Has a European Champion Ever Transcended to Stardom in the United States?

The Klitschkos?

Never been accepted by many in the US media or by many American boxing fans.

Most Americans generally only like African-American boxers. There are a few cases where they will accept a boxer from another country as long as he's not white.

The Klitschkos, Hatton, Calzaghe, Dariusz have generally been ridiculed and discredited by American fans and media people.

That is a crock of shit, sir! I don't like the way Wlad or Calzaghe fights but, but I certainly appreciate what they accomplished. I don't like the way Hopkins or Ward fight, but I appreciate what they have accomplished.
The one fighter I despise is an African-American, but I still appreciate what he did in the ring. One of my strongest desires is to live longer than he does so I can piss on his grave.
Martinez was big in the US, as was Hatton. GGG could be very big if he keeps winning, and the sky's the limit for Kovalev if he gets past Hopkins.
The American boxing media criticize and point out, what they consider problems, with all fighters; weak records, weak fundamentals, weak chins, weak punching power, and lack of amateur experience. I usually appreciate the information.
Anyway, I think you are very constipated. Magnesium citrate will help, read the instructions carefully.

I guess the consensus is Lennox Lewis, which means that if GGG became a huge star, he would be the first non-heavyweight to do so that we can come up with.

The only European champion to make it big Lloyd Honeyghan.
