    I consider myself more of a historian; but do write a little on the side. I just love the sport.

        There's no loser here. Both where great, and both could be #1. So far it's 10 to 8 in favor of Ali, let's get more votes.

          joe louis is the no. 1 heavy of all time. the only reason anyone considers ali to be the best is because he himself said it so often and he entertained people into believing that he was. the truth is that he wasnt. joe louis was the best, no matter what the polls or ali say.

            Got to disagree with you bro. If Ali had had Louis' personality and kicked ass the way he did, beat the men he beat the way he beat them, he'd still be considered the best.

            Granted, he wouldn't be as popular among the non-fans and the casual fans; but he ranks on merit alone.

              I'm not gonna say anything because it might hurt the gate for the ali-louis series on my playoff boxing thread.

                Like you'd let Ali lose to Louis (to win the series)

                      That doesn't mean he will win.
