Is Floyd a bigger star than Mike Tyson ever was?

[Kuyukut]

come on comparing fraud jr with tyson is like comparing a rotten pc of chit (fraud jr) with an 18-ounce juicy prime rib.

better comparison would be fraud jr and andre berto.

now thats just a down right lie

It is around that figure


Remember most top national boxers are national icons in their home country, not the case with Mayweather.


Guys like Marciano, Frazier, SRL, Duran are more known than Mayweather.

Mike Tyson is like a proverbial name. Even people remote from boxing know his name. Like Tyson himself said once - he could jerk off in the center of the ring and still draw full stadiums.

I'm not buying a ticket to that.

Really simple question and I’ll add a poll too

Not even close to Tyson's level of fame.

Mike Tyson transcended the sport of boxing at a time when it had a much higher profile to begin with. Everyone knew him, even the people who would never think of tuning in to a fight. That's before his life outside the ring spiralled out of control or incarceration etc.

Floyd's never got anywhere close to that level of fame/infamy.

Mike Tyson is easily the more famous and recognizable of the two; Hands down!

you are a bit too late anyway.

Worldwide I would say Pacquiao is more known than Floyd.
Plus there’s a generation that know Mike Tyson’s punch out that may have not followed him as a boxer.
That game was huge worldwide.
Tyson is more we’ll known by far than Mayweather. A heavyweight with highlight reel KO’s in an era when boxing was a mainstream sport is going to be more well known than a welterweight who beat guys but didn’t destroy them.
