Armstrong was not in the same league as Cassius Clay.. i have several fights on film of Henry Armstrong and believe me he was very beatable, he had zero footwork compaired to "The Dancing Master" Muhammad Ali.... Yes Ali was the Greatest of all times

It doesn't matte what he said out of espect fo his idol. The tuth is, prime V pime Ali was moe impressive. Even his jab was faste despite him weighing 5 stones or so more. I always compae in terms of prime V prime. Entire careers cloud peoples vision

It was Jim Jacobs who measured that. He was a big Ali fan with a huge film collection.

I don't think the statistic means much. What I'd like to know is how the speed of Ali's combinations stand up to Robinson's. Never seen Ali throw a triple left hook.

Ali has a top 10 opponent in George Foreman. Two top 25 in Joe Frazier and Sonny Liston. I would be surprised if Ken Norton was not considered to be top 100. And Quarry, Bonavena, Ellis were all very good second tier fighters.

I'm not considering Patterson (another top 25 as he was past his prime.)

I don't think he was the best boxer of all-time but he certainly had a phenomenal resume.

Maybe the greatest heavyweight of all time.

ali was the greatest,the greatest talker,he was a fighter just a little bit above the rest of the top ten contenders,other than george foreman non of the fighters ali fought would be even ranked in some cases the top 100

Lets see: Foreman, Liston, Holmes, and Frazier are all top-12 Heavyweights. Patterson and Norton are top-25 Heavyweights. Shavers, Quarry, Lyle, Williams, Chuvalo, and Young are top-50 Heavyweights. Bonevena, Folly, Terell, and Ellis are top-100. Now. That's 16 opponents of Ali representing 24 fights. Any more questions mroxygentheif?
