    While Canelo is the biggest star in boxing currently.. He can never be the face of boxing. The face of boxing is someone people can relate to.. Canelo doesn’t speak English so his character will isn’t going to be relatable to the majority of the boxing world, just Mexicans. Even GGG has a bigger chance than Canelo to be the face of boxing as he can at least speak English. Canelo has the looks and skills but it doesn’t seem like he’s even taking English lessons.. It’s a shame really, if he spoke English he’d be the face of boxing no doubt. But then again he has GGG problems.

    Spence has the talent but not the character. Thurman is an excellent speaker and his talent is up there but I see him losing to both Brook and Spence but Thurman definitely has what it takes.

    But AJ is undoubtedly heading that way to becoming the face of boxing.. He’s already partnered with Sky and has been appointed ambassador of Sky. He sells out stadiums, He’s backed by corporate sponsors and endorsements. He looks the part, talks eloquently, has power and is a heavyweight. If he wins against Vlad he will become that guy.

      Michael Conlan if he can actually fight at the pro level has by far the biggest shot to be the face of boxing.

      Joshua will be the face of England, for as long his highly roided up body holds up, I question how long his ligaments will last though.

      Spence has a chance, but I'm not as sold on him as many people are, and I've yet to see any promoters build a black American fighter up in a long time. Crawford is probably the only one in awhile.

        In two years? Probably still Canelo, which sums up the current sad state of boxing.

        I haven't picked Joshua or Wilder because I don't believe either of them will unify - and without that, they are severely limited by being just another piece of the puzzle.

            Anthony Joshua. He just needs teh Wlad win, especially if its impressive and then a win over another title holder.

                  We need a heavyweight. Maybe Fury was going to be that guy. But he sure isn't. Maybe Joshua or somebody.

                  The problem with boxing is that the best guys are all in the lighter divisions. We need an exciting, talented, compelling big guy or two.

                  Here is the rule, no matter what era you're in: As the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing.
