    You can’t go by a list like that, it’s mostly a popularity contest with the occasional old school name thrown in to try and appease real boxing people.

    I suspect it also depends on your search criteria. If you search specifically for fighter names "Verbatim" you get results like this:

    1. "Mike Tyson" = 34.6m
    2. "Muhammad Ali" = 22.4m
    3. "Anthony Joshua" = 8.7m
    4. "Tyson Fury" = 8.6m
    5. "George Foreman" = 5.7m
    6. "Deontay Wilder" = 4.6m
    7. "Oleksandr Usyk" = 3.2m
    8. "Joe Louis" = 3.1m
    9. "Jack Dempsey" = 2.0m
    10. "Joe Frazier" = 1.9m

    "Jack Johnson" was at 6.0m, but the majority of his hits will be for the American Singer-songwriter of the same name.

    Exactly. It's a ridiculous list.

    The man has never even defend his championship.

    Unless you count his invisible "lineal" title. :lol:

    This is just a list of who's been searched the most, no? By anyone and everyone. Jake Paul will be on it in 12 months time :lol:

    Well yeah, I guess it sort of measures their cultural impact...which in of itself is interesting. Joe Louis at no.3 even after all these years is pretty good...but I wonder if it would have a different list if it was in the Hispanic Google.

    I took the names of 25 likely Heavyweight Candidates and simply typed them into Google's search engine and recorded the number of hits. I was just curious what a list like that would look like. Actually, I was surprised it wasn't worse than that. It's no doubt fluid and would probably change often. This was done on 07/26/01.

    This was clearly based on popularity, name recognition and nostalgia

    Suprised to not see Marciano, either of the Klitschkos but Fury instead. 35 million fans don't know how ATG status is supposed to work.

    My thoughts are what is this showing? How many millions of times these names were searched?

    What do you mean "I TRIED" 25 names? Did you put this list together or did Google?

    Is this a list of the most searched heavyweights or the best ever?
