What fighters would have drawn more than Mayweather in this era?

[Tarik One]

What all-time fighters fighters would have generated more revenue than FM if they had the opportunity to fight in this era?


Ali would have drawn crazy money. I can just imagine him in his prime dealing with today's racial climate. Picture him with a Twitter account and viral videos all the time. Chaos.

ODLH. Floyd has successfully built his "brand" better than anyone else in boxing history, but it's not a coincidence that his career took off after he fought Oscar. Oscar would have murdered ppv numbers today

Ali would have a 100 million followers, most charismatic athlete ever.

Its too bad Parkinsons got Ali. Would have love to hear Ali's opinion on just about everything going on in today's world

[Jailblazers7]

Sugar Ray Leonard would kill it too.

Ali would tweet what round he was going to end the fight in and go out and knock the dude out in the exact round he predicted... would have been so :bowdown:

[L.Kizzle]

Ray Robinson
Comacho
Tyson

WALKER SMITH JR
At any weight, he could beat Floyd and had way more charisma to be more of a draw.

*cough* *cough* Conor McGregor *cough*

[MavsSuperFan]

heavyweight fighters.

Avg People like watching giants bash each other.
Also lets be honest even average HW fighters would be all time greats at lighter weights (in a hypothetical open weight fight).

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I would have loved to see Ali in the 1990s when heavyweights were making tons of money. Mike Tyson was worth $600 million :wtf: if he wasn't robbed of it or dumb with his expenditures.

Prime Muhammad Ali was a better boxer and incredibly charismatic. Guy coulda been worth twice that 20 years later in the 2010s.

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr undoubtedly

Ali would do it in between rounds. taking selfies and tweeting: IM STILL PRETTY!!!

[L.Kizzle]

Would he be Cassius Clay in this day and age though?

I doubt he would have been strolling into a nearby mosque in this day and age. So unfortunately, he'd still be going by that white slave name. Same with Lew Alcindor

[LJJ]

I don't think Ali matches up very well with Vitaly Klitschko at all, so if it was over the past 15 years he wouldn't become as big an icon as Floyd just because he wouldn't become a big champion.

Which heavys from the past beat the Klitchko brothers?

Marvis Frazier, Forman, Ernie Shavers, Ken Norton, Gerry Cooney, Bowe, Rocky?

[LJJ]

I know you are trolling but I definitely think Tyson, Foreman and Frazier match up with the Klitschkos much better than Ali.

Anyone who didn't duck their biggest challenge...

Pretty decent 90s band, what do they have to do with boxing though?
