These are the 3 most popular in my opinion.
Do you agree?
I know sugar ray robinson is the greatest boxer of all time but i doubt the average joe on the street will know who he is
Muhammed Ali
Mike Tyson
Oscar De La Hoya
Mike Tyson by far, in many documentaries they always brought up the fact that he filled the streets up twice as quick as Ali. It's not even close..everyone on the face of the earth knows who Tyson is.
...
maybe to you...but that wasnt the question.
he asked who was the most popular boxer of all time.
and its not pacquiao.
i think his list of ali, tyson, or de la hoya are the most popular of all time.
pacquaio isnt known much outside of the sport or fans of the sport other than in his home country...
fans or non-fans (majority at least) have all heard of ali, tyson, and de la hoya.
:fu2:
wrong budz!!!
one name was not in that list...
and thats DLH
DLH was not that so popular outside AMERICA...
do you have any idea of that? ? ?
think again...
ill go for ALI and TYSON...
but for DLH? ? ?

If you are meaning popularity for the general public, then yeah I have to agree with your list, and in that order. I wasnt alive to see the Ali events, but I do know that in his day, everyone knew who and when Tyson was fighting. It was the lead story on the news sometimes, and always the lead on sportcenter. The fights were talked about on all the talkshows and all that. Tyson was a living legend. He is still one of the biggest sports icons ever.

:fu2:
and wait...
DIEGO " CHICO" CORALES
Rest In Peace Ese...
thanx for the great fight especially
the HEART of a LION win over Castillo

:boxing:
Has to be Tyson with all the media coverage he got through his career.
Ali went through a ton of media coverage during his time.
But, it's very close between Ali and Tyson.
These are the 3 most popular in my opinion.

of all time??? or right now?
i think of all time its ali...people to this day who dont follow boxing at all know who ali is (well i've ran into some people who dont follow boxing but know ali)...
but then again many of those who dont follow boxing still know who mike tyson is...and oscar.
i'd have to say if you rate them in popularity its ali who is most popular with tyson following close behind and oscar is in 3rd.
my opinion of course.
