    No believe it or not i do not back fighters because they are British
    I wish Calzaghe and Hatton well but they are not my favorite fighters
    far from it and i ****ing hate Amir Khan and Nassem Hamed.

    Lennox Lewis was the only British fighter i really liked
    Liston and Hearns where my favorites back then.
    Lmao again!! The same Liston Ali twice trumped? No wonder you're bitter.

      I dont like Tyson he's overrated and **** just like Ali
      but i would fancy him against Ali.

      Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfeild, Larry Holmes and Joe Louis
      they are the greatest heavyweights who ever lived
      forget Tyson and Ali because they are just over hyped bums.

        rate above Ali and i could make a case for Marciano, Tyson and even Liston as well.
        Still waiting for you to make those cases.

            Ok, you said Tyson before but know you're retracting it. Funny.

            How do you rate Lewis higher when he fought less talented fighters than Ali and was twice one punched into unconsciousness by two fighters considered average on the world class stage?

            Im dying to hear you explain how Holy is better than Ali. Please do.

            Holmes was great, no doubt there. But he didn't fight the best fighters in a reletively soft era and failed to give rematched to Carl Williams and Tim Witherspoon who both arguably beat him.

            Now what about Marciano and Liston?

              Holmes would beat Ali because he is a better version of Ali
              his jab is better and he has more punch power
              to top it off his chin is just as good.

              Lennox would beat Ali because he's bigger, stronger
              he punches harder and he fights better on the inside
              i doubt Ali could hurt Lewis and Lennox just has more.

              Lewis is a smart fighter with a great jab and Ali cant deal with it.

              Joe Louis would beat Ali because Louis is p4p the most skilled fighter of all time
              his jab, his combinations, his power as well as his accuracy
              is second to none. a complete fighter and a legend.

              Holyfield against Ali is a close match up
              but Evander's a legend and has beaten so many great fighters
              i just fancy him in this fight but maybe i am just bias about this fight.

                As you can see in the video, at an old age Ali also said that Louis was better than he was.



                I'm pretty sure he is talking about the Parkinson's that Ali is now suffering from.

                Classless, as you said.

                Ali could be an arrogant prick back in the day but it's time to get over it.
                Many people say ****** things in their youth only to look back and say to themselves, "what the hell was I thinking" as they've gotten older. Im sure Ali was no exception. But like you said.....its time to get over it.

                  Than what happened with those two youthful world beaters in Witherspoon and Williams that Holmes would never give a rematch to? And to say his chin is as good as ali's when looking at their respective comp is just plain funny.

                  Lewis is a smart fighter with a great jab and Ali cant deal with it.
                  Holyfield.....the older version twice dealt with it and many thought even won the second time. Ali is a bigger, faster, tougher and more skilled fighter than Holy, yet he couldn't hang?Bwaahhhaaahaahaa!!

                  Joe Louis would beat Ali because Louis is p4p the most skilled fighter of all time

                  Only fighter where a resonable argument can be made.

                  Yeah, you must be. Holyfield has beaten so many great fighters? What did Ali do?

                    that Holmes would never give a rematch to?
                    So what he had two close decision wins
                    he also had two close decision defeats against Spinks
                    he could of easily got those two victorys.


                    And to say his chin is as good as ali's when looking at their respective comp is just plain funny.
                    Holmes fought some big punchers
                    and Ali was dropped by guys like Webbner and Cooper
                    who are both c-level fighters if we are being honest.

                    If you get a chance check out some sparring videos of Holmes and Ali
                    Larry got the better of the sparring and he got the better of the real fight too.

                    Holyfield.....the older version twice dealt with it and many thought even won the second time.
                    Ali is a bigger, faster, tougher and more skilled fighter than Holy, yet he couldn't hang?
                    Who thought Holyfield won ? its not my problem people cant score fights
                    Ali is bigger than Holyfield ? not really Evander packs a better punch.

                    Yeah, you must be. Holyfield has beaten so many great fighters? What did Ali do?
                    Its close Moorer, Tyson and Bowe are great wins
                    as are Foreman, Frazier and Liston
                    Im not sure who beat the better fighters maybe Ali.

                      Holyfield also lost to Moorer, and lost two out of three against Bowe. He got a gift draw against Lewis and lost the rematch. Do you mean Tyson the "overhyped bum" who had fought less than eight competitive rounds in the previous five years? What are the great wins which put him above Ali? Buster Douglas? 42 year old Big George?
