It is difficult to compare the two because of their different spheres of influence. However Cleopatra is probably more famous than Mike Tyson because 1) she's been around longer (two thousand years +) and generations have known about her. 2) Cleopatra has been and is known world wide, and 3) much myth has grown up around her. Mike Tyson is a modern celebrity. Although he's famous and well known even in non-sport circles, he does not have the aura of mystery and misconception surrounding him as does Cleo.
