    In North America:
    Hopkins (boring, but has a fan base none-the-less)
    Pavlik (was going towards really big star status when Hopkins derailed that - for a while at least)
    Taylor (still quite big and well-known in the US)
    Oscar (not what he was around the world, but still quite popular with US-latinos)
    Cotto (like Pavlik, looked like he was aiming to be very popular especially in the latino community, but since he is not Mexican, his fans are there one day, gone the next)
    JMM (not really that popular, but he is just a win against Pac away from being perhaps the most popular fighter in latin-america)


    In europe there are:
    Hatton (big in the UK and the US)
    Kessler (far the biggest in Scandinavia and big in Germany etc as well)
    Calzaghe (probably the biggest name in European boxing)
    Abraham (big in Germany)
    Wlad (very big in Germany and most of Europe - well the world)
    Vitaly (big in Germany and the world)

    The rest of the world:
    Pac (popular in the Phillipines, Thailand and Central-America)
    Peter (somewhat popular in Africa)
