    Floyd "Money" Mayweather

    Has transcended more than boxing he has transcended all of sports. He goes to a basketball game and people come to him. He goes to a restaurant and people flock to him. He goes to the U.K., FANS!!! Japan, FANS!!! Africa, FANS!!!

    He is retired and people can't stop talking about him especially on ESB, BN24, MMAWeekly, Yahoo Sports, Thunderdomeboxingtalk, Donates Boxing Nation, etc.....

    Calzaghe is more commonly recognised as the GOAT and rightfully so,.

    Like you know anything about anything. Since it's a multiple choice poll, I voted all.

    Except Tyson Fury.

    Take that to your haberdashery and sell it.

    By the way I voted for Amir Khan because of his constant pandering has made him famous in multiple countries. A lot of Middle Easterns where I live know about him but know nothing else.

    Right now I saw Khan and Froch. Though Khan is no where near as popular Froch is in the UK I would say.

    Calzaghe is known I think only in boxing circles and no one really cares for him or his career outside the UK.

    Fury is known, but most have not really seen him fight and have only heard of him through him fighting Wlad and his antics.

    Let's be honest though. All 6 of them are much bigger stars than Ward.

    Could Ward sell out 80,000 people in a stadium like Gorgeous™ George?

    Despite the fact he is easily the most discussed person on this forum, decades after his retirement, mainly brought up by Americans who are still upset that he trashed all and sundry from that country (17-0) :thumbsup

    I said boxing circles. Outside these forums in the gym or any where else no one's talking about that fighter.

    So when people are talking about the GOAT Super Middleweight, they never mention The Fighting Pride of Newbridge, Wales™ :lol::lol: If they mention anyone esle they shouldn't discuss boxing whatsoever.

    I think its Fury. Heavyweights make more headlines and someone like Fury is bound to catch some attention.

    I think that Amir Khan is the only one that people outside of Britain care about, and that's just because he's Muslim. Lennox Lewis is probably the only legitimate boxing star known internationally from Britain in over a century. You'd probably have to go back to Bob Fitzsimmons to find another. Although, if we are being honest, the only international boxing superstars ever were Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, and possibly Manny Pacquiao because of his Asian following.

    Honestly they mention RJJ, that fighter is mentioned as more of a footnote.
