    Joshua and if he beats Klitschko then it's not even a debate.

    I'm not saying he is the best, I'm not saying he is even deserving but it is what it is and he will be a monster draw in the UK and worldwide if he puts Klitschko to sleep.

    Why does it need to transcend place of birth, no causal in Britain wants to pay to see Cotto or Canelo unless they're fighting someone from here so does that mean they're not a draw?

    Joshua is money, more people in the UK (A smaller country) paid to watch him fight nobodies than people in the US (Bigger country) paid to watch a middleweight unification a couple of weeks ago

    I'm not going to pretend you speak for anyone other than yourself. Canelo did help sell his last fight over there you know.

    When I say it transcends place of birth, that means to be a draw, one must be more than a local commodity. And currently, that's what AJ is. Now, I hope he continues this rise, because we need more HW's like him (We're stuck with Wilder fighting his 4th voluntary or something, against a maybe lower ten ranked opponent..maybe).

    Case in point, Frank Bruno was HUGELY popular in the UK. But in terms of selling fights anywhere else, he did not have close to the same level of success.

    Aj's big, but he's not there yet.

    HW's are a different animal then smaller weight fighters. People tend to flock to them before checking out some popular LW or lower weight fighter. Just the nature of boxing.

    Not to knock Floyd but his fight with Berto didn't do his usual numbers

    Klitschko Vs. Joshua will have, at least, 90,000 fans are ringside. USTV will boycott that fight, will not even show the replay, unless Joshua wins. I suspect that Vlad will outbox and either TKO or KO Joshua................in sparring Vlad toyed with Joshua and Wilder, not all that long ago............

    Golovkin is a big draw right now and Lomachenko could very well become the biggest draw in a couple years....................he is the most skilled fighter in the world today............Klitschko has skill, Golovkin, Kovalev, Usyk, give him some time.....................Beterbiev should fight Adonis Chickenson.............
