    When will there be another 'face of boxing' other than Canelo?

    The sport of boxing seems to be okay with this and don't demand it from the rest.

        It's gonna be awhile IMHO. REAL boxing fans and even casuals are now calling out the bulls.hit ducks wahid, ginger and others and I feel are going to demand the "new" face to be a man

          Theres always someone whos #1. Its relative.

          But obviously Canelo isn't as big as Tyson or SRL so the next guy might not be as big as Canelo.

            Hard to tell. Carnela isn't willing to pass the torch to bumavidez and stank can't do numbers without cryan and hasn't fought since.

                  Its not like Canelo was/is really a HUGE star anyway. He was a significant step down from Floyd and Pac in terms of mainstream public awareness.

                    Canelo is the face of Mexico and aspects of North America and a bit of South/Central America. If he was international like AJ he'd be fighting in Saudi. That's why there is the push to try and get him and Benvavidez in Saudi which in my opinion is nothing more than Bivol vs Gilberto Ramirez 2.0. Saudi would overpay for a simple mandatory.

                    They aren't heavyweights. Benavidez doesn't sell and isn't as popular as GGGimmick when it comes to Canelo opponents. The true value in terms of money may be no more than Canelo vs Plant.
