    OSCAR DE LA HOYA

    sorry if I made an ass of myself, I didn't read anything on ths thread other than the title

    Also depends where demographically you're asking.


    In Philippines, Pacquiao is x10 greater than Tyson was in US.
    Hatton - England
    Calzaghe - Whales
    Trinidad / Cotto - Puerto Rico
    Klitschkos - Ukraine
    Chavez - Mexico
    Peter - Nigeria
    Valuev - Russia

    I mean, I can go on and on....

      maybe to boxing fans and fans in america but i asked everyone in my office at work and none of them know who oscar is, tyson was known in almost every country in the world guys like pacquiao trinidad chavez peter are just not that well known in western europe, even hatton calzaghe are probably not as well known in the uk to non sports fans as tyson is.

            Ike ibeabuchi could have been the next tyson not saying he would have, but his style was exciting to watch and i remember a lot of people where getting real excited by him at the time i think he could have been big if he would have turned out as good as he looked but we will never know. i am sure that in the future there will be another great heavyweight, someone could be out there at the moment ike was completely unheard of then suddenly he was the next big thing so it could happen at anytime.

                I agree.. but Tyson made some of his fame from ****, getting busted, biting ears, facial tattoo, and other out-of-the-ring **** he did, which made media
