    people would Pay $5000-$10000 for a front row seat to watch Tyson KO someone in 45secs and not have a worry in the world about it!

    i think in history,ali is the biggest name ever

    think about when he dies,its going to be a national holiday,it will be like elvis

    also if ali and tyson were on different sides of the street who would u rather walk with? exactly

    Ali has turned totally irrelevant now as far as his present life, when he dies it won't get much media attention

    typed both...First 6 were Mike Tyson with "Tyson", first 4 Were Muhammed Ali with "Ali". Not really sure what that proves though. Anyone born before 1970 will probably say Ali, anyone after, Tyson.

    Marquez? go ask the girl working at 7/11 if shes heard of him lol. I bet every non-boxing fan knows the name Tyson and maybe Ali.

    No way is mayweather anywhere or even near being a household name never mind being a global icon. Pacquiao's name is now more prominant in this modern era seeing he's now a politico so will get main stream coverage. Ali/Tyson are the global names from eskimo's to arapaho's, from Sudan to Japan. Mayweather would love that iconic status but he'll never achieve that. When he's gone he'll be forgotton as he'll have left no legacy.

    Ok...


    ALI is who MOST Fans call the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. He is the 1st face of boxing IMO. Look at all the video games over the Years

    1. Knock Out Kings
    2. Fight Night

    He was the face on those games for how long? and Im not saying a Video game is the reason he is huge, but thats how they marketed those games and they have done quite well. all his classic fights smokin Joe, foreman. He was a bad ass!

    Mike Tyson- also had ( Mike Tysons Punch Out) The Youngest HW champ ever, probably the most Feared fighter ever. Dominated the 90's (Until he married that ****, and **** charges). PEOPLE (not fans) but PEOPLE went to his fights Just Because of his ability to KO someone in 10 secs.

    those are the 2 faces of boxing 4 EVER!

    Now its Pac and PBF
