I feel like Joshua has more upside at this point. He's got potential big matches approaching: A rematch with Wlad, matches with Fury, Wilder. After Glolovkin I don't see the same opportunities ahead for Canelo, who might well lose to Golovkin anyway. Who's he got besides Golovkin's leftovers in Lemieux, Jacobs?

Who will be the bigger star: Canelo or Joshua?

good question...Canelo is more popular now but Joshua fights in the flagship division and most casuals tend to follow HWs more than the other classes

Damn we miss Floyd...

Joshua IMO. He is a HWT and a dominant HWT champion is a much better bet to be the biggest star in the sport.

Tough call. I think Canelo could start being bigger tomorrow if he just did more interviews & media in English. Meanwhile Joshua is making every right move possible, but the reality at HW is it can all come crashing down tomorrow with a brutal KO loss or two. Sure that could happen at Caneloweight, but its far less likely. So I suppose my cop out answer, but legit answer would be Joshua will reach bigger heights & Canelo will be a bigger star for a longer period of time. So in other words if we could measure their total revenue generating ability over their entire careers they'd probably be pretty close.

If AJ continues to fight and win against the big names, he will reignite the fire for the HW division. Meanwhile, Cantnelo will continue to fight his safe fights @ catch weights & moo like the cash cow that he is for Oscar. The potential for AJ to be huge is real.

Khan and Chavez are not in his weight classes but both were willing to move up or down just to fight him and will move weight to do it. Canelo literally has the pick of the litter to choose from at 147, 154, 160, 168. And there will ALWAYS be a new boogeyman that pops up after he beats GGG. Joshua has really 2 names Wilder and Fury once he fights both there is nothing left at Heavyweight.
