    Holyfield.

    Even people who don't know boxing say "Isn't he the guy who go his ear bit off?" :lol:

    We can't dispute that Ali, Tyson and Foreman are the 3 msot famous Heavyweights of all time. But who's next?

    Actually i didn't see Frazier, it might be him.

    The Thrilla in Manila is the most famous fight in history.

    Holyfield's fame comes from being Tyson's meal-to-go and his nemesis.

    Frazier's fame comes from being Ali's nemesis.

    The others, sad to say Louis included do not come close, i think.

    Question is really who is more famous, Ali or Tyson? And i'd have to say Ali is probably one of the top 20 most famous people ever, after religious figures and a few musical ***s.
