Don't get confused with the greatest

Mike Tyson is head and shoulders the biggest name boxing has ever seen

Search google for Muhammad Ali 108,000 results

Mike Tyson 3,390,000

I not saying he should be or thats this is based on boxing abliity, just that his name transcends boxing, not for the best reasons but no one comes near him
I get 3,870,000 hits on google on Muhammad Ali. Just saying.
Ali - 3,770,000

Tyson - 3,450,000

Ali was the first ever name I recall hearing about boxing. And also as I heard other names, like Tyson and other widely known names...Ali's name almost always seemed to come up as a point of reference.

"What do you think of Delahoya?"

"He's fast and all, but if he was in the ring with Ali..."

or

"Tyson is a beast!"

"Yea, but if he fought in Al's time, Ali would kick his..."

Always seemed to be like that as I remember it,in passing.
