Muhammad Ali- Was he the greatest heavyweight?

[Shaolin Bushido]

It's difficult to say categorically but Muhammad Ali is definitely one of the contenders for number 1. Too many factors what with the differing eras and all to say for sure. He's number 1 in my book. I don't need to point out all his attributes but I will if anyone asks. This topic has been done to death(not that I mind)..

your crazy rocky M fans are really ******ed, o rocky will just pin Ali up on the ropes and beat him. right just like rocky pinned joe walcott agaisnt the ropes and beat him? an old joe walcott and a prime joe walcott put together is still an inferior fighters to Ali, rocky would get beaten badly and wont even land more then 20 punchs on Ali, fools rocky M is overrated big big time

I think Ali would outclass Marciano in every way possible. Ali had superior boxing skills compared to Rocky, and his ruggedness, heart, and courage was just as good if not better.

I think Marciano would rough Ali up in the early rounds, but Ali would then settle down and start to hit Rocky with all sorts of combinations stopping him by the 9th round at the latest.

i don't even think that's possible. ali would dance the whole 15 or less rounds and make both his eyes gush out blood.

ok for the last time Marciano's power is better then foremans it was close but Marciano was stronger, second Foremans good punches in the rumble in the jungle lasted 4 rounds at most everything after that they wound down that much even Ali fans can admit. Some of those punches did hurt ali not to say they did alot of damage but there's no way he didn't feel them anyway you want to look at him, had foreman had that little extra power marciano had and the great amount of stamina Marciano had he would of won. There's no way no matter what kind of shape ali was in would he be able to take that kind of punishment for 12-15 rounds, and anybody that says he could of is denying marciano's strength

I agree, but even if Foreman was stronger it was The Rocks heart that would give him the edge over foreman anyday

i dont think he would've one, if you saw the fight ali was winning every round and outshining him

[RockyMarcianofan00]

no i think ali's arms would've went down if they kept getting hit like that but foreman didn't have the stamina, i'll tell u one thing though i had alot more respect for Ali's body and chin after that fight
