    If you could increase 3 fighters reputation who would they be?

    If you were a promoter and you were given to get any 3 fighters and you could raise them all the way to the top. To the top, I mean like DLH/Hatton/Chavez Sr./Pacquiao-like popularity. They would garner big money and heavy PPV draws, what 3 fighters would you get?

    Mine
    Chris Arreola: Mexican-Heavyweight, what else to say? Heavyweight is the most popular division and Mexicans are the most popular fighters, Chavez, DLH.
    David Haye: Heavy handed brit, very charismatic. If Hattons boring style sells out 80,000+ arenas imagine what Haye would sell with that KO power and exciting style, getting dropped.
    Antonio Margarito: Always guaranteed to get a great match-up even in defeat.

          Mexicans are a growing community in the US. Look at stars like Juan Diaz, Im not saying theyre 100% mexican, they are mexican-american, something bob arum used to expand DLHs popularity was the ever growing mexican-american community. ANd those fights were in golden era of the heavyweights, the lighter weigh classes seem to have an edge now.

            Mexican Americans also tend to be taller than their Mexican born counterparts. It's no coincidence that De La Hoya, Vargas and Sergio Mora are all American born. So I wonder if we'll also see more Mexican Americans competing at welter and above as the population grows.

            Edit: Oh yeah, and I also forgot to mention Mexican American Arreola
