    Just out of curiosity, how does their popularity compare today? I take it Lewis has moved past Frank?

    I don't think he is (or will ever be) as popular as Frank Bruno.

    As far as I know, Lewis lives in America and so do his family. He's vaguely British ........ i suppose.

    Lennox, he sounds like a famous athlete, its trips off the tongue well and hes just SUCH a HUGE presence.

    Evander sounds like a preacher lol but he has a cool name too.

    Random people who have never watched boxing in their lives, know Holyfield as "That guy who got his ear bit off by Tyson", in the UK.

    I mean on a huge scale too. :yep

    defintely holyfield... because of mike tyson.. people who love boxing know them both ofcourse. but to the general public holyfield is more famous.. simply because the last great HW champ who drew lot's of people to watch boxing (people who normally don't watch it) was mike tyson.. and mike biting holyfields ear. that was probably on every countrys evening news..
