[GreatestIam]

LOL there are some dumb ass motha****as here saying, Leonard and Louis, bitches go eat **** bar... The fact is the most popular ever is Ali, Mke Tyson would be next followed by George Foreman!

outside america no one ****ing knows de la hoya.

[Flawless 2]

outside america no one ****ing knows de la hoya.

In Australia Oscar is quite known. Apart from Tyson and Ali

[WhoreUs]

Hatton is defo higher on the list than Manny!

i don't know about that......

manny is very popular in asia not just philippines but in asian countries that follow boxing like thailand , japan , korea , etc.

he has nike commercials played on tv all over asia.

i think you just think that because philippines is a third world country.

philippines has double the population of the entire united kingdom! that means double the domestic fans.

how do you figure ricky is more popular? he's not more well known worldwide than manny. manny has more fans in his home country than ricky does in his.

don't forget manny fought 3 mexican greats. that means he's well known to mexican and mexican american fans.

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

I'm a sugar ray robinson fan. But According to ESPN boxing, "The Brown Bomber" is the greatest boxer of all time. Ali was 2nd or 3rd.

Everyone knows about ALI and everyone knows about TYSON.

ALI, TYSON and ROCKY (it don't matter which one) are three names that are forever connected to boxing.

Muhammed Ali
Mike Tyson
Oscar De La Hoya

Ali
George Foreman(a household name)
Joe Louis

People forget how important Joe Louis was during the years of WWII

You can't take Oscar off that list.

You said OF ALL TIME..Oscar is NOWHERE near the second most popular boxer of all time.

[dainegerous]

...

maybe to you...but that wasnt the question.

he asked who was the most popular boxer of all time.

and its not pacquiao.

i think his list of ali, tyson, or de la hoya are the most popular of all time.

pacquaio isnt known much outside of the sport or fans of the sport other than in his home country...

fans or non-fans (majority at least) have all heard of ali, tyson, and de la hoya.

wrong budz!!!

one name was not in that list...

and thats DLH

DLH was not that so popular outside AMERICA...

do you have any idea of that? ? ?

think again...

ill go for ALI and TYSON...

but for DLH? ? ?

**** you!!!

[them_apples]

Mike Tyson by far, in many documentaries they always brought up the fact that he filled the streets up twice as quick as Ali. It's not even close..everyone on the face of the earth knows who Tyson is.

[KingTito]

I would say Ali. He wasn't just a boxer. He was and still is a cultural icon.

[Duke McKenzie_]

Mike Tyson without a fucking doubt

Right. So all those people that think he's an ear biting rapist will only serve to increase his popularity against Ali's?


Fucking NOOB.
