    On your list - Shane would be the most popular.

    The Klits would be at the top of the list - mainly and mainly because they are Heavyweight. This is the Weight-Class that the Casual to Non-casual Fight Fan pay the most attention too.

    Nobody wants to say Floyd Mayweather so I will. Now that Dlh has retired, when Floyd comes back, he will be the face of boxing again. Pac is second, and after that, who cares...

    The Klitchsko's have not even fought in a big ppv event. When you are able to do that, that means you are popular. All of the popular champs even back to Holmes either fought on a closed circuit or ppv fight. Wlad and Vitali have never fought in the main event of a ppv card that the fans will remember. It isn't that big a deal, but the K's are not popular imo.

    Sugar Shane because casual fans know who he is, I would have said Oscar but he is retired.

    Well Mayweather has announced a come back so you have to count him. RJJ is still active and his name still carries a lot of weight

    There's a difference between who the most popular is and who the most popular is to boxing fans. Andrade and Vasquez, possibly Marquez and Mosley are only really known to boxing fans. Haye's stepping outside that bracket and the Klits are well known outside of it.

    But to boxing fans, not just experts, but to people who at least follow the game a bit, there's no way in hell it's the Klits.

    So thats what i was mean when i ask who's the 3rd most popular. I'd say Mosely or Marquez, and probably go for Marquez due to the long overdue widespread respect and admiration he's been getting on a grand scale

    PPV = mostly USA en England.

    Lets say 10 millions in Europe watch a Klitschko's fight?

    Of course, 1 millions in uSA means more popular right?
