With so many overhyped "stars " who do you think has a shot to be the next face of boxing?

    There is no one that have more upside other than GGG. Unfortunately a little diva attitude from his team and a lack of will to challenge himself outside his comfort zone hinder this.

    Anthony Joshua. He is marketed perfectly. Once he whoops Wilder's ass, he's going to be the biggest name in American boxing, too.
    Canelo is currently the face of boxing.

    GGG and Loma will have to work harder for recognition as they're not American or British. They gotta follow the Pacquaio blueprint to get to the top. Joshua will most likely be the next face of boxing regardless of who he fights he's being marketed too well.

    If Ward dominates LHW he'll be the face of boxing only amongst hardcore fans

    Joshua or GGG

    Klitchko was never popular in Europe. Maybe in Germany alone and some EE countries

    I've never stayed up to 5am to watch a klit fight or even when he was fighting Euro times.

    He's never popular in UK. Only when he fought Haye and Fury people bothered

    If Canelo could manage a W over GGG, then he would pass into super stardom I think.

    Mexican, has the looks and the ability.
    Nothing would really be holding him back.

    He probably has the bones of a decade left in his career too.

    GGG sort of has Sergio Martinez problem of not coming into the limelight until he was in his 30s.

    At best he only has a 2-3 years left in his career.

    Danny Garcia has the appearance and personality of a sea cucumber.
    He's a good fighter, but will never be 'the' guy.
