Mike Tyson is/was more famous then mike jordan in their primes

[RTF]

Everyone from Europe, is saying Tyson except Filluminati.


I can say in the U.K. and Africa, Tyson is bigger. The UK has a long history of great boxers so maybe that's why. Eubank, Bruno, Lewis, Calzaghe, Hatton, Amir Khan is still Primetime draw in the UK.

Where as there's not a professional b'ball league in the UK and American b'ball isn't even a regular on the biggest sports channels over there.

In the U.K. the nation mourned when Mike CRUSHED Frank Bruno '89.

Boxing is bigger, just because basketball is more popular than it used to be doesn't mean it has surpassed it. Soccer is the only thing I put above boxing.

The HW champions of the world are from the Ukraine.

The biggest fight of last year was between a Mexican and a Phillipino.

And nikkas wanna discuss which sport is most popular worldwide?

Has there ever been a time where the top dog in the NBA wasn't an American?


I can only give a British and West African perspective. Tyson takes it very comfortably.

 

[Lewis Black]

Nah, im chillin, Y'all talk "worldwide" when u're trapped in us, i've been around europe. U want stats? Come over here, buy the TV guide for the weekend. Buy the sports magazines. Open the TV, open the sites on the net. Check the TV ratings.
Im not blaming u, or fight and what not. U live in US, and i understand ur view. Its just not like that here. Italy,Spain,France,Greece,Turkey,Germany,Portugal, fukk it the whole europe, sans UK, and in a lesser extend Russia,Ukraine, and Poland, dont give a damn about box. Thats the truth guys.
and the game of basketball is not an american sport, stop that shyt ..
We can agree for example that NFL is an american sport, and no one cares outside of us (although its my favorite sport). Dont bring the rugby bullshyt, only in Uk, New Zewland, Australia , South Africa they play that shyt , (in france its like the 5th sport)

Kobe Bryant came over here for a tour, and the streets closed, only for him, so many examples, but im tired, im fighting a fight i wont win with y'all. But its all love, i respect ur opinions and i enjoy the debate, for real.

 

[RTF]

Maybe in mainland Europe type countries b'ball is more popular. Italy, Spain, Turkey etc. yeah.

But U.K. + Ireland and the Baltic states = boxing. S. America = boxing. Africa = boxing. A

so u were 10 years old at most in the late 80s and had a perspective of what was going on in Europe as far as boxing and how they viewed Jordan...keep in mind u didnt have internet back then...

Ive been watching boxing since I was 5 years old....and by the time I was 10 I had a pretty good understanding.....there were alot of classic matches that I still have on VHS....I dont know what was going on in Europe at the time and Im sure neither do you....so you can politely shut the fukk up....

These nintendo nikkas lol proved wrong but they still wanna talk

 

[Lakers Offseason]

I never said YOU were American, I said Americans dont (as in most of the poster in this thread).


And no, Mike Tyson, from 86-90, was more popular from any perspective of a human being.

Did you live outside the US? How van you be so sure?

I lived part of my childhood in the Philippines, and I can tell you, in those times, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was the most recognizable sports figure.

I'm speaking from experience living abroad, while your speaking from experience living in the US

Throw me some links to support your American views on this
