Who is more famous worldwide:Mike Tyson or Michael Jordan?

[bojangles1987]

Tyson, but I think it's closer than most would guess. Jordan became a worldwide star on the Dream Team, and basketball has become more and more popular worldwide since.

Here in the uk if u mentioned Jordan, people would think of an entirely different creature, aka Katie Price

[Allegedly]

Tyson, worldwide.

World Wide, Micheal Jordan, even USA wide Micheal Jordan.

A better comparison would be ALI or Jordan

Aint no comparison between Ali and Jordan. It's Ali. You Americans thinks worldwide sport is like US sport lol. An awful lot of people in the UK wouldn't know who the **** Jordan is by name and definitely not by face. They all know Tyson however. Seriously, if I started throwing names like Lebron, Kobe and Peyton Manning people would be like dafuq? Worldwide, people like Lionel Messi are more well known than people like Lebron James. This is justified though because Messi is probably the best sportsman in the world atm. People like Federer and Nadal are more known. The list could go on and on. You have to consider that the US is unique in its sports really. Jordan is a unique case and is known worldwide but not as much as Tyson (especially by face) and nowhere near as much as Ali.
