"I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest." -Muhammad Ali

Not sure why you showed me that quote. Ali did say he was the greatest. Thanks though!

I actually forgot about the Ruiz v Holyfield fights. LOL wrestling v headbutts, to funny.

Yea Marciano did leave early in his career. With his exception, all fighters they all have to lose sometime.

george foreman
mike tyson(with rooney)
holyfield aswell

MIKE TYSON!?!... Mike may have been exciting to watch but as far as his opposition went, it was probably one of the poorest faced by any heavyweight champion. And with or without Rooney, his most significant win to date, is probably that over Razzor Ruddock! - That doesn't even compare to other heavyweight greats.

I go with Muhammed Ali, because he fought so many great fighters AND more than once on some occasions!

I wouldn't go with Joe Louis, simply because he ran the bum a month club. (Or so they used to say!... LOL!).
