not necessarily the most skilled or accomplished, but who had people from all over the world from different backgrounds, from the boxing fanatics to the average joe talking about them? who do you think?
GTFOH with Mayweather. He's not in the top 50 talked about boxers of all time.
maybe its more of a time issue, given a couple more decades they could grow in fame??
however I cant see mayweather bigger than ali tbh, tyson would be the closest i think
None of us were around then, but back when Dempsey was fighting boxing was the undisputed king of sports besides soccer, so I would assume guys then were talked about more than Floyd or Manny today.
I can't believe people acutally voted May and Pacman over Ali. That guy have been talked about since the sixties. Almost every man woman and child know who Ali is.
gd point bro, i guess once pac/may retire it'll give everyone time to make them into legends..i'll re-do this poll in 30 years lol
some time ago I was holding a presentation about boxing in school.
and I started with a question...I asked Which boxer do you know.
I got 3 answers:
Tyson
Ali
and the Klitschko Brothers
