One thing your missing. Over 80% of american's are white, and there has not been a white american heavyweight champion since Rocky Marciano. although noone likes to admit it, race still makes a difference in the usa. (see Gerry Cooney)

Even with his predicitble style, had Klitschko been born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, he would be a mainstream celeberty like ODHL.
