    Definitely Mike... Controversy sells, plus he has the most crowd pleasing style of them.

    Would be interesting to see who was bigger between De La Hoya and Ray Leonard

      Everyone knew at any point in time Tyson could knock you out...

      where at times Ali was fine with just boxing his way through a fight...


      More casual fans are interested in the possibility of a knockout at anytime, then someone who would be content to box..

          Simple,

          Ali.

          He could trash talk as well as anyone, plus he had no qualms fighting the best of his day.

            i dont see anyone drawing more than SRR... one punch KOs can happen at all weights, but you dont get the anticipation and curiosity of moving up and down in weight against other "legends" of their weight class etc by choosing a HW.... there's no drama in it....

              This man knows what he's talking about.

              No one had world wide appeal like Ali.

              His loud mouth made him more interesting then Tyson too.

                  This is good, however I maintain that my popularity is considerably greater. I am also prettier than Ali.
