Who was the best marketed fighter ever?

Mayweather, Hopkins... boring fighters but marketed themselves to be more exciting then they were. Hopkins is a bit better marketed, he made a career of beating weltwerweights. For that matter, RJJ is a pretty well marketed fighter. THink about it. He's gotten knocked out like 5 times but still gets Jordan equipment in the mail. It's like he's working for Dharma or something

Ricky Hatton for mine. Went way beyond what is ordinarily possible for a fighter of his talent. He wasn't a pretty boy either.

oscar de la hoya

Rocky Balboa.

The best marketed fighter ever, hands down with no exceptions was Primo Carnera..............Rockin' true that!!!!!!

Chuck Davy

Oscar De La Hoya, and by a considerable margin. Top Rank's matchmaking for the early part of his career was brilliant. Fighters like Khan are trying to copy him by fighting big names who are past their prime, and often in a higher than usual weight class.

Oscar, Tyson, Ali, Mayweather, and Leonard.

ur stupid if u agree that he lost to trinidad, literally u hare retarded when it comes to boxing. and he lost to shane when he was on substances. as wack as ODLH is he was a very good fighter. dont hate man. plus he gave mayweather a run for his money. i actually think he LOST to felix sturm. but people dont remember that. Retarded when it comes to boxing??? I think not. But obviously you are. Whether or not you or I agree with the Trinidad decision, it still went down as a LOSS. It's not hate it's fact. You know as well as I do that he received gifts with Sweat Pea as well as Quartey. And you're right, Sturm also. So please explain where the hate comes from.

speakin of benavidez, what's this about loaded gloves? ? u dont make any sense.

The best marketed fighter is DLH. DLH lost to BHop, Trinidad, Mayweather, Pac, and Mosley. Not to mention he lost but recieved gifts in the Sweet Pea and Quartey fights. What elite fighter did DLH beat that there was no controversy? Hell he was even given a gift vs Shaq. But if DLH came back today, he would still do close to 1mil buys. ur stupid if u agree that he lost to trinidad, literally u hare retarded when it comes to boxing. and he lost to shane when he was on substances. as wack as ODLH is he was a very good fighter. dont hate man. plus he gave mayweather a run for his money. i actually think he LOST to felix sturm. but people dont remember that.

Who was the best marketed fighter ever? I think Arum is really trying to make Jose Benavidez Jr. the next really big thing. The best marketed fighter is DLH. DLH lost to BHop, Trinidad, Mayweather, Pac, and Mosley. Not to mention he lost but recieved gifts in the Sweet Pea and Quartey fights. What elite fighter did DLH beat that there was no controversy? Hell he was even given a gift vs Shaq. But if DLH came back today, he would still do close to 1mil buys.

in the UK Hatton, Prince Naz, and Frank Bruno all had HUGE following

Obviously Oscar De La Hoya. Undebateable.

George Clonney when fighting Holmes. He was labeled the next Great White Hope jajaja, Holmes then proceeded to rape him. Gerry Cooney was actually announced second in the introduction (traditionally the champ always is) and Holmes was already champ for like 5 years. Blatant disrespect and racism. It's kind of ironic that Larry Holmes didn't seem to have good promotion himself. He was grossly underrated. Maybe thats stems from him being a douche, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a great heavyweight champ for 7 years and he deserves respect.

Tommy Morrison George Clonney when fighting Holmes. He was labeled the next Great White Hope jajaja, Holmes then proceeded to rape him. I was gonna say Morrison and Gerry Cooney as well. At least as far as fighters not really living up to the hype. Best marketed fighters most be those most well known and that would be Ali although he was marketed by himself. DLH and SRL deserves mention as well.

De La Hoya? You beat me to it.
