Who is the greatest fighter since Muhammed Ali?

[joseph5620]

SLR beat a great Duran -- even at WW he was great.

SLR beat Hagler. Even a draw (which was deserved) against Hagler is an achievement.

Speaking of "tainted wins", take a look at Ali's fights against Norton, Frazier and Henry Cooper. (Ali does not come out ahead. He LOST most those fights, regardless of what the judges said.)

How were Ali's fights against Cooper and Frazier "tainted?" He "lost to Frazier and Cooper and won on the judges scorecards?


LOL This should be good.

[No Tomorrow]

Hard to say. Here would be my choices :

Roberto Duran
Salvador Sanchez
Larry Holmes
Sugar Ray Leonard
Thomas Hearns
Alexis Arguello
Marvin Hagler
Eusebio Pedroza
Julio Cesar Chavez
Michael Nunn
Mike Tyson
Pernell Whitaker
Evander Holyfield
Roy Jones Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
Ricardo Lopez
Terry Norris
Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao

Has to be Floyd

Ali made the mistakes of fighting fights where he shouldn't have / Floyd is not making that mistake.

Health > Ail legacy

[soul_survivor]

A lot of you seem to be arguing that SRL may not be the best since Ali but the fact is, the only guys you can possibly rank above him are other ATGs, that's saying a lot about a guy some of you say ducked the best (ridiculous!)

Rod Salka than Roberto Duran.

[FeFist]

Roberto Duran in my opinion.

[Pac=Duran]

Roberto Duran in my opinion.

Pac is up there with Duran and Leonard and after he beats Floyd he wil be talked of with Ali and Robinson.

[Pac=Duran]

Hard to say. Here would be my choices :

Roberto Duran
Salvador Sanchez
Larry Holmes
Sugar Ray Leonard
Thomas Hearns
Alexis Arguello
Marvin Hagler
Eusebio Pedroza

Pernell Whitaker
Evander Holyfield
Roy Jones Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
Ricardo Lopez
Terry Norris
Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao

Klitschko and Lennox Lewis should be included and no Terry Norris, but otherwise an amazing list.

Focussing on HW separately it's undeniably Wladimir Klitschko.

That career will most likely not be topped for a very, very long time.

In fact, it's so good now, that it may not ever be topped before boxing evolves to a point where it's even distinguishably the same sport anymore (like comparing Sullivan to Wlad already now).

You put Wlad above Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis?
