Sugar Ray Robinson, closely followed by Ali. Like someone said, Ali had everything but 1 punch power.
Honorable mention to Gene Tunney, Joe Louis and Hagler. Roy Jones, Jr. IF he beats Tarver, and beats him bad.
Mayweather is well on his way, he just needs to fight some great champions now and beat them, such as Judah and eventually Winky if he can pack on the weight.
people forget Judah was the WW champ when Floyd scheduled to fight him. EVERYBODY on here was drooling over the fight and MANY were picking against Mayweather. then Baldomir happened. if Baldomir hadn't beat Judah, Mayweather's resume would have been even better.
I want to add that I think Mayweather can be that guy. I get real tired of everyone ruling out guys of today going down as the best. Most of the time, it's true. But Mayweather could definitely go down as the greatest fighter of all time, and I will never doubt his ability to do so.
Good to see I am still consistent 3 years later
Joe Louis.
Louis... Everyone forgets about him. He opened the doors for allot of the best fighters in history, in that sense he was the greatest. But in ability i say Robbinson, Ali, more recently, Mayweather, Jones, Whitaker, Leonard...
The best modern fighter p4p is definitely Mayweather for me but if you ask me to make an alltime p4p top 10 i don't know exactly where to put these modern fighters. They fight allot less and have better training and better supplements, on the other hand they have consistently better competition (whereas Robbinson for instance fought allot of people he shouldn't be in the ring with).
Mike Tyson was the best ever for the shortest period, but in that period i would say he devastates ever one!
I agree, his power was discombobulating devastating.
It has to be the multi-dimentional Margarito. He's got everything. Speed, skills, ring intelligence, impregnable defense, ability to dodge attacks, chin and power. Oh wait, that's Floyd. LOL!
You forgot he has an impetous style and would like to kick your children in the testicles.

gotta agree...thers a reason y they call him the greatst
he calls himself the greatest... nobody called him it, til he called himself it
its obviously kelly pavlik... u people are idiots
I havent seen too much footage of Sugar Ray Robinson..
But, from what I've watched..
Roy Jones was the most dominate fighter ever
Pernell Whitaker was the best pure boxer I've seen..
Probably Robinson but I have only seen what is available online and in written accounts by boxing historians.
From what I've seen personally, Duran.
4 proper titles. HUGE resume. A BEAST at lightweight.
What a fighter.
I love MANY of the other mentioned fighters too.
Yo JuyJuy you idiot. I thought Kid Lewis was the BEST BOXER IN THE WORLD. All of a sudden you change your mind like Ruth PAul change his sex and you say Joe Louis. Be real you idiot
I can't see how anybody would root for Paul Malignaggi.
He's a total flamer.
I am looking forward to the inevitable day when Malgnaggi is torn to shreds before getting knocked unconscious.
Amazing, such a short career...yet manages to be one of boxing history's all-time turds.
Here we go man, ur the one seein color out of this, I root for those fighter b/c of my heritige I am Italian/Irish. Just like im sure you root for a lot of mexican fighters. But I guess its only wrong and racist when white ppl do it. Why arent you yelling at the puerto ricans who only like cotto, tito, and cintron????
So dont bring the one sided garbage at me ever again, unless ur critical of both sides,which ur obviously not. And even if u were ud still be wrong b/c this is what boxing is, its all about heritige, one on one, this is where im from. And come on man ur gonna yell at me for this when u got JCC in ur profile w/ the mexican flag, ur dead wrong and a hypocrite, meditate on what u say nxt time
lol
ok I didnt know that bro, sorry about that, i was just playing around too hahahaha
no wonder u liked gatti and duddy then, now i understand..
actually i aint even mexican...
but relax i was playing..
