        I think the jury's out on Spence and Davis somewhat, I think Spence taking the fight against Garcia when everybody who KSAB knew it would be uncompetitive is a black mark against him, whereas Davis still seems a little immature and has had trouble outside the ring - I think a good ambassador for the sport needs to be free of that kind of thing.

        I think everybody else is a good example though, especially Loma and Inoue. Both outstanding boxers on a technical level, but both are also entertaing to watch, but in different ways. Plus, neither of them are saddled with any kind of major controversy, and all the while they've been fighting the best opposition available to them (fights just seem easier to make the lower in weight you go.)

          Most definitely Loma and Innoue.
          These guys are saving boxing reputations to the masses that enjoy boxing the way it used to be.
          The new way is Broner.

              How is Davis good for boxing? I suppose he’s good for casuals who enjoy watching knockouts and don’t care about competitive or frequent fights.

                The way Davis is managed is not good for boxing. He’s a solid fighter but they make him out to be this really young baby. He’s getting close to 25 lol.

                Make him seem like a bit of a bi+ch to be honest.

                I know he’s not one, but damn they slow as hell with him

                  In general I think the majority of boxers are good for boxing. It might be easier to make a list of who you believe is not particularly good for the sport...and why.

                  In addition to those you mentioned though, Canelo, Pacman and Anthony Joshua obviously bring a lot fans to the sport.
                  Juan Estrada, Leo Santa Cruz, Berchelt, Oscar Valdez are huge in Mexico.
                  - David Benavidez - in spite of suspension is very popular with dominant style
                  - Jamel Herring - good story, fan supported
                  - Teofimo Lopez - popular style
                  - Devin Haney - rising star
                  - Vergil Ortiz Jr - rising star
                  - Callum Smith - fan supported
                  - Efe Ajagba - people are already watching
                  - Andy Ruiz - seems to be good for the HW division
                  Overall I think dominant or flashy, KO power, P4P champions are usually good for boxing and attract fans to the sport.

                    If you talking about bringing in fans obviously AJ, Pacquiao and Canelo
