Muhammad Ali- Was he the greatest heavyweight?

[phallus]

Impossible to rate Dempsey??? Bull****, he fought Gene Tunney, one of the best pure boxers ever

Ali and Louis are definitely 1-2. I rank Ali slightly higher because he beat the best set of opponents of any fighter, ever. And don't forget, Ali lost over 3 years of his prime. Imagine what we'd be saying about him if politics didn't rob the sport he loved from a full, uninterupted career. For speed, ring savy, chin and heart Ali had no match.

That's just my opinion, but I'm right.

yes you are absolutely.

IBRO Member Poll, 2002

Joe Louis

Muhammad Ali

Jack Dempsey

Jack Johnson

Rocky Marciano

Jim Jeffries

Sonny Liston

Larry Holmes

George Foreman

Gene Tunney

This list seems to have it the best, even though you could argue about the positions of Ali and Louis. They both deserve to be in the top 2 but it's difficult to rank one over the other.

A popular poll like this is probably the best way to come up with a good list. Individual fans or writers always have their favourite fighters and guys they don't like and this always damages the credbility of their ratings.

sorry Gasped, the most gifted boxer of all time is Suger Ray Robinson.
Ali could not touch him for boxing ability.

Great Heavyweight???

but the only other boxer to bring
close to all the attention Ali brough
is Mike Tyson. he brought boxing
to th main stream media again.

Ali was the greatest but 88 tyson was the best . I mean people say that tyson never beat a fighter when the odds were stacked against him , but michael soinks was 2/1 favourite to beat tyson and tyson blasted him out in 91 seconds without spinks even connecting with one punch .

prime ali would dance circles around tyson for 15 rounds

Tyson wouldn't take fights he thought he might lose, either. Tyson was far from the best. He had incredible punch power, and good movement (he's duck, weave, bob stuff), but that's about it. Ali would have beaten him by UD, or stoppage on cuts.

Ye prime ali would dance circles around prime tyson just like prime ali danced circles around joe frazier . Anyways george foreman and archie moore said that tyson was the greatest heavyweight ever and that he would of even beat prime ali . gEORGE FOREMAN SAID IN 88 THAT ALI WAS GREAT BUT TYSON WAS LIKE SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER PLANET .

Anyways george foreman said that tyson was the greatest heavyweight ever
