Poll is Ali the greatest ever in the sport?

[KJB]

dis ma****a said hearns is better than ali...lmfao..ali never said he was the greatest boxer..he said hes the best heavyweight and sugar ray robinson is the greatest boxer period

Word.
People need to understand that Ali wasnt talking about any mythical P4P stuff, he meant he was the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time.
All the people mentioning "what a personality he was" get on my nerves a little bit. Lots of great HWs were great personalities, but putting it that way makes it sound like his resume as a fighter alone isnt what makes him great.

ali was one of those special people god sends to earth with talent and the personality to get and keep your attention..we saw him fall and rise back to greatness..his career is a movie and thats why the ali movie was so successful..the man is the definition of greatness

[Zocalo]

No... I rate Robinson and Louis higher. Most educated people who live and breathe boxing would say that Robinson was better.

[Chunk..]

Ali is the biggest icon in the sport but he wasn't the best boxer ever! ****, i think Lennox Lewis would beat him IMO.

SRL for me.

lennox could beat the version that spinks fought but i don't the he beats prime ali.
or even a comebacking ali after 3 years off.
