Who's more famous?: Mike Tyson or Michael Jordan?

[S H A R K B O Y]

Jordan by a landslide. Jordan was more than just basketball, and still is.

[Hannibal Barca]

Little kids all over the globe that assemble shoes with the Jumpman on them.

Don't even know who he is at times.

I still say he's the most famous Athlete on Earth by far maybe EVER.

Outside of Ali. Who really you can't argue with being World Famous.

I'd say Jordan, Ali, and Tiger Woods were and are the biggest athletes on earth by far. Those three of transcended their respective sports, and Mike Tyson doesn't come close.

An Air Jordan Museum in Beijing... I mean really?

Air Tysons??? No Air Jordans.

[Spartacus Sully]

Micheal Jordan? isnt that they guy with that points thread for ever 100 post or something? why would any on be comparing him to mike tyson?

[shogunn]

jordan's logo is probably 1 of the most recognizable icons ever. behind Superman and nike.

[Mud]

Air Jordans are huge in every country on Earth.

Someone is making them EVERYWHERE.

Air Tysons??? No Air Jordans.

Famous shoes.


Boxing in the 80's was global. Tyson remained famous for so long due to rape and cannibalism.

If u dont know basketball, u dont know Jordan. Whereas Tyson was known for his infamy.


Tyson was huge in asia in his prime. Boxing was always a much bigger more poplular sport than basketball.

You only know about Jordan if you like Basketball. You dont need to know about Mike Tyson .. your reconize that name if someone mentions it to you. Tyson is known for all the wrong reasons which is nothing to be proud of.

Worldwide definitely Tyson, until recent years only Americans could even fathom saying Jordan here due to the insane marketing machine that always surrounded him.

Incorrect. Michael Jordan hasn't played basketball in 8 or so years. His brand/franchise has just as much to do with his stardom as his basketball career does. Michael Jordan is a global icon. Period.
