    He actually started his professional career in the 90s. Specifically started his professional career in 1996 and won his first world title in 1998. He dominated boxing and became the game. His numbers don’t lie. Facts are facts.

    NO. Floyd would have had to take popularity away from Mike. Tyson is still the most popular fighter in the world, maybe even over Ali right now.

    So yall comparing the popularity of arguably the most popular fighter og all time to Floyd? Tyson is more popular today than all combat sports athletes that's alive today.. That's not a knock on any of them...lol
