Who can be the next face of boxing?

[NihonJim]

levels though

I believe Alvarez is a level or 1.5 levels better than Bena

Bivol is great

Alvarez is in the shallow end of greatness. Bena is very good

Bena won’t seem dangerous if he gets 10-2’d or 9-3’d by Bivol!

Alvarez the better fighter too. All of that should give him confidence to make the highest paying fight

I still personally don't think Alvarez should get too much criticism for the Bivol fight

And I'm not a massive fan of Alvarez but the size difference plays a huge part when you match two elite level fighters, plus Bivol is just a horrid style matchup for Alvarez.

For me personally, Alvarez should be judged as a 160lb fighter, he's shorter than Arthur Abraham who was considered small at 168, the elite super middleweights are all over 6 foot tall.

I consider Alvarez career above 160 as more of a sideshow tbh

in his mid to late 20s Alvarez was 160

Imo mid to late 20s weight class is a good marker for a fighter’s “real weight”

Then we have Bivol the small light heavy. Artur always appears a good 10 rounds bigger

Any other name that has the potential of becoming the next face of boxing?

[El_Mero]

Jaron has an opportunity to build his profile

beat up Ryan and Teo

then clear out 154 specifically Vergil and Keith

that should get the job done

beating up other American stars and Mexicans is how you get attention in boxing

Gotta have a personality and following.

[ELPacman]

Honestly and I hate to say this because he's inconsistent and really hasn't done **** in boxing yet, but Ryan Garcia. The dude has the personality and looks to demand attention whenever he fights. He can fight a tomato can and folks will tune in. His social media presence really helped him and unfortunately, most other guys don't got it. He just needs to fight more often and lay off the the dumbtivities. Whether he's acting like a fool on social media, taking something he doesn't know he took, or just not coming in on weight. These are all serious things that need to be fixed. Even in saying all that, there is no guarantee that his skills can take him as far as Canelo did with his skills. He's got a left hook and I'm not sure much else.

[ODLH Chicano Goat]

Inoue's been the face of boxing since Canelo stopped fighting top comp.

Any other name that has the potential of becoming the next face of boxing?

Honestly no. It's a sad state for boxing Honestly.

[jqSide]

Next face of boxing has to fight AT LEAST 2 times a year. (Three times is just too much for this current crop of weak feminized fighters.)

Current face of boxing Canelo fights every May and September, so he has set dates and I don't think anyone from the current crop can do such minimal obligation. Current crop feels they're giving you a favor when they fight as if you owe them something.

[El_Mero]

Unfortunately lower weight fighters will never get the respect by U.S. boxing fans. If they did, I'd say Inoue a/o Bam.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Bivol is the best boxer in the world.

"The face of boxing" is something for sissy sensitive western bi.tches.
