    It has little to do with skills and more to do with the image that can achieve crossover appeal.
    Canelo's image can appeal to a wider audience than the Klitsho's, Kovalev or Fury.
    The only one matching Canelo's crossover appeal is Wilder.

    Look at Calzaghe and Vlad who had little to no crossover appeal but still made millions of dollars and were protected for a long time. :yep

    Remove the very low level fury and add in elite kovalev and you have 4 of the current best

    Povetkin and Tyson Fury vs Firtha says different. Fury was rocked hard by Firtha and Povetkin went the distance. Wilder dispatched him like a piece of toilet paper.

    I don't think boxing will have another crossover fighter.

    Wilder was also rocked by a Firtha jab, so bad example.

    Kovalev. The only with with both talent and charisma. Gigi is too old.
