    Ali. He's been around longer and he's looked upon as more of a legend then Tyson, I think.

    Tyson, just because he's more recent. A lot of the people who saw Ali fight are dead now.

    I would say they are equally famous but Ali is far more popular even revered,

    Mike Tyson.


    Young kids don't even recognize Ali... But Mike Tyson? Everyone knows who he is. Only because he was more recent.

    TYSON!!!

    Without doubt!! He's in movies, in news papers, on tv much more often than Ali.. and he has been an active athlete during time with internet and "the global village" which has given him much more exposure...


    I just did a test in my family with sms, from the youngest to the oldest... Everyone knew Tyson, but some of the youngest and in particular the girls do not know Ali...

    I know my family don't represent the world.. But i'm pretty sure that we enjoy boxing more than the average family...
