Who is the face of boxing

[Exige Jr]

Hatton bcoz hes a brit

Hahahahhaha!

Seriously. Ask someone who doesn't follow boxing who they know?

They'll say Ali, Tyson, Mora, or Gomez.

I mean, i'm im high school, and my girlfriends' friends all know both of them. They don't even watch the show. These are teenage girls here.

he has a point... ask a random person on the street to name some current boxers and you'll probably hear oscar, tyson, holyfield, RJ and the contender guys...

mike tyson will be the face of boxing, no matter what. regardless of how much he loses, or if hes retired, or even if hes dead, he will always be the face of boxing.

Mike Tyson.

Everyone knows Tyson.

You go ask someone on the street if they know him.


Now go ask someone who is the first man they think of when they are asked about boxing. Mike Tyson.

[Sttuddahboy619]

It's either De La Hoya or Ali.

[The Troll]

Mike Tyson still is. Not the current Mike Tyson but the image of the pre Tokyo 1990 Tyson, the last truly dominant champion. Evander Holyfield is second.

i like pbf but he is not a household name. a non boxing fan dont know him sigh. It should be delahoya cause even if he is not that active in fighting like the old times, he is there in some big fights today and you can see the name of goldenboy promotions

[iron mike tyson]

pbf will never be the face of boxing because he doesnt appeal to the casual fans and not many ppl outside the "hardcore following2 of boxing has heard hes name.
in america it has gotta be either pscar tyson or ali but come to britain and all youl hear bout is hatton or amir khan , calzaghe will never get mentioned in the same sentences as these because again he hasnt fallen outside the "hardcore following". **** these 2 boxers get mentioned more than lennox lewis (cause probs bout 70% of ppl dont no hes birtish) nigel benn and chris eubank
