Who Are The Best Known Active Boxers?

[CubanGuyNYC]

Many threads on this forum mention fighters who aren't well-known to the general public. Members will often cite a boxer whose name isn't famous enough to draw interest in a fight. There have been many times in boxing history where a fighter, usually the heavyweight champ, was very well known among the general population.

Aside from Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr., whom do you consider the best-known active boxer(s)?

(You may list the names in order. You can also specify whether they're famous in certain countries, but not in the U.S., etc.)

Martinez, Cotto and the Klits. Haye and Khan are pretty big in the UK too.

Klitschkos, Cotto, Amir and Haye.

Martinez is not that well known if you ask me.

I get the impression that Haye and Khan are well-known in the U.K. Do you think the average guy on the street there knows their names?

I think Miguel is pretty well-known on the island, and among many Puerto Ricans in New York City, but I'm not so sure how famous he is outside boxing circles otherwise. I wonder if Sergio is famous among the Argentineans. I don't see him being very famous here (U.S.), although he has the potential to become a marquis name. As for the Brothers Klitschko, I'd bet they're huge in Ukraine. I don't think the average American knows them by name. They're probably known more as "those big Russian guys."

Evander Holyfield.

Do you really think the average person knows who Yuriorkis Gamboa is? Just that name makes it tough. lol I wonder who's better known among their fan base. Yuri in Miami, or JuanMa in P.R.?

Juan Manuel Marquez

[War Dinamita]

Cotto, Kilts, JMM, Khan, Canelo in Mexico and he's starting to become popular in the US, etc.

Evander Holyfield.

Oh, man...I think we have a winner! lol You know, Evander keeps falling through the cracks whenever "active" boxers are brought up. Everyone, including myself, seems to forget that he's still fighting!
