Who is known by more?

Its equal. What the hell is wrong with some of yall. Even fighting over a subject like this. YOU DONT KNOW who's more famous. You haven't been around the world. You dont know enough. You dont know if Africans know Ali. You dont know if people say someone punches like Mike Tyson. You dont know exactly. You are right. I was asking the question, I was asking for opinions and views. What I was not asking for is a "true" answer (a fact so to speak). And it does not matter who the more loved person is, just who is known by more. I got the feeling some posters are saying it is Ali just because they do not like Tyson so they do not want to give him any kinds of credit (not that it necessarily is something to get credit for -- Jack The Ripper is widely known, but not loved by many). :)

Ali is the best known sports figure in the world, let alone boxing. His name means more than Jordan's, Gretzky's, Pele's, Maradona's - anyone. Wordlwide Ali is by far the greatest.

Ali is more known and loved.

ANyone that thinks Tyson is more popular is CRAZY. :D

The Pope Muhammed Ali Pele Tiger Woods George W Bush Michael Jordan Bill Clinton Probably the seven most recognizable faces on earth. Tyson is not even in the same universe Tiger Woods is farrr from making that list. Id substitute him with Michael Jackson

this topic has gone in a different direction than was intended im sure, but yes ali is probably more well known all around the globe. he's beaten champions/contenders from all over and has fought in huge fights in asia, africa, england, germany, canada, switzerland, ireland, etc... plus you factor in the muslim background and everything...

While I never cared for Ali as a fighter, cause I don't like slappers, I have to agree Ali would stop traffic anywhere in the known world. You have to admire a man who stated his beliefs to the whole world and 40 yrs. later still believes he was right. My hat is off to him.

Well you insist on going on and I'm not that rude...you know to just ignore your ass or whatever. But oh snap! There is a show on Mike Tyson on TV, I better go watch that ;) P.S. The only ignorant person here is you. Because the majority of the people in the world have TV's right?:rolleyes: You have no idea what you're talking about in regards to this subject. That's ignorant. But telling me you're not going to talk to me anymore and then continuing to cry, that's just pathetic. You bring a nice combo of both of those things to the table.

You said something ignorant, I corrected you, and you told me you weren't going to talk to me anymore, and now are talking to me again 3 minutes later. Bravo.

Why you still talking? I told you to go fuckyourself 5 min ago. You sure are quick. You said something ignorant, I corrected you, and you told me you weren't going to talk to me anymore, and now are talking to me again 3 minutes later. Bravo.

As I said, either 19, clueless, or both. You have no idea what you're talking about in this thread. Right on par with your overall theme. Why you still talking? I told you to go fuckyourself 5 min ago. You sure are quick.

to this day ali is getting awards in foreign countrys. ali is still doing alot for boxing. when tyson was a fighter he was big, but some of the shit he did hurt boxing alot. Hey Moy, thats a cool avatar :cool: Budweiser just came out with a new spokesperson though: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/pepekaliwete/ErikaMorales.jpg

What a cheap cunt you are. Go fuck yourself you misreable peice of shit :) You prolly have 1/10th of the education that my mother has. Anyway I dont converse with cunts who insult mothers over the fucking internet....cheap fucking cunt you are Bozo, havent changed one bit. As I said, either 19, clueless, or both.

Who cares about your mother and her friend. They're obviously eithr stupid like you are, or lived in a cave. I've been all over the world, but that has nothing to do with how simple a question this is, and how misinformed and ignorant you are. There are over 2 Billion muslims in the world. That's aside from how well known Ali is as a boxer. It's clear you're 19, clueless, or both. What a cheap cunt you are.

Muhammad Ali by a wide margin. Ali is the face of boxing. As to who is liked more, maybe Tyson gets the edge because most people dont know shit about boxing.

Look who it is. Where you been mate? And how many countries have to been in? How many different places you lived in? :rolleyes: I can tell you that my mom and my friends mom wouldnt know what sport Ali participated in, they sure know of teh name, but everyone knows "Mike Tyson the boxer" Who cares about your mother and her friend.
