    Everyone talks about who was the greatest in ring....but who was most popular heavyweight outside the ring?
    (APART from Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.....)

    (This will be interesting)

    your thoughts people?

    No love for Joe Louis?

    Honestly I'd say George Foreman. His 2nd career rejuvenation has made him a face in and out of boxing.

    why else would he still sell out and set PPV records when he keeps on losing all his big fights. PPV's don't lie

    Dempsey, hands down. Dempsey, due to him coming before the era of television, satelites, and cable, could technically be seen as more popular than the other two fighters.
