Most Popular Boxer of all time?

I would say Ali. He wasn't just a boxer. He was and still is a cultural icon.

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? ? ? **** you!!! :boxing:

outside america no one ****ing knows de la hoya.

LOL there are some dumb ass motha****as here saying, Leonard and Louis, bitches go eat cunt bar... The fact is the most popular ever is Ali, Mke Tyson would be next followed by George Foreman!

Hatton is defo higher on the list than Manny!

We all know top 3 are Tyson Ali and Oscar. Who would the next 3 be? one would be mayweather two...maybe manny.....maybe three....sam peter:rofl: EDIT:wait strach peter......it would be charlie Z

Some might laugh but recently hatton has a huge fanbase, and its not just brits. Hes a nice guy and he makes most of his fights exciting.

:fu2: its my list... so make your own list budz... for me he is!!! :boxing: 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.

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 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: its my list... so make your own list budz... for me he is!!! :boxing:

:fu2: Manny Pacquaio Thomas Hearns Jack Dempsey Mike Tyson Rocky Marciano :boxing: manny pacquiao is NOT the most popular boxer of all time.

... :fu2: and wait... DIEGO " CHICO" CORALES Rest In Peace Ese... thanx for the great fight especially the HEART of a LION win over Castillo in your CORALES - CASTILLO fight we will miss you man :boxing:

... :fu2: Manny Pacquaio Thomas Hearns Jack Dempsey Mike Tyson Rocky Marciano :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. 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 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.

Muhammad Ali.

shit. people were tearing up seeing ali light that torch. not too many people will cry at the sight of oscar or mike. I was one of those people.

Until one of those mentioned lights the torch at the Opening Ceremonies at an Olympics, I got to go with Ali.
