Ali..... He's my all-time fav. I didn't include him in the top 3 from 1972 onwards. We all know his career and re-thinking about the selections, he could be included in my list, but he honestly isn't a shoe-in.

I was torn on that very thought myself. I agree he wasn't in top form, but his biggest wins came after 1972 and that is what swayed me.
