    That's BS. Pac's early life story is just as humbling as Tyson's. Whereas Tyson lost his drive and mind later on, Pac has achieved the unthinkable in boxing and became a Congressman for his people. He's been on the cover of Time Magazine twice, something boxers don't normally get to do.

    Yes, because Tyson had a career outside of the prizefighting ring working in a respect government position known as a congressman. He must have been known around the world for being a well-behaved boring citizen instead of his boxing skills.

    and he still couldn't come close to boxing's 2nd highest PPV event ever even with the help of Oscar

    Old Record: 1.99 million purchases for the June 28, 1997 Mike Tyson - Evander Holyfield "Bite Fight".

    tyson is obviously the most recognizeable name to EVERYBODY in the world, or the highest percentage wise known. ali is second for our generation (1990's +). i would go as far as to say twice as many know the name mike tyson than do floyd and manny combined. definitely as a percentage of the population. there are so many more people on earth now than even 20 years ago, but more people knew of tyson in the 90's than they know the name floyd and manny now. go to 7-11 and ask the cashier, the 17 year old one if they have ever heard of tyson, floyd and manny. guess who's name will come up.

    :rofl I don't see how it's so hard to realize. Mike Tyson's name is huge.
    Ask a little girl in the street if they heard the name Pacquiao and there's a good chance they might have heard it.

    Now ask that same girl if they heard the name Mike Tyson. There's a very very slim chance they'll say they never heard the name

    tyson is a very mysterious being, and like a super hero, very powerful. he can snap and kill you in a split second. he is a bad dude, yet has a soft heart and his voice sounds cute...

    They even know and care more about Mike in China, country with largest population, than they do Ali.

    Pac's popularity in the US is late in coming along as he is a foreigner climbing up from lower weight divisions most Americans don't care about. Tyson, on the other hand, was an exciting young American prospect from the beginning in what was once the most popular weight division, the same division where Ali and other greats had been.

    Latest evidence of this is Pac becoming first boxer to have 1 miilion PPV buy fight in 4 consecutive years.

    I take it at least one of your two kids is a 16 year old girl who's attracted to a career or persona in what? ****, prison, cocaine, bankruptcy?
