Most Popular Boxer of all time?

[WhoreUs]

Gene Tunney was insanely popular while active. Jack Dempsey was insanely popular after he retired. Joe Louis captured the imagination of the American people for the Schmelling fight but outside of the he was "just another ni**er" to an upsetting percentage of the population.

Want to know who was truly insanely popular? Frank Bruno. Fuck yeah. Frank Bruno totally transcended the sport.

don't you brits feel bad backing bruno instead of lennox? lol

now that he's top 5-10 atg at heavy......now you guys claim that canadian gent.

Until one of those mentioned lights the torch at the Opening Ceremonies at an Olympics, I got to go with Ali.

Muhammad Ali.

[The_Italian]

These are the 3 most popular in my opinion.
Do you agree?
I know sugar ray robinson is the greatest boxer of all time but i doubt the average joe on the street will know who he is

Muhammed Ali
Mike Tyson
Oscar De La Hoya

of all time??? or right now?

i think of all time its ali...people to this day who dont follow boxing at all know who ali is (well i've ran into some people who dont follow boxing but know ali)...

but then again many of those who dont follow boxing still know who mike tyson is...and oscar.

i'd have to say if you rate them in popularity its ali who is most popular with tyson following close behind and oscar is in 3rd.

my opinion of course.

Has to be Tyson with all the media coverage he got through his career.

Ali went through a ton of media coverage during his time.

But, it's very close between Ali and Tyson.
