For example, I know like 2 f1 drivers yet it's an international sport with a much higher profile then Nascar of which I can name probably 100 drivers.
We do have weekly fights actually, we have our own friday night fights. Aussies love watching their own fighters fight and Hopkins is known by some fans but more fans in Aus would know who Green is. Most people i spoke to about Jones vs Green had no idea that Jones had even been good earlier in his career. Some thought he was a nobody so they arent going to have a clue who Hopkins is (i think Roy Jones is more famous then Hopkins).
Well then Aussie "fans" need to bone up on their boxing knowlege a bit not knowing future HOF'ers from other contries... That's like me not knowing Lenox Lewis, or, Tszyu, or Calzaghe, or the Klitschkos... That seems a bit ridiculous to me but whatever. They must think Gatti is a no heart hump club fighter... and that Tyson was a bag boy at a stop & shop somewhere as well.
