Canelo is a good fighter, he's Mexican that tries to be slick brotha style . I don't like him, but I respect what he did on saturday. Ggg won and poster boy gets to shine on. That's boxing, it's sad cuz u actually expect those results.

Anyway Joshua's stadium fights to some cheap tickets at £40. Canelo's stadium fights do tickets at $40, which is cheaper than £40. Actually Canelo v Kirkland had some ticket prices at $10 lol. You would barely be able to buy a beer at a Joshua fight for $10.
Joshua's fights in indoor venues like the o2 will be similar to an indoor Canelo fight too.
Anyway i'm no Joshua fan. The point i was making was that neither are global stars. They're just stars in the countries they're from or fighting in and that's about it.Last edited by bigdunny1; 09-19-2017, 05:50 PM.

Just be happy the sport is in good hands. I was a little worried after Floyd and Manny were winding down their careers, but boxing will be A OK worth Canelo, AJ, Spence and the like leading the way.

My point was that neither are crossover worldwide stars. They're only big names in their respective countries of where they're from or fighting and that's about it. Very few people care about Joshua outside of the UK, just like nobody really cares about Canelo here, hence why nobody watches his fights unless he's fighting someone like Floyd. Even the Canelo v GGG fight went somewhat under the radar here, Sky didn't even bother picking it up which didn't help because every other broadcaster doesn't promote the fights well enough.

Canelo is bigger in North & South America.
But Joshua is way bigger than Canelo in Africa & Europe.
I think more people now Joshua in the USA than Canelo in Europe.
Joshua is a HW which is in his favour and knocks opponents the **** out.

It's Joshua, and if he's not he will be soon. Being an English speaker is a huge boost to his profile.
Canelo's big in Central, South, and USA. Basically the Spanish speaking diaspora. Joshua is known in the English speaking diaspora(UK, North America, Australia, etc...), non-English speaking parts of Europe, and wherever his people are from in Africa(I think Nigeria).
