Who are the most famous non-American fighters of all-time?

Oh yeah i forgot about John Mugabi who was pretty popular in the US before he fought Hagler.

 

Luis Firpo has a major football club named after him in El Salvador, and football's no small deal there.
That's fame.

NOTE FOR AMERICANS : "football" means "soccer".

 

so you did d'oh.i'd forgotten that the thread said non-american

 

Bob Fitzsimmons, Manny Pacquiao and Roberto Duran were the first ones to come to my mind. I know there are many more.

 

Joe Bugner

 

These guys come to mind from the past:

Primo Carnera
Marcel Cerdan
George Carpentier
Kid Gavilan
Louie Firpo

 

Is Schmeling a lemon all of a sudden? Wow, well I'd start the list with him. Then...

Carnera
Gavilan(not sure if many people know who this is)
Monzon
Duran
JCC
Lewis

 

Joe Fitzsimmons
JCC
and the PAcman

 

:huh

 

sorry.... BOB .... hahaha i was watching a highlight of Joe Frazier, hahahahha sorry

 

I should hope Schmeling is just as popular as ever, anything less is a real damn shame.
