there is no doubting cotto's abilitys as a boxer -but he ain't exactly got it on the mike. look at the list from the original poster - these are all guys who could talk the talk so to speak. (ok perhaps not tyson but he had don king to do it for him i guess?) look at the most famous boxer of all time - ali - his promos are stuff of legend. So my point is to be a mega star boxer - you have not only got to shine in the ring but also on the mike. there will be loads of people out there who ain't got a clue about boxing but will buy ppvs just to see floyd get beat cause of all the trash he talks.

Tito was no verbal genius and look how popular he was.....

As far as anyone who appeals to the public outside boxing like DLH or has made himself known to the public like PBF has (Mostly due to wrestlemania and his P4P ranking but still not a known name to the common fan)...It is hard to say...at the moment I really see no one being a face for boxing to the masses so to speak.....The names I mentioned I was speaking as superstars within the sport only
