    Anyways just to ask, who do you have in your top 5 fighters currently active you'd bring in a bar brawl?
    I completely agree, and I absolutely love it when athletes/celebs/personalities get asked a question in English, and say "**** you" and answer in their native languages. But we're talking about someone being the face of WORLD boxing. Dude's gotta at least try appeal to people who don't speak his language, you know?

    And I'd go for AJ, Benavidez, Rigo, Thurman and Algieri. Honorable mentions to Crawford, Spence, Kameda Koki and JCC Jr. My list has little to do with ability, lol.

    How about you, bro?

        Lmao that would be hilarious if Canelo or anyone else did that!

        I understand when it comes to appeal and connecting but funny thing is he understands what you're saying in English but can't speak it!

        Weird ****, but thats a nice list and why Algieri? Lol

        I'd go with

        Wilder
        Ward
        Kamegai
        Salido
        Rigo

        Honorable mentions

        Crawford
        GGG
        Dorticos
        Porter
        Estrada

        Team 1 focuses on balance of getting people outta there with 1 shot, making it ugly and being able to dish and take it!

        Team 2 focuses balance on finesse, skills, distance and taking it on the inside of necessary!

          I believe Crawford would be a great personality as the face of boxing

                  In twenty years this will be known as the Joshua-Canelo era. Both bring massive fan bases. I think a lot of people miss how popular Canelo is among Latinos. Massive star
                  .

                    Its still Pacquaio and not even close. More people watched Pac vs a unknown in Horn in the states than watched the floyd vs McGregor PPV. Plus hes international so he has the asian, middle east and european market cuz he speaks multiple languages

                    2nd would be GGG cuz hes known in russia, europe, america and mexico. Canelo just speaks spanish and lost against GGG so hes not there yet

                      With Mayweather retiring it is Wide Open for whoever wants it. Canelo and AJ are currently the two biggest draws in boxing with Mayweather retiring but I won't say either has cemented themselves as "The Poster Boy".

                      I lean AJ being the guy though because he is a Heavyweight, his Physical Stature and he speaks ENGLISH! Him and Eddie Hearn will take this American Market by Storm and I think it will happen Rapidly partly because the UK Travels on top of Americans natural infatuated with Heavyweights Automatically.

                      Also AJ have some Dance Partners to make more bigger fights. With Canelo, honestly, I don't know what is next after the Canelo vs GGG Saga is over. I don't see no other mega fight on the horizon for him after that. While AJ have Wilder, Joseph Parker, maybe Tyson Fury if he does comeback. AJ can be that next GLOBAL ICON not just an American Draw.
