          Tank for sure, especially if he takes all the big fights and wins.

          Zayas and Shu Shu seem to be growing fan bases. Bam Rodriguez as well.

          David if he beats Canelo.

          Should it happen- the winner of Inoue and Nakatani, if both are undefeated, will be a major international star.

          If Inoue comes out of that undefeated and Tank is still undefeated, that shapes up to be the super fight outside of hwt.

            Definitions come into play here.
            So many avenues for entertainment celebrity.
            Fury is sure the most recognizable UK sporting star in the US.
            Not sure that ANY Soccer, Rugby or Cricket players from anywhere would warrant a 2nd glance here in the US, but Fury and A.J. certainly would.

              Someone always comes along.

              It would help if Canelo passed the baton to Benavidez by fighting him, win or lose. Same way Canelo got shine from the Floyd fight.

                When Ali died, they practically shut down the country and streamed the event on Fox, CNN all day. Same for every country in the world. But when Hank Aaron and Willie Mays died, two of the most well known athletes in the world in their time at the top, competitive crickets.

                Boxing is a whole other level.

                  In America I think it's Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez for Boxing popularity after Canelo and Terence Crawford.

                  Globally, I think it will be Anthony Joshua and Inoue.

                    - - Where U live? Timbuktu?

                    Craw can't draw flies, nor Davis. Bena has some potential as he's making all the right moves, but maybe needs a trainer upgrade to assist him as 175 is a killer division now and and traditionally.
