Who are the 5 biggest names in boxing right now?

If you mean biggest draw then Mayweather, Pacquiao, Haye and both Klitschko's.

 

Saul Alvarez could sneak in there also. He is massive in Mexico.

 

Pacman, mayweather, khan, haye, canelo

Depends on definition of biggest name. I'm going on biggest draws - the guys who could fight a 50year old, overweight bouncer and still pull high viewing figures.

Pac and PBF would have 1m+ PPV hits whoever they fight (within reason).

Haye gets 800k PPV hits in the UK alone vs anybody (the fight with Harrison proves that).

Khan will normally draw above 500-600k PPV in the UK vs most opponents (McCloskey was probably much lower though due to Sky dropping out). Plus he's on HBO too, but I'm unsure of his figures on there. If he fights Bradley it has to do in the region of 1m PPV Worldwide though.

Both Klits vs any opponents generate the highest live viewing figures of any boxers, but that's because it's not PPV in Germany. And the Haye fight will be huge on PPV.

These 6 must be up there.

Hopkins is obviously a huge name, but can he still create the draw he used to on his own?

I'm a big Cotto fan, but can he get large PPV hits on his own?

Klitschko
