      ... I pick Sonny Liston and George Foreman fight was his biggest win...Foreman was undefeated and a very dangerous puncher at the time, he was in his prime and he finished Joe Frazier and Ken Norton just in 2 rounds, both of them.. And Many predicted Ali wont be on his feet after this fight, but Ali knocked him Out.

            I would think he was probably eluding to Foreman's ability to so effectively cut off the ring.

              Yes, it's Foreman. But not by much. Liston was favored over Ali about like Foreman was, and that's fight that put him on the map. Foreman is the fight that sealed his legacy as the greatest. If not for the controversy about the legitimacy of his Liston wins, they might be his biggest wins, but since the win over Foreman was so unexpected and unquestionable, then it has to be his biggest win.

              Then I'd say Frazier 2 and 3 after those. If he loses either of those fights, then he's not going down as the greatest.

                  Foreman of course...not that Frazier and Liston were far shots...but vs Foreman no one thought he had a chance, he did something remarkable in his tactic, combined with the fact that Foreman was also undefeated, a monster, the champion, in South Africa, and Ali stopped Foreman...

                    Just adding more options bro , I got bored..Wanted to see hows dumb to actually pick them.

                    Anyway I think Foreman was his biggest win like I said before he finished Norton and Frazier in 2 Rounds, who previously beat Ali. But I would say the first Liston fight was probably the second biggest win of his career, Liston was somewhat like Big george and prime tyson when he finished floyd patterson 2 times both in round 1..

                      I pick the Foreman fight. Foreman came out of the gates strong throwing alot of power shots and had Ali on the ropes. Of course thats where Ali wanted to be. He masterfully rope a doped Foreman and let him tire himself out.
