Third most popular active boxer in the world?

[RichCCFC]

1 & 2 are obvious, Mayweather and Pacquiao or however you want to order them.

Who is 3? Potential names - Wladimir Klitschko (The Heavyweight Champ), Amir Khan, Miguel Cotto... who else?

I don't know how Cotto and Wlad's popularity compares. Seems like they are next after May and Pac.

Canelo or Wlad I'd say Cotto, Khan and maybe even Hopkins are close Hopkins has had to gain popularity fighting all those years

Khan is very popular top contender for #3 spot I reckon.

[Ivansmamma]

Probably Cotto if you go with US and Klitschko if you go with Europe.

Canelo closely followed by cotto

[dc3383]

Canelo is easily #3

[Weebler I]

#1 Zou Shiming (Chinese population, other Asian countries)
#2 Amir Khan (continental crossover)
#3 Carl Froch ("international superstar")

then the rest.

Wlad, Canelo, Khan.
