Forum Poll
I realize that there are other top fighters out there with volumes of fans, (RJJ, Hopkins, DLH, Calzaghe, etc) the ones mentioned in the poll are probably the biggest and it would probably be pointless for others to compete in this poll.
So who's YOUR #1 boy?!
The question should be, whos fans would most likly folllow there fighter half way round the world to see them fight...I think we all no the answer Hatton!! Its not just Hatton but any British fighter doing well..British boxing fans will back there fighter...No other fans can come close!!
It really has to be Pac or Cotto. Pac has the president of his country flying in for his fights. Cotto also is rediculously popular amongst PR's and I would imagine that he has a good amount of other spanish fans.
So while UK is bigger than PR or Philipines I think that Cotto and Pac have a higher fan saturation rate.
there seems to be a very big mayweather fanbase in people who know nothing about boxing alot of people i know dont really know any other current fighters
Not a chance...PACMAN
Hatton by far, who else has his kind of following in the boxing world??
Oscar couldnt bring thousands of his fans to the UK to see him fight there.
Hatton by a long way.
If the filipinos had money theyde do the same as Hatton fans for for Pacman. Pac man has the WHOLE country behind him. Imagine if a 10th of the phillipines bought tix?
Pacman by a landslide.
You dont see Hatton chillin w/the prez on the regular do ya? Did Hatton do a album? Nope nope...
I voted for pBF
Pacquiao is not the best boxer on that list - but he's damn exciting. As far as fan-bases go he has an entire country rabidly following his career- no other boxer can say that. The entire Philippines is for him.
I"ll give some love to Barrera. The way that he changed his entire fight plan and style to soundly defeat Juarez was pure gold. Not many boxers can change their entire styles and be good at it like Barrera.
I'd say Hatton out of those because his entire country supports him. Pacquiao and Cotto's fan bases are so loyal it's crazy, but they just can't compete in terms of size, I don't think.
Did you read any of the posts other than the thread title (which I guess is missleading) :kabong:
I guess this poll is useless :grumble:
I was just about to say the same thing. Maybe you should make another one because its obvious that they didnt vote for there favorite guy. I did and I voted for Floyd. Maybe you should make another thread with a poll and add in what I wrote in post #10
Again guys, he's asking who is "your" favorite fighter. I can see why I was confused but you guys should be getting it by now. Who is your favorite fighter and whoever has the most votes is then deemed the most popular, atleast as far as this form goes. Thats what he meant
I would say Cotto or Pac. However I could only vote for one so I voted for Cotto.
The reason being that Cotto is the most popular boxer in a country that still has boxing as its #1 sport. Boxing in general is consistently front of the sports sections in PR newspapers. Leading up to big fights you'll see boxing on the Very Front Cover of Newspapers.
