    What about the Polish?

    You got Adamek fans, they're talking about Wlad too. Boytsov, Solis etc.

    Anyone interested in heavyweight boxing has to discuss the name of thed champ, you don't have to like the guy, I don't like the guy.

    You have to admit he's talked about as a boxer and he's looking to sign to fight a decent contender. Which is more than Mayweather can say.

    You can hear them talking about him down the bar, unless you're just like this guy...or you're just too young to get in:

      The percentage of Polish as a whole doesnt put Adamek i in the conversation as the face of boxing. Why would it boost Wlad to number 2? The big question is who's really interested in HW boxing? Not many thats for sure.

        just a quick look around my gym and its pretty obvious a lot of the young kids today are copying 1 fighter primarily and thats the pacman.

        i would say without doubt pacman is the face of boxing to the public and even the hardcore fans. he delivers exciting fights. fact.

          Refer to the TS, he's asking who is getting talked about. No doubt that is Manny as numero uno.

          I'm just saying Wlad comes in at number two above Mayweather cos May ain't active and he ain't taking on the contenders, he's just sitting on his belt.

          People talk about the Klitschkos and Wlad a lot. All over the world, especially with this big fight coming up.

          When you gonna sort out a big fight like that on your side of the ocean?

          I thought that was your job?

          Mecca of boxing my ass. More like the Hollywood of boxing where the divas all whine about their gated communities and money.

              i stand corrected, this is more ******ier than the first one. just stfu already its not funny anymore idiota!

                hoooohummmmm......lets stop the pretense here ok people.... its PAC.... albeit it is true when FMs camp used the PEDS issue, they managed to hook a ride with all that is pacworthy attention being shown on the media... talk about grabbing some attention.

                But I'm not here to b*tch... It is true that Pac has managed to transcend the boxing world into the mainstream (POP if you can say it).... just like Michael Jordan was able to do to Basketball.... when you ask who is THE FACE... well we're talkin about him right now, but if you are askin who are THE FACES of Boxing..... there ya go.... PAC, FM, DON, KHAN et all.... if ya aint 'ceptin this yet.... your on the wrong sport.... go play curling or something....

                  This thread reminds of the All-Star weekend, Pau Gasol was asked who would he would like to meet, and he said Pacman. Last week's "No Ordinary Family", a TV series about a family who have super human abilities, they mentioned "Manny Pacquiao" when a bad guy busted up and robbed an ATM with his punch...

                    now thats one hell of a definition of THE FACE of boxing, when one is reminded of something when one sees another thing that at first glance recognized it / or associated it to such. someone punching another knocking him out and people readily sees a particular boxer, now thats whats nail it being the face of boxing.
