    That conviction was a travesty I know people that were at that pageant & saw how Desiree fawned over Tyson. All he did wrong was he didnt vote for her & she didnt win like she thought she was going to

    Joshua, closely followed by Fury in Europe now I'd say. Fury has gained a lot of ground on AJ recently maybe even caught him.

    I hate Canelo and Oscar, but it's easily Canelo. I imagine it's probably AJ in the UK, but everywhere else it's Canelo. AJ isn't that far behind, but he's definitely behind.

    Saying Pacquiao is the face is reasonable -- I'm sure more people would recognize him globally than either Canelo or AJ -- but I feel like he's the past now, despite not being retired. People don't think of Pacquiao and modern boxing, they think of Pacquiao and boxing of the past.

    How big Is Canelo in the states? Genuine question because bar the boxing fans, no one knows Canelo in the UK. Also the lad's not exactly charasmatic is he?

    Toss up between Joshua and Fury surely? I'm going Fury after the Wilder spanking since he's more a household name in the US at the moment although I could be wrong?

    Without having looked at the thread I, rightly or wrongly, came up with the same two names as OP.

    Before his loss, I suppose Wilder had an argument on account of being from the US. Maybe in East Asia, Manny P is still the man?

    He aint caught him.
    You see AJ on adverts and has sponsors. Not so with Fury.
    In terms of being a "face" AJ is still some comfortably ahead. Fury certainly has made up some ground though. But I have little doubt that if you did a "name a boxer" poll in the UK, AJ would be most people's first thought.

    Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury of course

    He's the ''King of the Gypsies''

    ''The Baddest Man on the Planet''

    The king of boxing's glamour division

    The sport's cash cow

    And combat sport's highest paid athlete over the course of the last year, earning a staggering £46 million

    Fact is if you need some smokes on D Wing you gotta come see Tyson Fury

    Clenelo and AJ have about as much personality and charisma as a mannequin, whereas Fury literally has an unlimited supply of both
