Let's say he does win his next fight. With the end of Floyd's undefeated streak and his biggest selling point and Manny slipping boxing would be without its 2 biggest stars but we'd have a new 1. Does Canelo have the goods to carry the sport forward like other big names before him. I'm worried he won't cross over with the American audience because of the language barrier. It hurts JMM and pervious Mexican stars like MAB and Erik. We need known names to help generate interest in the sport and Canelo for all the love he gets in his home country and from some die hard fans is either a curiosity or a complete unknown to the non boxing public.

Matthy is the next carrier of boxing (no ****) -
Not on his own...no way. Adrien Broner and a heavyweight like Fury or Wilder need to come through as well. Unfortunately HBO's decision to drop GBP is going to hurt Canelo, Wilder, Broner, and boxing as a whole.Comment

Yeah about that. He's going to get crippled by Danny so don't put your faith in Matthysse.Originally posted by larryXdavid View PostComment

Of course not, but Bradley, Gamboa, and Broner will all be stars along side him.Comment

Bradley is about as interesting as watching paint dry, Broner is too untested and one loss could derail him entirely.Originally posted by LoadedWraps View Post
The only potential star besides Canelo is Deontay. If America has a unified hw champ that will bring attention to the sport.Comment

I seriously hope Matthysse has insurance because I fear for his health if he fights Danny.Comment

has a non english speaker ever carried boxing?Comment

Dang! Time goes by fast man. Mayweather and Pacquiao on their way out as the last PPV big # guys. Both had their "IN" with the De La Hoya fight to the mainstream (USA culture) as household common names.
Canelo is going to get his "in" vs Mayweather BUT...I'm afraid his background / personality isn't unique. Like Mayweather has his ****y/undefeated attitude and talk a big game, while Manny was the first Filipino to become a big-time athlete with the whole country depending on him to win.
Canelo needs some sort of unique story about him...AND also needs to learn English lmao (if he wants to make big bucks in USA)Comment
