If 80's Mike Tyson was fighting right now, would he be more popular than Pac & Floyd?

    Tyson would definitely be more popular. The same way that he took the world by storm in the eighties weould be even crazier with things like youtube which would have shown him from his early fights tearing people apart.

    Tyson would be more popular until he met Wlad or Vitali in the ring and became a Ukranian Man Toy. Seriously, Tyson is a no-hoper against the Kitschkos.

    Tyson's personality along with his style would make him an enormous draw. I can't think of a major city in the world where he wouldn't sell out the stadium.

    If Tyson couldn't no one could! I hated Tyson back in the day and I find it odd that I am defending him but he would be an international phenom if there ever was one

    Tyson would be easily more popular than these 2 worldwide, the only reason these 2 pricks are popular is because they are the best of a weak era... if Chavez & Whitaker were in their primes today, they would be more popular than pac & fmj because they would have beaten them or sent both running scared to whatever division they could squeeze into in order to avoid the fight.

    These 2 are NOT that special, they would not rule any other era.
