    Mayweather & Pacquiao by far
    Then some people know who GGG and Canelo is
    Older folks remember Klitscho
    Other than that, casuals don't know anybody around my way on the jersey shore

    This reminds me of a time I was getting my hair cut & while waiting was reading a copy of THE RING, when it was worth reading. On the cover was a picture of Mike Tyson in his prime. Guy sat opposite said "I hate Tyson he needs a whupping" I said " Who do you think is capable of doing that" ? He said in all seriousness " Hulk Hogan that man is the ultimate male fighter" The whole barber shop burst out laughing the guy could not understand why. They were all boxing fans in there

    Biggest (active)name for casuals? It's got to be Canelo or Wilder. Wilder's status as an American HW champ should put him at the top of the list, but he needs megafight to legitimize his reign. The sad thing is that Fury has the skills and charisma to be a superstar, if he would just get out of his own way.

    Most still know Pac, Floyd, Canelo and AB.
    I think AB only because of his mouth and troubles

    Wlad hands down. Whole asia, Europe, australia and the whole fuc king USA knows wlad. Just accept it haters. In Europe almost noone knows Floyd or Pacman.
    So:

    1. Wlad (whole world)
    2. Pac man (USA and asia and a little bit Europe)
    3. Floyd (USA and asia and a little bit Europe)
    4. Ggg ( whole world)
    5. Canelo ( us and south America)

    When have Pac and Floyd ever not fought on PPV? Wlad NEVER sold PPV in his ENTIRE career. He got on Sky Box Office twice and that only because he fought two Brits.
    Sky used show his fights but dropped him back in 2010. NO high profile Champion has ever deafened his belts on Eurosport , but Wlad has.
    The type of HWs that feature on Eurosport are Tor Hammer , Yakup Saglam , Konstiantin Airich and Wladimir Klitschko:cbiggrin:

    Pac was never sent back to Manilia and Canleo was never sent back to Meheyko but HBO marched Wlad all the way home after the Iggy disgrace.

    Wlad was a nobody outside Germany. A NOBODY.
