    He just beat Canelo, the face of boxing. Thoughts?

    Crawford is probably bigger than Usyk now, even though Usyk is p4p #1. But if we re talking about numbers Tank is bigger. He just puts more butts in the seats and gets more viewership.

    I reckon he is now.

    He'd be the A side against anyone

    Yes and if anyone - Jake Paul is the face of boxing.

    What else but recognizability in assiciation to boxing could it mean. Who trumps Jake Paul?

    He could be, but he needs to fight more than once a year. I'm still not sure he can fill a stadium on his own against a no name, or sell a bunch of ppv like Canelo or Joshua could.

    My barber was talking to me the other day about Jake Paul & Tyson fight.
    So naturally before the Crawford vs canelo fight on Netflix i asked who ya got?
    They heard of canelo never seen him fight & didn’t knows who Crawford was.

    I don't think boxing when Jake Paul is mentioned. I don't understand how others do.

    That is a label placed on way too many people because they had just got out of the ring doing something that they are supposed to do.

    Ryan Garcia was call this. Tank was called this. I've heard some idiots claim Jaron Ennis was this after beating Dulorme.....lol. From a community that constantly throws out the term "casuals" as an insult when a fan gives a statement that's flawed and lacks logic pertaining to the sport.........It's ironic that this "Face of Boxing" label is used so loosely.

    Theres no one face to boxing these days, imo.

    Closest thing would be Canelo. That doesnt change just because he lost. And crawford doesn't become it just because he won.

    Canelo
    Usyk
    Crawford

    Share that position, imo.
