Third most popular active boxer in the world?

[CraigM]

I don't think Wlad is as popular as people saying he is...

I'd go for Canelo, Cotto or Khan.

Canelo may have caught Cotto. I doubt Cotto-Angulo sells close to 400k PPV's.

It's close though. Wlad has to be up there, but in a completely different and not comparable market.

Marquez has a big market in Mexico, Their are other foreigners who have big markets in their home countries.

Where are you guys getting Khan from? outside of the UK he is totally unknown he is on the level of Nicky Burns worldwide.

So he's not known in Asia, no?

[LoadedWraps]

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?

Tyson too fast Fury

[arraamis]

Is this just another feeble circle-jerk attempt to raise Khan to some level he's never been able to achieve in the ring? or is this comedy?

In the REAL world of boxing, here are your movers and shakers:

Floyd
Pacman
Canelo
Cotto
Sergio
Wlad
Bradley
Ward
Froch
Leo Santa Cruz
B-Hop
Mikey Garcia
Danny Garcia


Khan doesn't even get an honorable mention in reality ..... and no fan-generated concoctions will validate him in any meaningful manner.
