Who was the most popular since Ali?

[SCtrojansbaby]

Lewis, Klit bros, Holyfield over someone like Duran? Duran was the Pac of his time. Scary following in Panama and a massive following outside too.

The Philippines are literally like 100x the size of Panama.

The Philippines are literally like 100x the size of Panama.

Kind of missing the point.

in terms of fighters that a layperson would know

Tyson(no question here. They will mention his name in the same breath as Ali)
Oscar
Ray Leonard
Roy Jones
Floyd jr
Pac

No one, outside of Jimmy Kemmel watchers and some others, know the last three unless they're a boxing fan. That's a big misconception today. Boxers aren't known by the general public anymore. The last boxer famous to lay-people was Oscar.

[slicksouthpaw16]

not at all, go ask woman did they know mike tyson the "beast" or some guy name Muhammad ali.

"Some guy" lol i think pretty much everyone in the entire world knows who Ali is. I always said that Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali were two of the most well known celebs in history. They could literally go anywhere in the world and people would automatically know who they were.

[Mike Tyson77]

Mike Tyson for sure.

[Miburo]

Tyson, followed by Leonard.

[Mintcar923]

Tyson, followed by Leonard.

Then Oscar... Followed by Pacquiao & Mayweather...
