Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis?

[ROSEWOOD]

what historians? ali isnt the best nor is he number two. ali is the single most over rated boxer in the history of the sport.
nobody considers him to be the greatest except for people who know nothing about boxing.

ali is a great fighter dont get me wrong, but the constant claims that he is the "greatest" and so on are absurd. i mean please, james toney has a better record than ali and he has been successfull in more weight classes. i am not saying that toney is better i am just using him as an example.

thats true and like i said it was just an example. ali was a great fighter and he used ray robinsons style to his advantage in the heavyweight division. nobody was prepared to compete with that style at the time. i think that if joe frazier hadnt been legally blind in one eye that he would have won the thrilla with ease and been considered the "greatest". however things happened as they did and that is what we have so......

I somewhat have to agree with Blockhead.

People do overrate Muhammad Ali. That is when his name is mentioned with other fighters, he is superior to all of them because people are so closed minded about Ali. No fighter is invincible. Every fighter can be beaten because of styles. But because there so many people that dont think this is true, Ali has become a little overrated.

But you cant argue about people calling him the greatest. What he did outside the ring is bigger than any boxer ever lived has done. What he did inside the ring was also backed up. He beat the legends of his time and has basicely shown that he is a true ''great'' fighter. So i cant argue with that because Ali beat all the greats of his eras.

Anyway, about the topic. I cant choose. they were both great in diffirent ways.
