Whos the greatest fighter of all time?

[riz]

ali or marciano. those two are the best in the last 100 years. marciano retired undefeated, ali was jus the best. so its a tie for me

[phallus]

who was the greatest?

For me, the greatest fighter of all time has got to be Marciano. The Rock was the best conditioned athelete in history, nobody trained as hard or has as much determination. He faced 6 of the other all time greats in the ring, including Ali just before the Rock's death for a computer simulation, and BEAT THEM ALL. In the simulation fight, Rocky knocked Ali down with bodyshots, twice, after the second Ali refused to continue. The second greatest is probably Joe Louis, he had incredible power in his combinations, just ask Max Schmeling - Joe's combinations to the body broke two vertebrae in Schmeling's back. When Louis faced Marciano the Rock KTFO'd ( Knocked The **** Out! )him in the 8th round, and Louis retired for good. Marciano could beat any of today's fighters, as another all time great Jack Dempsey said " Marciano punches harder with the right hand than any modern day heavyweight. The right scrambled Jersey Joe's ( Walcott's) brains at Chicago."

who did marciano ever beat that were in their prime, over the hill brown bomber, the ol mongoose,. yeah he was great but P4P.....IT SUGAR RAY Robinson THEN Armstrong then HAAANDZ OOOOOOOOF STOOOOOOOONE ROBERTO DURAN.

yes but non was still undefeated by the 90 mark.

Jimmy Wilde > Julio Cesar Chavez

The "Mighty Atom" went undefeated for at least his first 100 fights before finally losing his flyweight championship to Tancy Lee.

[Yogi]

Jimmy Wilde went unbeaten in his first 101 bouts, i believe.

Which has already been previously stated by Cple.

Ali, name says it all . Best p4p was SRR. General consensus I guess.

I agree

Nobody can doubt Marciano, he was a great athlete who never met his match!!

Sugar Ray Robinson. ARguably Henry Armstrong. Nobody else comes close.

Theres Robinson and ARmstrong on one tier.....everyone else is a tier below. Nobody comes close to these two.

Sam Langford comes close, he was a welterweight who gave jack jOhnson ( then the heavyweight champ of the world ) a lot of problems when they fought an " exhibition " match. Later Langford bulked up and fought heavyweights and beat some good ones. Talk about pound 4 pound, welterweight to heavyweight

Definatley Ali. Marciano may have retired undefeated however his competiton was questionable, and infact he only defended the title 6 times before entering retirement. Ali when his skills were beginning to peak 1967 was banned from boxing... at this time he was undefeated who knows what would of happened if he was allowed to continue boxing through this ban period and retain his foot and hand speed. In my opinion Its Ali, louis, Marciano
