Was Ali really the greatest?

[-Swizzy-]

Was Ali really the greatest or like Floyd Mayweather,just great at convincing us that he was?Your thought...

forget skills, just on accomplishments alone, he was the greatest HW of all-time.

Frasier, Foreman, Liston, Patterson, Norton. Name me another hw in history that has 5 names on his resume bigger than those.

As opposed to others I actually WATCHED his fights. "Cassius, the cruiser" was fast and trim, "Ali, the whaley" was overweight and flatfooted.

Ali was the Sam Peter of the 70ies: Not too dangerous (= bad attacking skills), but can eat a lot of punches.

Oh you watched his fights... then your opinion is as solid as fact..

"Ali was the Sam Peter of the 70's.

Thats a great statement right there. I agree. Robinson was 173-10. Thats amazing. Ali was the greatest talker and star, Robinson had the most skill in the ring.

learn about boxing history before you post kid i got socks older than you.

The kid is more or less correct. I am quite young as well but I would gladly go up against your old ass in a heavyweight debate, right here, for the whole forum to judge, if you think you can cut the mustard. So far you fail though...

SRR was the greatest fighter P4P. Ali comes in second though. But Ali is the greatest in the sense that Muhammad Ali is boxing more or less. When you think of basketball you think of Jordan, hockey Gretzky, boxing Ali.

I know what you mean. I was recently rewatching ali/foreman an was laughing at Ali, 80% of the fight he was running for the ropes not because it was his plan (as he later claimed) but because he was scared ****less of Foreman's power, even when he blocked the punches. End of the day though, he won.

Hmmm you got to remember that ali was 6 years older and 32, back in those days that was pretty old for a fighter. Also that ali was not the same fighter after he came back after a 3 and a half year lay off. But like you say, he won anyway.


I think ali was the best heavyweight ever, and Ray robinson the best of all time. Can you imagine a heavyweight ray robinson? Damn, he'd clean up.

No, he was actually a bum and knn is sure to tell you this.

He only fought old men, half-blinds, featherfists, welterweights, bum beaters and drugged fighters. Never beat anyone worth a damn. Sorry to tell you the "truth".
