Who's the current poster boy of Boxing?

[Mr Objecitivity]

If Vasyl Lomachenko really wants to, then he would and could become one. Otherwise, it's Anthony Joshua ATM.

[boliodogs]

I don't think there is one but Canelo would be the closest thing to one.

winner of Nelo-GG rematch

Terence Crawford

Santa Cruz

winner of Wilder-Joshua fight

I would personally say Anthony Joshua.

After the Mayweather era, in which people within boxing loved to hate him, his non casual friendly style, the "Money" persona in which he played the heel role to maximise earnings, etc. I think that Anthony Joshua is the poster boy that not everybody wants, but the one the sport of boxing NEEDS.

Dude is a heavyweight, he's mind mannered, well spoken, articulate. He remains disciplined, has a clean cut image, doesn't use the whole brash, c0cky black guy angle, etc. He may not give controversial sound bytes, and may come across as "bland" to some, but dude is like apple pie - wholesome, and we need a wholesome boxing focal point.

AJ is not good enough...plus he's a dope dealer.

[Kigali]

Joshua at the moment easily. If Terence Crawford had a personality he could be a superstar and the closest thing to the next Mayweather. Canelo not that well known by the casuals. Americans will have to hope that Shakur Stevenson keeps bringing the goods, he has the best chance at super-stardom in the future

What kind of personality does AJ have??
TC is actually better than AJ

[BodiesInFlight]

casuals in america have no idea who AJ is.

probably canelo. hes gotten a ton of exposure.

casuals in the UK have no idea who Canelo is.

probably AJ. hes gotten a ton of exposure.

Ok, so who?

[anonymous2.0]

Canelo could be if he learned how to speak English.

But AJ is the guy, heavyweights always have that special schezuan sauce about them and AJ is still sitting nicely on his win over Wlad.

If Canelo was american or speaks English quite well i would have said him but like a lot of people are going with Joshua.

[GhostofDempsey]

I would say Canelo at the moment, but that's not by a big margin. Right now, no one really stands out as a polarizing figure in boxing. With a few more fights I think Loma, Spence, or Joshua have the potential to rise to the top of the heap and stand out above the crowd.
