Why Ali was not the greatest

[King Koyle]

I only rank Joe Louis above Ali in all-time HW rankings.

you forgot Willie Pep

Ali was just as good as Pep, probably better.

Did Ali/Clay ever win a round on all three cards without throwing a punch?

Same here 1. Louis 2. Ali

Yep Pep was amazing. May he rest in peace. Easily in the top 3 pound for pound.

I think Louis was the most talented. Ali faced much better opposition and deserves the number one spot because of it. Quarry alone was better than some of the Bums of the month club.

How dare anyone would even talk bad about Foreman!!!!!! The Nerve!!!!!!!!


A PRIME HOLYFIELD couldnt stop that "old teddy bear"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Foreman even TOOK rounds from Holyfield. By round 12 Holyfield didnt think Foreman was a joke.


And then KO'd Moorer, Foreman is an ATG and that's undisputed.

So?

A prime Holyfield couldn't stop an old Holmes either, and lost to a chinny former LHW in Moorer. Prime Holyfield also was dropped and hurt by a fringe contender in Bert Cooper. Holyfield tended to fight to the level of opposition.

Are you denying that Foreman was very selective in his opposition in his 2nd career, and acted rather un-champion like once he beat Moorer?

Should Foreman get a pass for selective opposition and disgraceful actions just because he was old?

And beating Michael Moorer is supposed to make him greater than Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis?

Please.

I don't agree - if you're talking athletic talent, Ali was probably the most athletically gifted heavyweight there ever was.

In terms of boxing accomplishments, I would rank him the number 2 heavyweight. But in terms of overall significance, there's no doubt - Ali was and is "The Greatest".
