literally everyone in America has heard of Oswald, so he's more famous.
just not everybody knows that he's from New Orleans.
I know I am splitting hairs here, but i think it should be an important distinction if we are trying to answer OP's question.

the definition of fame is being known, not being liked.

He might not be the most famous, but maybe worth getting a mention. Anthony Mackie.. And Apollo Creed

Anyone under 40 may not know he’s from Nee Orleans, but I bet they would recognize this guy before recognizing Peyton Manning.
I’m not saying he’s the most famous, but among the younger crowd, he is probably well recognized.
Anthony Mackie
