Although I rank Louis 1 and Ali 2 (by a VERY narrow margin), its hard to find a single fighter who tops Ali's resume.

No one tops Ali's resume. No one.

No way. There's Ali's resume than there's everyone else's.....no one even close that I can think of in ANY weight class.

Yes. While Louis is my all-time favorite fighter I have him at number two behind Ali on my ATG Heavyweight list. No one has been able to convince me that Louis was better and I practically begged for people to try.

I have to agree with that. Wins over the two most ferocious punchers in history hands down, Liston and Foreman. Win over the hardest hitter in history, Earnie Shavers. Wins over possibly the best pressure fighter in heavyweight history, Joe Frazier. Wins over the best heavyweight boxer-counter Ken Norton. Wins over the cagiest fighter in Heavyweight history Jimmy Young. Win over one of the best boxer-punchers in history, Ron Lyle. Win against a man who had possibly the best chin in heavyweight history, George Chuvalo....And many others...You just cannot hold a candle stick to that ****. Noone can in history from any division I would say.

I'm not sure, but I think he may have meant All-Time as in P4P and not just HW (because you said "ANY weight class").

I feel the same about Louis, though. He's my personal favorite heavyweight of any era, but it's impossible to find a valid argument for placing his Greatness above Ali's.

Only if being wrong is just.
