Who is the most popular boxer right now?

I wish there could be more options.

If it's none of the above then please specify who. It will be interesting to see who is the most popular fighter with the fans. :)

All Oscar has to do is look at a boxing ring and he's back in the consciousness of the boxing public. Truly a Golden Boy in that respect.

And Bernard has, especially with his Tarver beat-down, established himself as a benchmark of sorts.

floyd mayweather, as well as the most hated

everybody that watches boxing know who he is, but to me it seems that half of everybody rates him as one of the best (if not, THE best) and the other half hates him and thinks hes the most overrated fighter in boxing today

talented...but not popular!

Floyd is a personality vacuum.

Unless you enjoy listening to him talking about........... himself.

Calzaghe has the charisma of an empty milk carton.

Good looks aside - he's as dull as they come - and his dad is a pecker :lickish:

There, i said it.

Yeah it's definetly still De La hoya if he chooses to fight again..

I'd have to agree with Oscar. That guy is one of if not the most marketable boxers ever. No tattoos, good looking, smart. That's why he's the Goldenboy.

de la hoya is probably the most popular cuz he is a boxer, a promoter, an actor a singer, a businessman and an icon for both mexican and american boxing
while worldwide you must consider pac cuz he is famous on both sides of the world
he is know in the states, in mexico, in UK and of coures in asia especially in the islands

Off this list... Pac Man

I think Mayweather is the most popular.

I'm liking Sam Peter and Jermaine Taylor right now

Whens the last time someone out sold ODLH on PPV sales or ticket sales?

There are others you could add ( I know the list allowed limits what you can post in the poll)..

Marco Antonio Barrera

Jorge Arce

Manny Pacquio

Honorary Mention--Arturo Gatti----When was the last time you heard him booed?

Oscar. The PPV revenue, his money earned from fighting, prices of tickets, and the fact that every fighter in weight classes near him want to fight him are proof of this.

Pac
ODLH
Wlad
Toney

My favorite is dynamite Brock!

Lol, both of you get cc's to counter the inevitable sc's you will be receving from Calzaghe fans.

I think DLH is still the most popular boxer. Mainstream fans make up the majority of boxing fans so guy like pacman, calzaghe, etc aren't popular in the US, aside from people like us who are on a boxing forum.

Kind of a loaded question

On this board
Most popular right now: Joe Calzaghe

On this board
Most popular overall: Ricky Hatton

In general
most popular right now: Winky Wright

In general
Most popular overall: PBF

My favorite: Jhonny Gonzalez

mayweather. i was surprized he wasnt on the list

Mayweather isnt on the list because outside of the US he's barely known. Only hardcore boxing fans know who he is. Someone like De la hoya is wellknown, also MAB is quite well known. Its not just the uk either, he's not well known in europe at all.

My top three would be -

Oscar de la hoya
Manny Pacquiao
Diego Corrales ( Just mind)

Mine are Scott Harrison and Ricky Hatton.It was Iron Mike Tyson when he was still fighting for real.

I wouldnt say Ffloyd mayweather was POPULAR, just good.
Popuar boxers, Ricky Hatton, Morales, Tyson, Lewis. Nearly every household (whether boxing fans or not) have heard these names, yet you have to be a true fan to know of the likes of Mayweather or corrales.

Oh and sorry for the probably stupid question.

But why does everybody refer to Mayweather as PBF? Surely it should be FM??

My favourites are Calzaghe, Toney, MAB and Hatton....

yeah dude it was hilarious it was like i was typing instead of talking to him in person and then he paused and looked at me kinda funny but in his eyes i think he figured it out and was like oh yeah marco duhhhhhhhh ahahha

PS: Roach is the motherfukinnnnn MAN yo!

I have to say the Golden BOy

is popular the amount of tickets you sell how people perceive you as a person, or how exciting a boxer you are.

skill wise its mayweather but he comes across as a disrepectful jackass

however combine all 3 and you cant touch de la hoya

in britain its ricky hatton
