    Ali fights drew 1-2 billion viewers on closed circuit back when the world's population was under 6 billion. Joshua is only popular in the uk.

    Nah, Klitschko filled a stadium of 60,000 plus almost 15 times. If you wanna judge a fighters "popularity" by the size of his crowds, then Klitschko definitely beats him.

    To put it simply, no

    Ali and Tyson were by far much more popular

    Could it be argued that Henry Cooper and Bruno were more popular in Britain? Maybe thats better suited to posters in the classic

    I'm not even sure hes more popular than Dempsey who was a massive celebrity on the likes of Babe Ruth

    his gates are great, probably because he has been made into a star by the non-boxing community really and the BBC etc in the UK.
    Its like a 'night out' wit hthe lads when there is an AJ fight, many many people are not that interested.

    In regards to most popular of all time? NO WAY. not with mike Tyson and Cassius clay/ali. they have to be more well known worldwide.

    but currently joshua is the most popular drawing most attention.

    its the time of day joshua is shown which 'mainly' affects his audience.
    if he was on prime time 10pm like the american fights are then more would watch.
    it needs for him to fight an american in america to up the numbers. quite clearly.
    would wilder be the person? not too sure, depends how they market the fight. other than that he needs to fight floyd mayweather jr lol
