Muhammad Ali- Was he the greatest heavyweight?

[zip]

I think Ali was the best Boxer ever. Not only inside the ring but also how he fought to get abck into the ring and didnt go to war when he was called.
But then i also think Tyson was a bit overrated and the dempsey roll is the most dameging move ever in boxing :P.

I don't know if he was the greatest, but he sure was the most popular and unique. Boxers today wouldn't be making the kind of the money they're getting if it wasn't for Ali. His style was very flashy and graceful, which brought plenty of attention to the boxing world. People wanted to see him fight. While some people liked him and wanted to see him win, some hated his "****y" approach and would pay to see him lose. Either way they still paid to see him.

Ali and Ray Leonard both copied Ray Robinson's style,

Marciano - Only undefeated Heavyweight. Period. Ali lost what, 5 times?

Top of that I rate Lennox Lewis higher. 2 losses and both avenged. I agree with Foreman when it comes to Lewis over Ali.

Ali got so much attention because of the draft dodging while the other hippies were doing the same ****. Not to mention he became ******.

As far as ali being the only fighter to cross over. Mike Tyson. He is still one of the most popular searches on the internet. Everyone who knows ali knows tyson.

Ali was but not only because of his wins but because of the way he drew folks to boxing. His charisma, his style, he was fluid and had power

[jack_the_rippuh]

Mike Tyson was the greatest heavyweight in his prime. Prime Mike Tyson can beat any heavyweight in their prime. There is not one heavyweight who in their prime can stand up to prime Tyson. Tyson would knock them all unconcious, he'll take the fight out of them, he'll give them nightmares...the guy was a crazy son of a *****.

Ali and Louis!!
