Who was the most popular boxer in their prime?

Yeah that's now. Not when Ali was in his prime 40 years ago. Ya I know but even in their primes I vote Ali.

Well they say the 3 most recognizable faces in the world are Jesus, Micky Mouse and Ali so I went with Ali. Yeah that's now. Not when Ali was in his prime 40 years ago.

Well they say the 3 most recognizable faces in the world are Jesus, Micky Mouse and Ali so I went with Ali. prime ali would fuck up jesus christ and mickey mouse. he'd even take home mary magdalene and minnie mouse afterwards and bang them.

JCC has to be up there

On Tysons greatest hits the Japensegirl "Mike Tyson is sexy" lmao. :op:

IMO Ali was more popular past-prime (Foreman-Ali, Thrilla in Manila) I would also include Ali-Frazier I past-prime ali was more loved past prime. prime ali was hella popular. while people came to watch him most came to watch him lose. especially after he joined the nation of islam and it became public.

My list would be 1. Ali 2.Tyson 3. Hoya 4. Sugar Ray Leonard

I would say Ali a few years after his comeback, he was hated before then though. Prime for prime, I'd say Leonard.

Ali was never that popular in his prime. It was later in his career and then after he hung up the gloves that he became the icon he is. As for the question i'd probably say Tyson. Followed by Ray Leonard and the De La Hoya. Mike Tyson - "I could sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating" The next thread: "Did prime Mike Tyson have the ability to sell out the MSG masturbating"

Ali........ Ali was never that popular in his prime. It was later in his career and then after he hung up the gloves that he became the icon he is. As for the question i'd probably say Tyson. Followed by Ray Leonard and the De La Hoya. Mike Tyson - "I could sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating"

Maybe Tyson, they hyped him like a beast, but Oscar should be consider the 1st runner up.

Ali...and its not even close. He was a larger than life character who transcended the sport. Tyson was also a very hated character even in his prime. And dont even tell me that Tysons events were bigger. Have you not witnessed Ali-Frazier 1 or the rumble in the jungle

He was all-over the media in the sixties for his stance on religion and draft let alone his boxing. Hands down he should be the objective winner in this. Well, now that I thought about it some more, you're probably right. I was thinking Tyson was more popular, but that would be domestically and not world-wide like Ali was. Gee, I wish there was an option where you could change votes.

And where in the hell have YOU been, big homie? How you doing? You get any help on that thing a thing? I've been real busy trying to wrap this degree up this month. No time for shenanigans as this month is it and im done with school. Im working on the math right now, could'nt find help. Solo mission, gotta prove my worth.

IMO Ali was more popular past-prime (Foreman-Ali, Thrilla in Manila) All right. I can dig that.
