I say DLH. Who do you think?

Well, according to the Ring mag, its not the heavyweights. In one of their past issues, they had Pacquioa, Gatti, and Dela Hoya carrying boxing right now.

ODH, even though he's considered the face of boxing more cause of all the things besides boxing he accomplished that got his face everywhere.

Miguel Cotto will be..his learning to speak English, got devastating knockout power and his chinny enough to keep fights entersting but not enought to get KO'd

The face of boxing today is currently De La Hoya, but he is 2 fights away from retirement, in all actuality. Right now, I don't think there is going to be one dominant personality in the sport like was the case with Ray Leonard or Muhammad Ali. Now, with the ecclectic ethnic mix that occupies the pound for pound list, I think there will be many faces that share the limelight.

Current pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr has the inside track on claiming the throne with his incomparible skills and unblemishd record. His ****iness and Olympic credentials also don't hurt. However, he isn't fighting competitive fights and has frequent runins with the law that hurt his image. He can become a major star if he cleans up his image, but don't expect that anytime soon.

Manny Pacquiao has single handedly created a Filipino/American following in boxing that is rapidly becoming a major field. He is already a major star in the Philipines, so he has some appeal there as well. Amir Khan is another possible cross over star. The 2004 Olympian from England is a wondrous talent and has the charisma to appeal to the masses. Jermain Taylor is also a guy who has quickly become a major player in the sport with his recent fortunes. Its all about personalities, and thats what sells.
