    In England everyone knows AJ and almost everyone knows Fury. Apart from that I would say the majority would struggle to name another active boxer

    Before Google coming only few people really knew the stories of the fighters since the end of 1800 to the end of 1900.

    Only Mike Tyson is (maybe) in the same ballpark as Ali type worldwide recognition from kids to geezers, methinks.

    oscar de la hoya could be added to that mainly due to his appearance in "the simpsons" and the show's popularity.

    well I’d consider myself older
    & I know about them.
    Wish I could scrub them from my brain.

    if you grew up watching Tyson, Roy Jones Jr.
    & Mayweather.


    As a boxing fan...
    By default you have to know he these 2 Paul brothers are now.

    as Jake fought in Tyson vs Jones Jr. undercard.

    & Mayweather is now fighting Logan in a PPV event next month.

    as a fan of those 3 ATG we now unfortunately know about the Paul brothers.

    Ali, Tyson, Pacquiao, Mayweather.

    I live in the US and no one I know has heard of Wlad or Canelo. Oscar de la Hoya might have some recognition.
