If canelo is the face of boxing then boxing is in a bad place

whats the face of boxing lineage ill go back not too far say oscar floyd pac floyd pac floyd broner canelo tank usyk/inoune

turki is the current face of boxing

Ok Glad to know not worth complaining about since there is no other guy worthy of the moniker :fing02:

I actually hate that notion as well. As if one fighter represents the entire sport. What then is the meaning behind that? That when he fights, we MUST tune in because this is boxing? F that. I know there are casuals and perhaps that is the way they think, but there is so much missed if you think this is the only guy worth tuning into. In fact, if I was them, I'd be sick of the sport by now because he's put on mediocre fight after mediocre fight for like this last 5 fights. For me, boxing is healthier when you have multiple stars doing their thing and constantly. We should not have to wait for that 1 guy maybe once or twice a year to get interested. There should be more stars and fighting more often and perhaps not altogether so that boxing doesn't "shoot its load" all at once and the rest of the year sucks. I initially though how amazing the weekend was going to be when you had Ryan, Teofimo, Canelo and Inoue all fighting on the same weekend. Big mistake. Inoue was the only one whose star status rose and if you enjoyed the likes of Ryan, Teofimo or Canelo, you probably thought you don't care to see them fight again anytime soon.

i just asked a few people half just chuckled and said mike tyson Lmaooooo

Usyk ain't selling out stadiums. It just looks that way. He's been the B side to Joshua and fury 4 times. They were the draw. Step outside and ask who's the heavyweight champion of the world. you wont find 1 person that knows. i just asked a few people half just chuckled and said mike tyson

I dont know if he ever really was the face of boxing internationally. Definitely in America but I feel like AJ, Fury and in more recent years Usyk were much bigger in Europe at least. Its not like the days of Floyd and Pac where they were clearly the two biggest boxing stars everywhere on the planet. Regardless, they're all in the twilight of their careers and so far there isnt anyone on their level of star power to replace them when they're gone.

Is he anymore? He clearly is the face of Mexican boxing. He still does more than anyone in North America. He’s more like Inoue or Tank-big in a specific group. IMO it isn’t like Usyk that is going to different countries selling out huge stadiums and arenas whoever he fights. Usyk ain't selling out stadiums. It just looks that way. He's been the B side to Joshua and fury 4 times. They were the draw. Step outside and ask who's the heavyweight champion of the world. you wont find 1 person that knows.

Has Canelo ever crossed over? I don't think non boxing fans know who he is. Same goes for Crawford. He's appearing at a local shopping centre around the corner from me in Melbourne in a fortnight. The event has two likes on Facebook. No-one cares. I'm not sure boxing really has a face. How can you have a face when it's behind a paywall? Ok, again. If not Nelo, who, and why isn't that guy the face ?

Nelo will rightfully be a unanimous 1st ballot HOFer the moment he retires. Mentioned among ATGs Even with Scull on his resume, his is the best active resume.

Some guys at work watches Ryan and canelo and then UFC this weekend Boxing was a fuking embarrassment. Only teo acted like he even wanted to be there. UFC was 1000x times more entertaining. Boxing has been my sport for 25 years but when it stinks it really stinks. No wonder UFC is more mainstream

Him and Crawford have agreed to a draw. His excellency is getting played. Plausible theory mate. Canelo could manipulate that through Sulaiman's judges. Easily. This fight has a phony feel to it. The staredown had zero tension or grudge. It was boring. Like two business partners pretending to resent each other. Crawford is acting and talking so "polite" about this fight. Real fights went off script and they trash talked and exposed the other's flaws and warts. Can see this one staying on script and be a dull soft sparring waltz. Like all the other Canelo shows.

canelo is NOT the face of boxing. and WTF cant we be happy with that? there is no face of boxing just like there is no P4P. its just a vacuum....until the real dragon warrior returns

Truth. Canelo is not a real boxer anymore, he's masquerading as one with nothing but phony exhibitions with hired opponents who happily trade the L for the career high payday. All of Canelo's fights are polite sparring sessions now, nobody trash talks him or mentions Canelo's dodgery and business greed to keep robbing the fans. Canelo is ruining the image of boxing, like Mayweather did. The only solution is to boycott Canelo into retirement because we know he will not fight Benavidez or Beterbiev. You have to wonder if Crawford is on the take now, happy to take the career best payday for the sparring L in his last fight at age 39. Him and Crawford have agreed to a draw. His excellency is getting played.

The commentators make me vomit and I don't watch Canelo fights unless he fights somebody who isn't a cab driver cherry pick. Lol i laugh when they say that.. but they also said he was a great fighter and he's not. They are just selling to the casuals. If he were anywhere near the face of boxing he wouldn't have been fighting at 7am in the morning against an unknown guy .

What happens to Canelo's legacy once he loses to a much naturally smaller black fighter? Who is jumping all the way up from a 135 lbs to challenge him at 168? Would his career be tainted, tarnished and ruined forever because of it? His career is already tainted.

It's just a slogan and millennial obsession. This need to define an "absolute". Just ignore it. Millennial obsession? FMJ ain't no millenial, and he used to say he was

Who should be the "face" :dunno: The "Monster" Of Bums Benny The Bumslayer ( :lol1: ) Being the face was not gifted to Nelo
