Greatest heavyweight ever...realistically?

Ali for sure.

If we're talking about matching him up with the Klits, I think Ali has a distinct advantage, SPEED. Vitali and Wlad aren't too quick on their feet and Ali would be able to dictate the pace of the fight. IMO I think Wlad gives Ali more trouble than Vitali, even though I think Vitali is slightly better. Wlad would be able to at least not be completely overmatched in the handspeed and footwork categories. I think both give him tough fights, but he beats both.

Honorable mention to Joe Louis and a prime Larry Holmes.

Muhammad Ali


The young one tamed a established beast older than him.

The old one one tamed a established beast younger than him.

He beats everyone that is worth beating.

I love Ali but he had a hard time with Ken Norton. 3 very close fights. I think he would have had a hard time with Larry Holmes and Joe Louis as well.

[The Hammer]

Rocky Marciano.

Rocky Marciano.

Wow, who would have thought you would pick the white guy!

Rocky was an ATG HW but not the greatest, that honor goes to Muhammad Ali

[Nautilus]

Muhammed Marciano. :-)


On a more serious note, Muhammed Ali.

George Foreman has to be up there somewhere. He was big and strong enough to stand with the big boys and could conceivably blow some of the smaller tough guys out(Louis, Marciano, Frazier, Tyson). I'd say a prime Ali outboxes him, but I cant think of many others I'd say could. Even boxers more skilled than him are going to have trouble with his power.

Ali would have the best chance to run the table against other top 10 hw's.
