Why is it too soon?

16

De La Hoya & Mayweather, as far as $$$'s go

17

Tyson for sure.

18

good list by Carson. Wasn't Gene Tunney also the first million dollar purse in boxing in the 1920s-30s?

I'm 30 years old and don't think I've ever brought up Ali, Tyson and a person not know who they are... Floyd's gotta be up there as far as boxing goes.

19

Jack Dempsey and Muhammed Ali were the most popular athletes of their time.

Ali was the most recognizable man in the world. He spoke like a poet and was a physical genius. Jack Dempsey was Tyson, but legit.
