    Excellent post. I would take away GGG since he is not really a household name. The face of boxing must be a household name.

    1. Canelo
    2. Fury
    3. AJ
    Golovkin is still a premier fighter, he has been a member of this specific group for a long time. I think he has a bigger following, and has made more of a impact than Lomachenko, especially in the professional ranks

    The primer fighters from the Eastern European regions are, Golovkin, Lomachenko, Usyk. I don't quite think Bivol has joined them, well? He is not acting like he has i.e selling himself out with a potential 168 pound fight vs Alvarez 'Unnecessary fight, but still? I understand that if he wins under such circumstances, he would then potentially become a primer fighter.

    Depending on what region your are from the world? Boxing will have a different fighter, who people in that demographic recognize as the premier fighters.

    Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez are the most global premier fighters. Tank Davis is very specific, and targets a demographic 'Floyd Mayweather Junior has promoted him very well, there is always a distinct theme to his fights' I really enjoyed Romero vs Davis, that fight and build up was similar to Malignaggi vs Broner.

    Since the retirement of Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson, there have been no fighters who have been able to duplicate their universal reach. It has always been a group of primer fighters in every era since etc.

    You have people on this forum who are fanatically about certain fighters 'Some of these fighters, I personally don't invest much in their careers or fights'.

      Every Jake Paul fight has been on some paying service and does big business. Hopefully the circus acts bring more viewers for the future.

      Fury with his height, being the HW champ and antics should be the face of boxing and for some reason he is not. Canelo is the most recognizable and most popular.

        I would have thought Fury.
