    Ali was liked after he was reinstated. In Ali/Frazier III in Manilla, you can hear the Asian fans all cheering for him just as the african fans were in Zaire when he faced Foreman.

        Tyson was viewed as a freak show after his jail stint and biting Holy's ear off. But during his title reign, he single handedly carried boxing in America.

          I love how people overrated pacquiao's popularity, Its like it makes them feel good when they think he's more popular than someone else.

          He came over to england and the only people who came to meet him are phillipino who reside here or were born here, You would hardly see people who arent fillipinoes there, Mayweather came here and they had to shut two roads down because people from different cultures came to see him, Tyson came here and police had to help him into a police station for his own safety because everyone wanted to shake him.

          This pacquiao's popularity just makes me laugh...

              His post flew over your head. He said people of ALL cultures embraced Tyson like a mob while a few pinoys came to see Pac in England.

                  Ali is an American icon. He is literally worshipped by some. He was a soially conscience athlete he took his own prime away from himself, and still had a Hall of Fame career. He has had ATLEAST two major motion pictures made about his life, and I'm sure there wil be more.

                  Oscar has numbers that just, quite frankly, embarress Pacquiao, if you compare them. You could take all of the numbers from Oscar/Pacquiao, and take them off of Oscars resume, and let Manny have them, and he still destroys him.

                  Tyson made more then Manny has made in his last two fights, in his first two fights out of prison. Enough said.
