      Successful sportsmen often get them, but so do ordinary people who do a lot of charity work etc.

      As for Calzaghe's fame, the average man on the street would know a whole bunch of footballers before they knew him. Not that many people have seen him fight, although I think he was one of the main sports headlines after his last few fights.

      Hatton, Benn, Eubank and Bruno are all more well-known to the general public IMO.

      True that Hatton, Benn, Eubank, Bruno (and I'd say Lewis) are more well-known. Possibly Naseem Hamed, too?

      Keen boxing fans were getting to know his name around 1997 when he fought Eubank. That's the first JC fight I saw anyway.

              Boxers aren't huge celebs in the UK, outside of sports fans (not necessarily just boxing fans). The last really big boxing celeb was Frank Bruno, believe it or not. Even today far more of 'Joe Public' would recognise Bruno than they would Lennox Lewis.
