Which boxer has the best fans?

i cant believe the MGM did'nt sell out for dlh/hopkins. how many can the MGM hold?

Nobody had the kind of world wide fan base that Ali had. Tyson brought a lot of people out as well, although half of them wanted to see gim lose. I think DLH has a huge following. The puerto Ricans come out of the woodwork when Tito foghts.

The MGM grand, holds 17,157 people regularly and im sure with floor seating and such it can hold a mere 20,000 people


The dlh vs hopking fight above the 14,000 mark around 14,700 I believe.

Yeah, but when we talk about Trinidad, the question is does it have more to do with his race or his boxing talent? How many well known Puerto Rican boxer are out there? Not many, so I guess it's easy to pick. There are plenty of African-American, Mexican, etc, so the fans are some how scattered (Morales or Barrera?). Just as spinksjinx say, the DLH-Hopkins was supposed to be the next Leonard-Hagler, and yet the crowd aren't as enthusiast as that on Trinidad-Mayorga. I bet you half the crowd on the Trinidad-Mayorga doesn't even know who Hagler and/or Leonard are.

But the same thing can be said to other boxing superstar. Take DLH for example, remember when this guy is popping up on movie premier (red carpet), how many of those screaming fans do you think actually are real boxing fans?

But I know that is not the question. So to answer the question, I would also say Trinidad. Also not that I'm a big Trinidad fan, as a fighter.

draw would probably have to be tito
when you go to see tito fight
you know what your going to see
hes gonna come after the guy and try to KO him
with Oscar its more of a gamble
which oscar is gonna show up the nite of the fight
hatton has krazy ass fans but who knows if theyd leave england for him
hasnt he only had fights there?
mesi has tons of fans too
they made it to vegas in big numbers
altho after his last 2 fights
Barett and Jirov i dont know if they are still as excited about him
altho they prolly are blind to the jeopardy he was facen in the late rounds of those fights
they prolly saw him dealen with adversidy and not coming up short like i saw it

Julio Cesar Chavez's fans were comparable to Felix Trinidad's.

I loved when he fought....loved how into it the Mexicans were.

R We Forgeting The 133 Thousand Chavez Cramed In The Bull Ring In Mexico. That Is 133 Paying Customers, Or The Only Closed Circuit Fight With Delahoya. I Can Say People Went To See Chavez In Hopes That His Old Body Could Pull The Upset. I Bet Anything That If Chavez Was An American He Would Of Been Bigger Than The Babe.the Biggest Sports Figure The U.s Ever Had.
