    Floyd :rofl

    He sticks out like a sore thumb in that list. Nobody in the ****in media world batted an eyelid until he fought De La Hoya.

    Evander was really close.

    Lennox got there at the latter stage of his career.

    Floyd doesn't beling in this list. Superior fighter, but he wasn't the big draw in his biggest fighters, Hatton and De La Hoya were.

    Muhammad Ali
    Mike Tyson
    Oscar Del La Hoya
    Sugar Ray Leonard
