    Holyfield is more famous than Oscar

    If you go ask non boxing fans who are oscar de la hoya and evander holyfield. I guarantee holyfield would be the more recognizable name. People always say tyson and oscar are the two big draws. Well last time i checked, hoylfield and lennox lewis together drew massive numbers. Holyfield getting his ear bit is the most watched footage in modern boxing history. He has to be a bigger name than oscar, i am right, arent I?

        If you're not a boxing fan, and you live in the UK, then you dont know who the **** De La Hoya is, unless you somehow remember his name from a punk'd episode. Holyfield will always be the fighter that got his ear bit off by tyson.

        And most people in this country pronounce his name as Hollyfield.

                  Tyson is the most famous boxer worldwide after Muhammed Ali. Holyfield is best known for his fights with Tyson. Holyfield is therefore more famous (in terms of household names) than Oscar De La Hoya. Having said that sports fans know who De La Hoya is and he's the biggest draw in boxing by far.
