Who is a bigger star, Anthony Joshua or Canelo? Poll

This isn't rocket science. Considering the US & Mexico combined have a population of over 450 million.. & both have huge (historically speaking) boxing pedigree & history. Plus Canelo fought the PPV king Floyd & is the darling of Mexico.. Boxing barely registers in Europe (other than in the UK & Germany really) & is seen as archaic & prehistoric by most societies here. Soccer, Tennis, Golf, F1, Rugby union... These are the mainstream. Other than the big stadium fights in a couple of nations once in a while boxing barely registers. Ireland, UK, Germany.. Yes there boxers have a following but even then it's mostly casuals who like the soap opera part & jump on a hype band-wagon & like the football hooligan chant/tribalism about it. Them most fade away again.. That is my sense of it anyway.

 

I thought they were fairly accurate. Khan really landed only a handful of clean shots, again the expectation were canelo would destroy him but we should had known Khan could look great for a little being so much faster.

As early as round 2 canelo was already setting him up and had took control. I've seen it only one time other than live and never scored it but Khan wasn't really landing, and landing one clean great looking shot doesn't automatically win a round when you're absorbing great body snatches.

The fmj cards had me confused, that was supposed to be in with the new and out with the hated old. Maybe I'll have to score it..

 

Cos he fought Klitschko for one & for another GB isn't Europe as a whole. I don't think he was 'trending' like that after Martin & Whyte do you?? You cannot measure his global popularity by his UK popularity. Canelo is clearly a bigger name than Joshua by miles.. & i don't even like the kid really LOL

 

Evidence doesn't seem to back that up. It seems pretty close tbh.

 

I live in Europe.

 

I can tell you that Anthony Joshua is far more popular than Canelo in Europe.

 

So what you saying it's Canelo?in boxing terms I would tend to agree with that as I don't think AJ is well known in the states like say Lennox was but that could all change.
Over here in the U.K. At least AJ is becoming well known to folk who don't follow boxing which has been the hard nut to crack of late,remember Tyson and how everyone knew the name I don't think anyone outside of boxing would know Canelo

 

Joshua

 

Who would search him by "Saúl Alvarez"?

If you use Canelo you will find it's a very different story:

Canelo is the spanish word for cinnamon, you need to search him by " Canelo Alvarez " .
