People who dont follow sports at all will not know who these two are. But Ali and Tyson are a part of pop culture, everyone knows them.
My GF's brother didnt know who either Pac or May are, but he'd laugh if I asked if he knew who Ali or Tyson were. They are different level.Originally posted by el*** View PostAli and tyson are probably the most famous in america. Then maybe george foreman.
Honestly the biggest coverage of mayweather and pac is probably from TMZ and their stupid ****. I mean fighters dont even do commercials anymore in america. Foreman was everywhere in the 90s, even holyfield. Foremans image is still everywhere for the grill even though he sold the rights.
Even tyson ends up in cameos in movies and ****. DLH is pretty big but way less famous. The only coverage he gets in mainstream media is when he was caught dressing in drag.

I forgot about Oscar De La Hoya, I think it would go Ali Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, then Oscar De La Hoya, then Mayweather Pacquiao.
Oscar de la hoya basically made Floyd and Manny when he fought them he transferred the mainstream attention to them.
Sugar Ray Leonard well known back int he 70s, 80s and 90s, but recent years less younger they are the less likely they know him.
Oscar De La hoya is slowly becoming less known by the younger people as well but he was big time, right now Mayweather and Pacuqiao are huge because of social media and internet, what Oscar and Sugar Ray Leonard did without internet is very difficult, Mayweather and Pac got big off him.
Ali and Tyson stand the test of time with their name and image.

In Norway boxing is one of the smaller sports there is. When I have asked people (and I often ask people about this) extremely few know who Mayweather are, a couple knows Pacquaio, everyone knows Tyson. But dissapointingly few (although some) know who Ali is, they have heard his name but can't tell you any more than that.
We have Cecilia Brækhus, the female P4P #1 - and still, news here only cover her. Of course the Pacquaio - Mayweather fight was in the news, but other than that there are seriously never anything in there.
The only other fighter the Norwegian public knows in general are another Norwegian fighter Ole Klemetsen, who kind of sucks.
So as a representation of the far North - the only two really really big ones are Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali as far as my research on the matter goes..
