Out of all the names in the division, Although Bradley is the longest reigning and most acomplished like Max Kellerman said, Ortiz has the Hispanic support, Alexander is the now disgracede St Louis Southpaw, Maidana is the Argentine no-prisoners slugger, I believe Khan is the biggest cross over star out of them.
In todays boxing world, Boxing superstars are expected not just to be great fighters but great at other things and having cross over appeal, Manny Pacquaio has politics, Music to backup his fighting and is a national icon, Mayweather has his money, promotional vehicle, dare I say it dancing with the stars!
I think after Pacman and Floyd, Khan has the most crossover potential, Exciting fighter to watch because of his speed and his problems with massive punchers, Good looking ( Not gay but he defo looks better than Bradley/Alexander/Maidana) and he benefits from the Pacman connection and he is from what I can see massive in the Uk to the extent that almost every person on the streets know who he is.
Ofcourse, Oritiz was meant to have all these key ingredients, Ie the looks, crossover appeal but I believe that Khan has replaced Ortiz as the next superstar.
So out of the 140lbers who has the most crossover/superstar potential?
Here is my pick:
