    no, not even close. but comparing football(soccer)'s popularity with the boxing's one is not fair.

    Of course he is. Ronaldo is an ATG but as usual, athletes get better and through social media they get more exposur and fame today. Ronaldinho might have been an exception same as Prime Mike Tyson is, in terms of skill.

    As much as we boxing heads think the world should appreciae the best boxers, we often overlook something: a huge portion of the population is not interested in watching fist fighting as sport, and therefore won't admire boxers. It's just a fact, and that's fine. Muhammad Ali was the rare exception because he was so much bigger than boxing.
