That's exactly right. Hardcore fans may HATE the fact that most average sports fans in the U.S. wouldn't know Calzaghe or Kessler if they came up to 'em on the street, but that's the reality. But they all know Tyson and Morrison, and even though they are both washed up, you could GUARANTEE if a fight were made between the two, it would be the biggest story in boxing, and would be prominently discussed on sports shows all over the place, AND it would make BIG money.
****ing Don King here has come up with one gem of a show! One fighter has HIV and the other one is in Jail :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
I mean understand Kessler/Calzaghe is a better fight, but in america like you said if they were at the bar on a handful of people would recognize them, could you imagine if Tyson was in a local bar or club, everyone will know who he is. Guys like Tyson and Holyfield represent a time when the heavywieght division was exciting and when everybody knew who is the champ was not just die hard boxing fans.
