    In popularity?

    Yes I agree.


    but maybe they equate their RING accomplishments.

    PAC dwarfs Tyson and Oscar on that.

      Tyson had lennox and Holyfield

      DLH had Trinidad, Mosley, Pac, Hopkins and Floyd

        I'd say since Mike Tyson. He was a cultural phenomenom during the late 80's and early 90's. He single handedly made the HW division relevant, he had his own video game...Dude even gueststarred on Webster!

          lol at ***** being the opening act for the star of the show when Pacquiao only got 10 of the 60 minutes

            Deal with it. If it was Floyd in this article, you'd be claiming he has been the most relevant figure ever.

              A true American hero...

              The TS is a true warrior for being able to post that, even with a Manny Pacquiao action figure shoved a foot up his @##. Guess one gets used to it after a while.

                Pacquiao transcends sporting world

                ...`Pacquiao – Congressman Manny Pacquiao, to those in the Sarangani province of the Philippine Islands – has become not only the best boxer in the world, but also the most beloved since Muhammad Ali.`... - Yahoo Sports

                So would you say Tyson, Oscar and even Floyd was more beloved?

                I see no word stating relevant in the title nor the article.

                      Lol De La Hoya, Tyson, Chavez, Leonard... None of them were relevant?

                      There was actually a time when Tyson was the only name spoken in sports. Ur gonna tell me Pacquiao has that?
