The strange thing is, that as huge of a star as ODLH is, the average non boxing fan in the UK would not know who he was. None of my family would have a clue who Oscar De La Hoya is, but everybody on the planet knows Tyson, he's up there with Elvis, The Queen of England, Michael Jackson and Madonna in terms of world wide notoriety.

......but I prefer Oscar
thats kinda true when i come to think of it. Before the Hatton fight was made most of my mates for example who dont follow boxing didnt even know who PBF was. It's true aswell that EVERYONE knows who Mike Tyson is....not sure whether it was just cos he made such a big impact on the HW division or becuase of the coverage of what happened outside of the ring.
