    Ali>>>>Tyson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mayweather.

    To the dicks going on about PPV, you do ****ing realize that all the big fights were on normal tv back in the day, Ali was the most recognized face on the WHOLE ****ING PLANET, Mayweather is nowhere ****ing near the level of fame.

    This is just the way it is.

    Think Sugar Ray Robinson -- recognition-wise -- would give Ali a run for his money. No hardcore fan doesn't put SRR at the top of his list.

    I'd say Tyson. Half the people who say Ali never even seen him fight.
