Gotta be Tyson. I remember checking out matches like this big Russian who in the first round began to freak out and didnt want to fight anymore and his trainer was like "get out of the corner u ****sucker and fight" but he refused and the fight was called for Tyson. The entire crowd booed and tossed food/drinks at the Russian. And all he had to say was he quit cuz he was headbutt and the ref didnt want to call it.

For pure box office attraction Dempsey was the most well known athlete in the world. His popularity actually out weighed Babe Ruth's at that time.
Tysons was simular but remember that Tyson copied Dempsey's entrance and look and methodology.
To me the most exciting is Sugar Ray Robinson, he is THE complete fighter/boxer. Speed of foot & hands with power in either hand is rare to acquire.
Plus if he thought he had a chance to stop an opponent he went after him.
That kind of attitude is rarely seen today and theres no one with his over all skill base, not even close.
Ray.
