World's Most Popular Boxer

[urdaddyinAZ]

Wondering everyone's opinion on who they think are the current most popular (not best fighters skillwise or P4P) boxers, worldwide. Also, the most popular in the history of boxing overall. Here are some of my ideas on the topic:

Currently:

Tyson
De La Hoya
Gatti
Roy Jones
Holyfield


All Time:

Ali
Tyson
DLH
Ray Leonard
Marciano
Ray Robinson

Not De La Hoya? Interesting....the guy is mad famous and you don't get that way unless you are a serial killer or popular. HAHAHAHA you edited your post! Nice!

I'd say all time has to be Ali as nearly everybody respects the guy tremendously. Even non boxing fans are aware of Ali's achievements.

DLH just has more ppl willing to pay to watch him but we'er talking about the myth the legend of fighters....

Well, the title states "most popular boxer" not "greatest mythical or legendary fighters"

[jabsRstiff]

Felix Trinidad is certainly one of today's more popular fighters.
