    I'd say Golovkin. He seems to get a lot of favorable views on the Ring's website. Plus, only the Fl()mos really seem to hate him.

    Lomachenko a close second at this point.

    Even though Kovalev has the resume, it feels like he's at a plateau in regards to his popularity. I just feel he should be a lot more popular than he is; although, he's supposedly the most watched fighter this year (IIRC).

    Probably Hopkins. Age thing is a big factor. Foreman was huge with both hardcore and the casual fan base when he came back.

    I will probably get **** for this but it will never be a White foreign fighter among U.S. fans. It is still considered sacreligious to support those fighters over American fighters. I support E.E. fighters but I am not a brainwashed sheep and have always thought for myself.

    To be honest, not even a lot of the hardcores watch the lower weights. ****, on another site, I've posted a lot of threads about the flys and down and no one really bothers.

    Hopkins for sure. Only hardcore fans know well enough how unbelievably insane what Hopkins was/is able to do in his age.
