Who has more potential to be the bigger star, Broner or Canelo?

[freudianslip]

Canelo and it's not even close. Just needs to work on that English and keep winning.

[bojangles1987]

Alvarez is a Mexican in a big weight division, with a unique look because he's ginger. He'll have to really suck to not be a big star.

Canelo hands down

What does looks have to do with it?

silly comparison broner fights below welterweight and probably will for most of his career....

Canelo fights at a weight more people care about and just looks alone has broner beat

Canelo is looking like the heir to Hoya's PPV success

Both are talented fighters
As for weight, Broner will be a welterweight in three years and Canelo will be 154 or 160, both popular weight classes. Broner has already generated more buzz in boxing than Canelo. He is marketing himself as a bad boy and haters buy ppvs. Canelo has a strong mexican following but he needs to learn english to build a base in the U.S. What does looks have to do with it? Unless you're gay, or a racist.

Canelo is already something of a star
and Broner isn't going anywhere
people hae 1 Floyd, and that's enough
Broner would have to come up with something original to sell
ripping off another guy's persona isn't gonna hold up too long

Yeah, he had a sad story at the start of his career, but let's face it, what gave Oscar his fame outside of boxing were his looks. Girls used to go to his fights by themselves lol (no boyfriend or siblings). Canelo's got Broner beat in that respect. Girls go crazy for the guy already.

Sure, Broner's gone to Mexico, but people over there boo'ed him after he beat Litzau because he was boring as hell leading up to the knockout. And when it happened, he danced around like a clown (Mexicans as a culture tend to hate showboating... Jorge Paez Sr being the only exception), and fans boo'ed even harder. Plus Broner's already a PR nightmare for Golden Boy because of his racist twitter rants against Mexicans lol.

As far as being popular in the UK, I'll put my money on the Irish-looking kid capturing more fans than Broner. Same reason Hatton has more fans in the UK than better English-born fighters of other ethnicities.

Boring? boring? He knocked Litzau out in the first round how did you get bored in two minuets? This guy is aggressive, has very fast hands, slick boxer and puts guys to sleep. He's 'boring' to you because he is black. The highest paid athelete in the world is a fighter and yep he is an 'other ethncity'.

you gotta stop this crap about rascism, you gotta stop acting like a paranoid person, red k

[Canelo Phresh]

A red headed mexican that bangs junior middle and eventually middle. Obviously Canelo.

He was boring leading up to it, and the Mexican fans at the stadium started boo'ing before the knock out. Then they cheered and went crazy for him when Broner knocked him out. Then they boo'ed Broner again went he started dancing around like a clown and posing on the turnbuckles. Mexican fans don't like that bs from their own fighters either, win or lose... you don't believe me, watch the fight again.

And Floyd is the highest paid athlete in the world because he's the best skilled fighter in the world. People throw around the word "slick" like it means something. You could be slick and still sloppy like Broner or a young Judah. Mayweather is slick AND fundamentally sound. There's more to his defense than a simple shoulder roll, and quick hands. If you want to see the next Mayweather in terms of learned skill and talent together, it's Gary Russell Jr, not Broner.

Broner will be a good fighter in his own right though, but not as good as Mayweather it seems.

[JDezi4]

Canelo would be better becuz he's vulnerable enough to incorporate excitement to his fights

Broner's more than likely gonna start being more defensive once he moves up in weight and fights better opponents. More defensive, more boring

But that's just a guess, Honestly Id be happy either way
