      Guys like Louis and Dempsey were bigger names than Tyson from what I've seen. Ali trumps them all.

                  Ali. He has truly transcended the sport. He is not just a boxing icon but a worldwide and cultural icon.

                    It's about even steven between Tyson and Ali.

                    Youtube:"1988-03-21 Mike Tyson - Tony Tubbs" and Watch the first 10 minutes of that video to give you a glimpse of how larger than life Tyson was during the height of his reign in the late 80's.

                    It's a shame that without America's elite Heavyweight sized athletes participating in boxing, the sport will never reach the level of international prominence that it once had.
