    I think he is one of the greatest because he bought back lots of enthusiam towards boxing and really made it a global sport. His fan base is great and he is one of the most recognized boxers of all time. His greatest fight had to be against Foreman.

      Tucker thinks it would probably be Foreman,......yes that would be the toughest Ali has ever beated. Later brother brologs. P.s They say he the greatest probably because he never shut up.

        how could it be foreman? ali toyed with him... foreman was hitting only ali's gloves, arms, and shoulders. it was ali's rope-a-dope trick that did the fun.

        it was frazier who gave ali a hell's visit

            ya

            Remember how badly ALI was the underdog with the first liston fight, he went in gave him a one sided beatin, usin his lightning fast agility, just messed around with Liston. His wins over Smokin' Joe Frazier and George Foreman, Ken Norton, etc.

              Yea it was deffinantly Joe Frazier. Foreman should have been his hardest but Ali beat him in 8 rounds by just tiring him out. Jo Frazier especially in their 3rd fight really took it too him. Not only did he beat Ali in the first fight, Ali Ali said after the 3rd that he never came so close to dying in the ring.
