Wondering everyone's opinion on who they think are the current most popular (not best fighters skillwise or P4P) boxers, worldwide. Also, the most popular in the history of boxing overall. Here are some of my ideas on the topic:

Currently:

Tyson
De La Hoya
Gatti
Roy Jones
Holyfield


All Time:

Ali
Tyson
DLH
Ray Leonard
Marciano
Ray Robinson

All-Time

Ali
Tyson
Ray Leonard

All-Time
Ali

Ray Robinson
Ray Leonard



Not De La Hoya? Interesting....the guy is mad famous and you don't get that way unless you are a serial killer or popular. HAHAHAHA you edited your post! Nice!

I'd say all time has to be Ali as nearly everybody respects the guy tremendously. Even non boxing fans are aware of Ali's achievements.

Now - Oscar De La Hoya

Ever - Ali

Well, the title states "most popular boxer" not "greatest mythical or legendary fighters"

Felix Trinidad is certainly one of today's more popular fighters.

Tyson. Even my grandmother know who is Tyson.

Naseem Hamed was pretty popular..

i think the most recognizable man on the planet has been ali for some time now. the most popular for that past little while has to be either tyson or dlh. other current notables roy jones and evander holyfield

In General and Universally, Mike Tyson is the most popular boxer. Mike Tyson is a house hold name. And with the popularity of video games during the 80's and early 90's, Tyson's populariy grew larger. Even Street Fighters character Balrog was based on Mike Tyson. In Japan, M. Bison is Balrog, but the character names were switched in the U.S. because of the similarities to Mike Tyson and the fear any legal troubles.
