Chris Eubank: "Ali the best P4P fighter ever!"

[coghaugen]

Sugar Ray Robinson is certainly one of the best. But I think, in a subjective sense, that Muhammad Ali is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the history of boxing.

Why Ali...

Great character, great courage - the signs of a great champion. The fact he was 60, 70 pounds heavier and as much a stylish boxer as Sugar Ray Robinson. Just all-around technical ring generalship (makes him the best). He could take out the most intimidating fighters in the world with one punch or a combination of punches. This man had it all.

Thoughts?

Eubank is wrong.
Ali couldn't deal with a jab.

I guess heavyweights never get the term of being a great P4P fighter because they never move down to another division.

Just like Wlad now, he's dominating a division, but doesn't make it into the Top 10 P4P.

There's always the argument that Ali was the better fighter than SRR. However, SRR traveling up and down weightclasses beating top fighters is what a real P4P king does.

SRR fought in different wieght division but ali didnt but granted he was a light heavy as a amatuer but stil as a pro always a heavywieght.

i love ali, he beat the best heavyweight comp in history but no.his in fighting was sub par.ray on the other hand could do everything, and beat countless hall of famers.

Why Ali...

NO...

SRR is P4P # 1 in the history of the sport

Ali could b second or third, not first though. A HW in the top three, that shows how great you were.

How could Ali not deal with the jab?

Liston was known to have one of the best jabs in histroy and Ali nullified it and destroyed him

Terell had a GREAT jab and Ali dusted him with eaase.
