    Casual fans don't know who he is

    Jake Paul is more known.

    Tyson Fury is the face of boxing

    He's not the face in the US market as of yet. Canelo is still king,

    A couple more wins and there is no reason why he can't be the biggest name in boxing.

    I hate the term casuals but the answer is the ordinary man in the street has no idea who Gevonta Davis is

    Tank will be the face of boxing until next week when we start talking about Canelo/Ryder and then Haney/Loma.

    I have never seen a fighter who fought so far below the hype. It was like a house of cards tumbling down. He was totally out of his league and the perpetrators of his myth should be reprimanded for that unmitigated fraud. The hype was so good that I was questioning the evidence of my own mind and calling it a fifty fifty fight. Never again.

    In the urban America market he is without a doubt the face of boxing. Gervonta has a very vocal ethnic following.

    Lower weight boys only matter to the casuals when they start stacking their resume and breaking records.

    Tank is a knockout artist and knockouts get you noticed. He has a mainstream audience.

    Not No but Hell No to both questions.

    Boxing would be in terrible shape if he was the face of the sport.
