    Do you mean as of right now, in 2014, or in their respected era's? Because Joe Louis for example was bigger than possibly anyone his rematch with Max Schmeling was listened to on the radio by over 100 million people worldwide. That's crazy.

          IDK - if you asked joe public who don't even follow boxing, they'd probably get not much further than Tyson and Ali - I know plenty of people who wouldn't have a clue who Pac and Floyd are. George Foreman might ring a bell with some cos of the grills...

          If you threw names at them they might recognise a few, but TBH it is kinda a niche sport these days

            Ali and Tyson. None of the boxers of today come close.

              George Foreman definitely, because of the grills, but they probably just think he's some former NFL player.
