RE: Holly Holm signs with UFC
Viper,
That's true, but Tyson was also what 8-9 years past his prime when Rousey is (was) undefeated IN her prime. Rousey also never made it to the level of Tyson's stature; I remember reading years ago that you could show a picture of Tyson to someone in a third world country that's never before seen a TV and a good percentage of them could identify Tyson from the picture. Tyson was one of those rare 10's on the popularity scale like a Jordan or a Woods or an Ali so I'm not suggesting Rousey was there. However, a greater disparity existed between Rousey/Holm's recognition than did Tyson/Holyfield. Say Tyson was a 10, Holyfield was probably a solid 7. Say we put Rousey at a 6 or 7 (similar to Holyfield) no doubt Holm, or any previous Rousey opponent really would be difficult to put above a 1. |
