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

    I am a Pernell fan but he never had the style or the PERSONALITY to be a cross over fighter. Chavez because of his heritage would be bigger but Pac is a far more exciting style figh

    Yes definetly. The idiots who voted 'No" were clearly still in their daddy's nutsack during Tyson's prime.

    Without a doubt. Mike was a special fighter. Skills, brutality, charisma. He was a 20 yr old kid that had the world by the balls.

    Floyd is the Greatest. Ever
    I went to Vegas once and visited his Gym but he wasnt there. After he beat Cotto, I will try to get an autograph from Floyd again

    I think Mike Tyson's Punch-Out may have been more popular than Pac/Floyd

    Tyson would be more popular than both in every country in the world except the Philippines where Pacquiao is God.

    You Heavyweight Elitist. :D

    You purposely made this poll to incinerate these little guys like cockroaches under the magnitude a devastating Heavyweight Champion brings to boxing. In this case, you used the one with the greatest combination of power and hand speed, ever. If inclined, you'd even tell about how a Tyson uppercut would send Pacquiao's head to pluto in a rice bowl or how Tyson's fists would ripple through the shell and break ribs like twigs. 2012 Tyson even ! :shock:

    Well played. :deal

    I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually true. :lol:

    Same here, Mike started off untouchable & could one-punch KO you at any point. :yep
