No matter what boxer is on that list I just think it’s great that there were a few. Boxing needs better promotion, if only the powers that be promoted the top stars like they did in the 70s and 80s
Both of them are small potatoes compared to soccer, basketball, American football etc.
A lot of people have no idea who Canelo is. Joshua is actually probably more famous globally. Bizarre list.
Canelo is widely known throughout the Spanish-speaking world, including Spain and the United States. In Mexico alone, his televised fights are watched in 15 million households. Keep in mind that Latinos are more apt to follow boxing than English speakers, so it is likely that Canelo is more widely known than Joshua, but Joshua is certainly more popular in the UK. Keep in mind that the United States is the second only to Mexico in the number of Spanish speakers. For a little perspective, there are over 52 million people who speak Spanish in the U.S. -- many more Spanish speakers than even in Spain or Argentina.
