Who else we got? My top 3 p4p Inoue, Usyk and Bivol? Lil Charlo? Devin fornicating Haney?

Not really, being past his peak doesn't stop him being "the man". Not yet at least.

Nope! Realistically Tank didn't even fight a opponent on Ryder's good quality.. , which is saying a lot about Tank's padded resume.

Imo Canelo is still at the top then Usyk, Inoue, Bivol, Fury, lil Charlo, Haney, Shakur, Loma, Benavidez, Tank

No.. it’s still Canelo.

Don't understand the question.

Are we talking pure boxing ability or mainstream star quality?

Tank can be the biggest ppv star, but he will have to win belts and fight guys every single fight… which I can’t see happening.

I really feel shakur and boots will be p4p 1/2 in 3-5 years. But will that convert to “the face of boxing”

Mainstream star quality mostly

I still think it's Canelo at the moment but it's obvious now that he is passing the torch

still canelo

tank is a star, but he's a midget who looks like a rat. and it's not actually a huge age difference tbh, only 3 or 4 years.

Is Canelo the face of boxing??? Yes no one comes close to his fan following.
Is Canelo the Number 1 fighter pound for pound??? No

Yes Canelo still has it with Tank, Shakur and Keyshawn waiting in the wings.

shakur will never be the face of boxing, incredibly skilled but has as much mainstream appeal as a paint drying competition

I was just saying the same. Although didnt Money Mayweather seem that way at some point of his career?

young floyd was much flashier and entertaining that shakur, was already a leading draw in boxing before he hit mega time following the oscar fight. more comparable to where gervonta is now. he also fought more recognizable opponents than shakur has been and had bigger stars around him to help build his profile. oscar, pac, hatton, cotto, corales, gatti, marquez, etc..........big names, some of who were ppv fighters in their own right

In terms of drawing power and fame, it's Alvarez and Fury, followed by Joshua / Wilder / Usyk / Whyte?

More people know who Canelo is than Davis.
Canelo is a Mexican hero, Davis is nowhere near as well known. Heck, that youtuber is more well known than Davis.

Somehow Errol Spence seems to still have big appeal. Especially stateside.

Has come across as a grade A ducker to me last few years. Took his his A side status and became a busunessman rather than a fighter.

And yet if he did agree to fight crawford (on his terms conpletely), its still the biggest fight in boxing.

The biggest fight in boxing js Fury Uysk. Never underestimate the draw of a heavyweight super fight. Spence Crawford is a boxing aficionados super fight, but the two heavies will draw mainstream attention.

Yer probably right. Not always the case though. Couldnt think of any heavyweight fight during the pac-floyd years that could have matched it.

Common theme though, the A-side appeared to be the one who was stopping it from happening. For Spence, read Fury, Floyd. Can see Davis being equally difficult to deal with going forward.
