Anthony Joshua is the face of boxing...

[tRYSIS3]

Who the **** is Wilder to say what he should or should not do?

You spelled Canelo wrong.

There is no "face of boxing" in my opinion - Neither AJ or Canelo are known much outside of their respective countries/where they fight. In terms of active fighters, Pacquiao is still arguably more a "face of boxing" than both AJ and Canelo when it comes to actual worldwide appeal and crossover appeal. He's recognised the world over.

Canelo, the guy who's PPV sales drop by about 60% when he hasn't got a big name to face? the guy who's tickets v the likes of Kirkland and Smith go for $10 on the day of the fight because they can't sell them? that's not a face of boxing, no way. Imagine getting tickets for a Floyd or Manny fight for $10 when they were the faces of boxing? lol, never going to happen

AJ is incredibly consistent with high PPV sales and selling out stadium after stadium fight. Not known outside of the UK though.


Anyway, back on topic. Wilder's popularity is not a patch on Joshua and doesn't deserves anything close to 50%.

face of boxing for the Brits who have no idea about boxing..remember when they thought hatton would beat mayweather..delusional fools

He's known through out the world he's known in the UK for his fights against Khan and Smith And well known in the Americas and was able to have a huge gate for the his fight against Chavez . I see the point you you bring up about pac and Mayweather but that doesn't mean he isn't the current face of boxing just cause he can't sell as well but rest assure he's on his way .

That nobody watched apart from hardcore boxing fans because they were on subscription channel BoxNation. Those fights did very low number of viewers here in the UK. even his fight with Floyd didn't do big numbers due to it being on BoxNation, but that's how it goes with niche subscription channels like BoxNation.

Nobody is denying he does pretty good numbers but he is not synonymous with boxing when you ask sports fans around the world about boxing.

Unless you truly follow the sport, Canelo is basically unknown and has no real crossover appeal. Don't believe HBO, they have been desperate for a face of boxing and superstar since Floyd left them and Manny was no longer the fighter he once was. Canelo isn't a superstar, he's just the biggest active name in boxing in USA/Mexico right now, but that doesn't mean much in the current climate.

Where's Bumsquad on that list? Poor Wilder, no one knows him the poor thing. OOPS! I forgot Big Brown knows who he is

face of boxing for the Brits who have no idea about boxing..remember when they thought hatton would beat mayweather..delusional fools

Anthony Johnson is the face of cowardice
