    Vitali has a good legacy, fought a great fight with Lennox Lewis and managed to be very dominant outside of that.

    Wlad's legacy is pretty weak, getting embarassed by Corrie Sanders is still the most memorable moment in his career, and he doesn't have many stellar names on his resume.

    :yep:yep
    Hayes is not more well known then the klitshcko, i work at an international port, i ask the russian do they know the brothers, yes, i have asked asian from countrys like mymar if they know them, an some say yes, not all, yea they know tyson more, but six more years that can change things alot. But when i talk to the russians, i says hayes name, maybe one, an that is the one who follows boxing knows his name. I was at the khan fight, an told the person next to me, hey that is hayes an pointed to him, an the person said WHO. Maybe in england he is more well known, but not anywhere else

    PS,,,,Ali, tyson, jordan, those are the biggest names in sports

    Ahhh thats interestring to know!

    I have alot of mates in america and they all know who Haye is not all of them like him but they know who he is.

    I expect your russian friend to know who the bro's are :D

    And yea your rite ALI, TYSON ETC are the biggest names in the sport but are the klits? Well im going to yes they are big names in the sport they have acheived what tyson etc have so why they not as well known? Its down to personality i feel if you look at tyson he pulled the crowds in with his in the devil personality and haye has taken the same path not as bad hahaha but same path! The bro's are so reserved thats why they will fade away with history

    About the only people in America that even know haye exists are boxing fans, and mainly because of his use of the Klitschko's name. More people will be able to reconginze the Klitschko name because of their coverage on ESPN and HBO and their longevity as champions. Something few fighters have been able to do for as long, in any weight class. Plus they have fought here in the states several times.

    Wlad a couple of times in NY with one stinker; when Ibragimov ran. A few in Atlantic City where he had a decent fight against Peter. And some in Vegas.
    Vitali has fought a few times at the Staple center in L.A. and has a very big following there, and at MSG and Vegas.

    Haye has rarely left the Island besides when he was 2-0, 4-0 in the states at the playboy mansion and Miami when he was nothing but a novice. and when he fought Valuev in Germany. They haven't even tried to attempt to show his heavyweight fights yet. And he has a paper title. I think , and I could be wrong; but the only time he was on TV here was against Enzo Mac. on Showtime.

    This is purely for recognizably factor . I could care less where fighters choose to fight unless I was bent on attending. It's their decision to make, for whats best for their pockets, fan base and attendance.
