i'd say sugar ray rob, from the old boxing books i read, written by old timers who ACTUALLY saw him in his prime and all said he's the most complete fighter they've ever seen, even seeing him for myself against joey maxim ( on film of course )- when he wasn't near as good as his prime, he was just ****ing amazing...i say srr

Joe Frazier is my hero, and I have to pick him. In the ring, especially from 1968-1971, he was a monster. Even though he wasn't that big physically, he had the biggest heart I've ever seen. His arm was bent from some kind of farming accident, so he didn't have the full range of motion. Not that it really hurt him, as it would naturally go into a vicious hook. After his greatest victory, over Muhammad Ali, he went downhill. He met Foreman after beating Daniels and Stander, and Foreman beat him down. But what I remember from the fight is the fact that Frazier kept getting right up, and getting the **** beat out of him again. Then, in 1975, he met Ali again. Despite being legally blind in one eye, and having 20/50 vision in the other, he still managed to put up an amazing effort. During the last few rounds, Ali was teeing off on him, and yet Frazier still kept coming.
Outside the ring, barring a few flaws, such as drunk driving, he was a great person. He was unfairly cast as the guy who supported the war, and ended up being despised by a lot of black America. This, of course, was due to his rival, and supposed "friend", Muhammad Ali. Ali scarred his soul. People blame Frazier for being bitter, but consider what Ali did to him. He made fun of the way he talked, looked, and acted. Frazier was getting death threats, and his kids were being harrassed at school. This is only a tiny bit of what happened. Dumb ******, Gorilla, and Ape were just some of the names that Frazier was called on a daily basis.

Ali would beat marciano, its not just speed, its his footwork, his grasp on range... he would control the range, move laterally and pick Marciano off... it wouldn't be easy for Ali but its easy to recognise that he would win.
