Muhammed Ali did that in 1 year knocking out ALL of his first 15 opponents?

Muhammad Ali for me. Coming from nowhere to take the championship. Perhaps the greatest upset of all time, you NEVER knew what the man was going to next, he was charismatic and watching him interact with his opponents was extremely exciting. For me, on this completely subjective matter its Ali

Ofcource, Tyson sold all his fights and became known in a year. Who else didn't wanna see a monster knocking guys out in 1 round. Not one fighter was as exciting as a young Mike Tyson. No way.

i beg to differ. a young cassius clay sold way more tickets and attracted more fans than tyson can ever dream of.

I don't agree.
Tyson had boxingfans AND causual boxing fans. For one reason, watching him punch a guys head off . That's what people want to see.

cassius clay basically trash-talked his way to a title shot, no one had ever seen an athlete act like that, and that made more people come to see him fight.
