    Canelo gets a pass for him wanting to fight the best,as for weight clause and other A side stuff I don't care for it.
    Floyd's unbeaten run has had a negative on boxing.

    It looks like you are referring to the people who not even argue with someone outside of the ring. In that case you can add the following:

    Gary Russel Jr & all the related Gary Russell's

    Ryan Garcia
    Devin Haney
    Mikey Garcia
    Maurice Hooker
    Keith Thurman
    Errol Spence Jr
    Julian Williams
    Austin Trout
    Erislandy Lara
    Callum Smith
    Badou Jack
    Oleksandr Usyk

    I could go on but there are many many more. I think these fighter have had a positive impact on their fans as well as the sport. They might not all be household names, there few active boxers who are nowadays.

    surprised no one mentioned AJ, hate the fanboys all u want but he's done great things for boxing in the UK and heavyweight division as a whole

    agree with mayweather having a negative impact

    the most positive would be guys who try to fight the best;

    Pacquiao
    Ruiz
    AJ
    Loma
    Usyk
    Crawfrd

    Great fights are good for boxing. And really the only guy fighting everybody is canelo. Wilder and aj played ***** and got ucked. Bud and truth wont fight. Chakal is avoided by everybody. Bunch of belt milkers.

    CaneloWeight, rehydration clauses, catchweights, catchweights with rehydration clauses, PEDs, paid judges...

    Canelo's bad for boxing, actually.

    How exactly is he good for the sport?

    He’s fighting and literally no one knows or cares. He can’t sell a PPV without Canelo as the A side.

    Good fighter, great career, but despite all the might HBO and Dazn have put behind him he’s not even an afterthought.

    He behaves and carries himself like a true professional, very nice fella is old GGG.

    I also would say Tyson fury as boxing needs characters.

    Ok he’s a good guy. But literally no one outside hardcore fans know who he is and that isn’t good for boxing.

    Agree on Fury. Says some stupid things but puts eyeballs on the sport.

    Ruiz?

    He's seems nice but one of the biggest stories is how he won looking like that. Being obese isn't cool.

    Other than that, I like him.

    AJ is good for the sport.
