Ok, not a dream fight in the boxing sense but a dream match in the world wide popularity sense. There were three huge international superstars in the 80s whose first names were Michael, and I dont even want to add the fourth one, George Michael, because, while super popular, to me he was really Pete Best when it came down to the Michael popularity sweepstakes, plus Michael was not his first name anyhow. In short, who was the most popular Michael around the world in the late 1980s? Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson was one the most famous people that ever lived, Jackson has earned 39 Guinness World Records. Jackson holds the record of longest span of number ones for a male act in the Billboard Hot 100 with a span of 25 years and seven months. Jackson has had 13 number-one singles on Billboard's Hot 100, making him the male artist with most No. 1 Hits in the Hot 100 era. There are plenty of people worldwide that have never seen Jordan play basketball but he may have been more famous than Tyson in the US, Jackson was hands down the most famous of these three globally.
