Whos the greatest fighter of all time?

[jack_the_rippuh]

I once read an article on the IBHOF website where they talk about the fantasy fight Ali vs. Louis. They first talk about there accomplishments and a whole bunch of other stuff, then they talk about a particular Ali fight where he was fighting someone and he was bobbing and weaving to make them miss and at one point he moved his head right into a punch and got knocked down, got up at the count of 4 or 5,and dominated the rest of the fight, they said that had that been a punch from Joe Louis Ali wouldn't have gotten up at anytime during the count.

As far as the greatest of all time goes I'll give the title to me, and no I'm not being biased..

People please take time to read this...
It will tell you why Ali isn't the greatest of all time.

Muhammad Ali hands down brought boxing closer to people than any boxer in history. Ali, I believe is the most popular athlete in the whole world, Michael Jordan included.

No doubt Ali . . . but still this question is too subjective and will never have a definite answer.

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

It's a myth that Langford gave Johnson problems. In fact, from most accounts i have read, Johnson was in control for pretty much the whole fight. Still, that shouldn't detract from Langford.

i read that too, but i also read that johnson refused to give langford a rematch, so i figure there's something we don't know

What I find interesting is how you rank Chavez over Whitaker when Whitaker clearly beat 'em..
