    This is ongoing debate, perhaps to some it has already been answered, but to many the question is still, "Who will be the next face of boxing?". There are a lot of young talented fighters coming up and hungry for the Throne as not only P4P, but also to be the new representative for the sport as Floyd was for quite a lot of years.

    Who do you guys think is the on their way up to that status?

    IMO: Errol Spence Jr.

    Is there a rule that says Face of Boxing must be American ? African-American even ?

    The general fighter that everyone outside of boxing will know of, even if they don't watch it.

    Perhaps at the moment, but that can change quickly with all the criticism he gets.

    Heavyweight - AJ in Europe will be next after Klitschko , I hope they will make him famous in USA too. Wilder is too questionable.
    Cruiserweight - Usyk if gets developed in the right direction.

    Otherwise : Errol Spence Jr. , Golovkin , Lomachenko for sure.

    I don't really see one yet. Canelo is close but I think his stock is falling. If GGG was 28 or 30 I could see him having enough time to make it. No one else really comes to mind. I feel like making a star in boxing is like making a solar system. You need a massive clash between two stars and then the winner opens up the landscape. Not that that is anything close to how a solar system is made.

    AJ - King of the heavies or David Price mark II.

    Canelo - will forever be ChickDucko until he faces Golovkin

    Spence - will be lacyied.

    Canelo is the biggest draw stateside. But doesn't make him the "face" of boxing.
    Boxing is in the post Mayweather era. It may take 5 plus years before the next superstar is born.

    GGG came too late

    I see boxing having a multipolar phase, with several "big names" or bigger names, such as Spence, Loma, Thurman, Garcia.

    I'm not sure why people are saying Spence. He's a very good fighter but has no personality.

    My picks:
    Anthony Joshua, Michael Conlan, Shakur Stevenson, Vasyl Lomachenko (has learned to speak good English which'll get better, TBE level fighter). No one else.

    Here in England, none boxing fans know who Anthony Joshua is. Heavyweights always get talked about more.
    They couldn't tell you who GGG an Canelo are.

    If you asked a middle aged none boxing fan to name a boxer he'd probably say Mike Tyson.

    I say Spence because he's really showing that he wants the big names with the big fights, he hasn't shown any kind of fear of fighting anyone, and he's one of the most feared guys in his division already at such early stage of his career. Aside from all that, he's my inspiration and someone I currently look up to as I try to go for the amateurs my self. He started out of the same Gym in Dallas that I'm going to, so it gives me hope to be a boxer like him, if not better.
