    I'd argue his case for a top three placing, definitely. I'd argue his place for greatest heavy. But Robinson was better.

            but people that don't know boxing, all think ALI is the greatest fighter by a wide margin....

                I dont believe that Ali was the greatest of all time, I would also go with Robinson.

                A boxers greatness seems to be directly impacted by how the public percieved him. He may not have been the slickest in the ring or the hardest puncher, but he could still find greatness in the general public. Afterall, it is the general public who we must sell the fights and the fighters to, so their opinions would have to count. Was Ali bigger than Joe Louis, I do not think so. Louis was the first black heavyweight champion since Jack Johnson and played the role perfectly incontext of his times (This is a whole story in its self). He defended his title over 20 times and went out and put a huge dent in Hitlers war machine by dropping Schmeling hard. Louis was and is an american hero. Bigger than Ali in my opinion.

                  Mike Tyson agrees with me in that Johnny Tapia is arguably one of the greatest fighters of all time also.

                  He stated that publicly.

                  The hardships he had to endure, and his overcoming odds to achieve greatness speaks volumes.

                  Oh yeah and this just in:

                  His victory over Romero was arguably the greatest feat I have ever witnessed as well as one of the greatest fights of all time.

                    Mike Tyson knows his boxing very well.
