control the Ring magazine middleweight title since 2015. antecedently he had 2 reigns as pugilist world champion, holding the WBA (Unified), WBC, and Ring titles between 2011 and 2013, and therefore the WBO title from 2016 to 2017. At middleweight he conjointly controls the white cell and lineal titles between 2015 and 2017.

I think Conor may have lost his spot as the face of the UFC. I'd say Jon Jones right now. Boxing, I'd say GGG or Canelo followed by Spence. Loma is the best but underappreciated.
Lmao that would be hilarious if Canelo or anyone else did that!
I understand when it comes to appeal and connecting but funny thing is he understands what you're saying in English but can't speak it!
Weird ****, but thats a nice list and why Algieri? Lol
I'd go with
Wilder
Ward
Kamegai
Salido
Rigo
Honorable mentions
Crawford
GGG
Dorticos
Porter
Estrada
Team 1 focuses on balance of getting people outta there with 1 shot, making it ugly and being able to dish and take it!
Team 2 focuses balance on finesse, skills, distance and taking it on the inside of necessary!
Your list(s) is hella dope. It sh*ts all over mine, but my list is filled with bias, hence JCC Jr being in there :lol1:
With regard to the bold, Algieri is a qualified nutritionist. Homeboy has a degree in that sh*t. He'll be able to tell us what food to eat after we've gotten our asses whipped by you and your list, lmao.
Seems like it's Canelo here in the U.S./Mexico and Joshua in Europe.
If I had to pick any current American fighter to be the next guy to become poster boy, I think Spence has a good chance. Extremely talented offensive minded fighter with a lot of good fighters in or around his weight class. Plus he hasn't got in any trouble outside the ring that I'm aware of and he seems to be a good guy without seeming fake about it (some people think Joshua is kind of being fake in interviews and what not)
Too many people were booing to call him boxing's poster boy.
Plus
He's not good enough
Who's he gonna' beat?????????????????
Well, he's going to beat the brakes off golovkin in the rematch...so that's a start.
With Mayweather retiring it is Wide Open for whoever wants it. Canelo and AJ are currently the two biggest draws in boxing with Mayweather retiring but I won't say either has cemented themselves as "The Poster Boy".
I lean AJ being the guy though because he is a Heavyweight, his Physical Stature and he speaks ENGLISH! Him and Eddie Hearn will take this American Market by Storm and I think it will happen Rapidly partly because the UK Travels on top of Americans natural infatuated with Heavyweights Automatically.
Also AJ have some Dance Partners to make more bigger fights. With Canelo, honestly, I don't know what is next after the Canelo vs GGG Saga is over. I don't see no other mega fight on the horizon for him after that. While AJ have Wilder, Joseph Parker, maybe Tyson Fury if he does comeback. AJ can be that next GLOBAL ICON not just an American Draw.
Its still Pacquaio and not even close. More people watched Pac vs a unknown in Horn in the states than watched the floyd vs McGregor PPV. Plus hes international so he has the asian, middle east and european market cuz he speaks multiple languages
2nd would be GGG cuz hes known in russia, europe, america and mexico. Canelo just speaks spanish and lost against GGG so hes not there yet
In twenty years this will be known as the Joshua-Canelo era. Both bring massive fan bases. I think a lot of people miss how popular Canelo is among Latinos. Massive star
.
I completely agree, and I absolutely love it when athletes/celebs/personalities get asked a question in English, and say "Fvck you" and answer in their native languages. But we're talking about someone being the face of WORLD boxing. Dude's gotta at least try appeal to people who don't speak his language, you know?
And I'd go for AJ, Benavidez, Rigo, Thurman and Algieri. Honorable mentions to Crawford, Spence, Kameda Koki and JCC Jr. My list has little to do with ability, lol.
How about you, bro?

I can respect a fighter who wants to do things in their way!
Anyways just to ask, who do you have in your top 5 fighters currently active you'd bring in a bar brawl?

How about you, bro?
That in my opinion discounts him from being the face, or at the very least, severely hinders him.
Even GGG with his severely broken English makes the effort. After the fight with Canelo, he had an interpreter in the ring, yet he still answered in his limited English.

Canelo and it's not close!
He's just missing more stamina and speak English and he'd be much bigger here!
Everytime he opens up its a thing of beauty with the fluidity of his combos, counters and speed!
If he had the stamina of Roman Gonzalez then he'd be much harder to beat than he already is!
