Who Is More Popular?

Mike Tyson Or Muhammed Ali? Many people who never watch boxing or follow it know Tyson, Ali... Vote Well its hard to say because everyone i encounter who doesnt know anything about the sport knows BOTH ali and tyson. I'd have to say ali historically was more popular the only issue is in today's times (kids 14 years old and such) would have heard of tyson more EASILY than ali...(since ali hasnt fought since when? 1980 i believe. As i said though; overall i'd say ali is most popular in the ring and out of it. Tyson i'd have to say is the second most popular in the sport overall... beyond that i dont know who would be 3rd...possibly oscar de la hoya.

Ali is probably the most popular sporting figure in the world!

then what the fuck do you think ali was doing at a PRESS conference? you're the most irrational poster on these forums from what i've seen, if you knew more about them than 1 youtube video on each of these fighters you would see the enormous contradictions in each one of your posts. anyways it's ali, his influence spans generations and popularity entitles people liking you and the majority of people believe tyson to be a psycho. i agree tunney is the shitiest poster on BS. look at my signature everybody here hates here and no one takes this racist serious he gave about 20 red ks to people who said they liked ali. called him a cunt and a bum he also said that jason litzau would ko manny pacquiao LMAFAO

I would definitely say Ali, but the loudest ovation I ever heard was when I was at the MGM Grand and Tyson was introduced in the crowd by Buffer.

If he said that, he was just joking and playing up to the media. then what the fuck do you think ali was doing at a PRESS conference? you're the most irrational poster on these forums from what i've seen, if you knew more about them than 1 youtube video on each of these fighters you would see the enormous contradictions in each one of your posts. anyways it's ali, his influence spans generations and popularity entitles people liking you and the majority of people believe tyson to be a psycho.

Ali. No contest.

Tyson's a good guy, it's the media that painted that horrible aura of him, everybody that agrees with me know what they're talking about, not idiots that just verbally attack Tyson like as if they knew all the details about his rise and fall..... Well, I can agree with you on that.

why is there only two options?!!?! there should be a "neither option" as i think both are well known throughout the world. in short, i think it's pretty equal as to who is more well known. actually, i would say with absolutely no doubt that both are very well known by name equally. both are 2 of the most hyped fighters in boxing history after all. why the fuck wasn't that an option?????

Despite his personal problems, Tyson is a better man than Ali. (Tyson was falsely accused and imprisoned for a rape he never committed). Ali used to ridicule his opponents, for example saying Joe Frazier looked like a gorilla and holding up a toy gorilla in the presser before the Manila fight. He had no respect for anyone, making fun of great fighters like Patterson and Liston and bragging constantly. Tyson is someone I would like to meet, but I wouldn't want Ali's autograph. So Tyson saying that he would eat Lennox's kids is ok?

K. Ali by far and this shouldn't even be in question. He's renown throughout the World because of his Political/Religious ideologies. Maybe one could make the case for Tyson being more popular in the United States. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

You can't be serious.

Tyson's a joke. Good fighter, for a brief, brief time, but a joke of a human. Ali was The Greatest.

When Tyson lights the torch at the olympics holla at me. thats the truth. Ali was bigger than boxing. he was bigger than sports. he still is.

Tyson is a boxing icon Ali is a social icon.
