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.

yeah he isnt that popular everwhere but for some reason a lot of people in the UK like tyson he got more fan mail from the uk than in america.

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
