Bigger boxing LEGEND: Mike Tyson or Oscar Delahoya?

Tyson.

 

not even a contest.

tyson.

 

Tyson easly.

 

tyson by way of margin...i believe that him being a big hiphop symble of raw unbridled aggresion he came from new york and was a ballsye black champ.

he is a cultural figure
oscar is just another celeb....this is not even close


if you asked a guy who was your favorite fighter the 3 answers would be

1-tyson
2-ali
3-leonard

 

Tyson no doubt.

 

tyson by a landside Tyson is the most loved villain of all time and if you ask somebody of the street to name 3 former champs 99% of the time tysons name will be said

 

TYSON!!!


When I was a kid and Tyson would fight, the world would stop. My parents friends who never watched boxing in their lives would stay up till midnight to see 2 minutes of destruction. Oscar doesnt touch that.

 

Tyson gets paid millions to dance around in a cage in Saudi Arabia. Can Oscar get that?

 

i live in engalnd and my mum is totally against boxing she is typical boxer hater in that it's a distructive brutal violant thing ect ect.butshe has never ever heard of a guy called oscar delahoya. but tyson naseem hamed, muhhamad ali, she knows about she even knows more about amir khan more than oscar...please man this thread is almost possible to go in the lounge

 

Oscar is the biggest star right now in boxing.

Tyson in the late 80s and early 90s, was quite possibly the biggest star in all of sports. He was certainly one of the biggest stars in all of sports, forget about just boxing.

Sports Illustrated is probably the premiere mainstream sports magazine in America. Oscar made the cover this year for what I believe was the first time in his life. Tyson made the cover before he was champ, when he beat Berbick, when he beat Tucker, when he beat Holmes, when he beat Spinks, when he married Robin Givens, when he lost to Douglas, when he beat Ruddock (both times), when he went to prison, when he came back, when he fought Holyfield (both times), before he fought Lewis.

 

Tyson, easily.

 

That's crazy. I wonder how many have topped that.

 

im an Oscar fan...but TYSON...easily!..

Oscars the biggest non-heavy ever.....on-heavy ..

Tyson i agree, was probably the biggest figure in all of sports for sometime during his prime..

 

Tyson's number of SI covers are nowhere near that of Ali and Jordan.

Ali used to have the most, but I think Jordan passed him.
