Gandhi
Rosa Parks
Martin Luther King
Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr
Is that your ATG Top 5?
Good list.
I see that MLK displaced Mandela and Mother Theresa.
Mother Teresa in the top 5 would be absurd. The late great Christopher Hitchens slaughtered her
Re: Who are the Richest Boxers (today) not just overall earnings.
1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. - $400 Million
2. George Foreman - $250 Million
3. Oscar De La Hoya - $200 Million
4. Manny Pacquiao - $190 Million

The most interesting thing I found on this website is Michael Buffer net worth is $400 Million, same as Floyd's.

Exactly.
Tyson is the worst offender. When it comes to shifting the blame and self pity, he's still the undisputed champion.

David Haye was (is) one of the most successfully managed boxers in recent history, why? He did it himself! £1m for fighting a hyped up Frank Warren Enzo Macaroni? Another £1m for fighting Audrey? He took serious risks fighting Mormec and Valuev to win world titles to then get these money fights, and he has managed his career brilliantly. He wont be appearing in the press anytime soon having spunked his money on whores/drugs/gambling/dodgy investments. And personally I wouldn't bet against him making a comeback, he would do Wilder or Fury easily, if either of them beat Vlad I'm sure he will come back into the mix. Good luck to him.

Haye is living in Cyprus which must be a tax haven as well.

A fool and his money are soon parted, as they say.

I wouldn't mind hearing he went broke.
