In my area of Brooklyn, they are probably the most well-known fighters outside of maybe Tomasz Adamek.
Haye is mostly known outside of the UK in relation to the Klitschkos.
As for Wlad getting people excited, I suppose if he got busted for smoking crack and carrying a gun, that might get some dumb****s in the press and the public excited, but that is a sad statement on our society, not on Wlad, who is a classy and intelligent man.
