Most famous boxer ever?

[CarlosG815]

Who is the most famous of all time? There are a few boxers that everybody seems to know, and it seems like I hear Tyson's name everyday. Whether it be an old episode of fresh prince, a song, reference to him in a movie, or whatever.

Obviously he's my pick, what do you guys think, out of the 5 listed? If other, select that and explain.

Ever? Ali, easily.

I know people who don't know Muhammad Ali. Few and far between, yes, but they're out there. Everyone knows Tyson, even if it's as "that guy who bit that other guy's ear off." I think it's gotta be Iron Mike with Ali as a very close second.

ali wins.
if he had not changed his name, i think tyson would win easily.

Muhammad Ali, by miles. That guy was and probably is the most famous guy in the world, definetely was in his boxing heyday.

[Chex31]

Muhammad Ali, The Greatest.

In 2nd is "Iron" Mike Tyson.

[Verstyle]

Ali easily, with Tyson, De La Hoya, Manny, and Louis coming in that order.
