    Ali and Tyson for sure. Floyd and especially Hatton doesn't belong to this list.

    Why Floyd? He's just boisterous, and nothing more. :lol:

    We often forget the hype once these fighters have passed but lets recall the ridiculous hype for J Lacy & J Taylor both diffused at European level, still they were very good in America

    Dempsey was the most popular boxer in a period when boxing was at its most popular.

    The numbers he generated were incredible.

    americans were hyping lacy as the new tyson before he came to england to meet joe calzaghe. not only did calzaghe humiliate lacy that night but he totally humiliated the delusional bull**** wrote in ring magazine and spoken on HBO comedy channel that continually gets swallowed by dumb, narrow mineded americans everywhere :patsch

    americans were hyping jermain taylor just because he beat bernard hopkins. why? there have been 8 times hopkins has got into the ring and not been good enough to win the fight. when taylor stepped up to euro level, he got knocked out by carl froch and even got his ass stomped on by arthur abrahams :rofl

    america seems to specialize in these hype jobs, the media brain washes gullable americans everywhere into thinking the likes of tarver, dawson, judah, johnson, jacobs, pavlik, alexander, williams etc are top fighters :nut
