Not on NSB, that's for sure.
It's a tough question, because there's no possible way Golovkin's career plays out the same way if he was a black American. So much of his popularity has to do with circumstances forced on him because of years being ducked for not being a star. This forced him to take on whoever is willing and kept him active. Along with his style that is what made GGG a star.
If he was American, he would have a HUGE hype machine behind him well before now. Would that translate to more popularity? I'm not sure.
