      Ali was still hurt, Dundee admits to buying time for him to recover.

        I could see Lewis and Ali beat every boxer ever lived.

        But other greats could have beaten them as well. The question here is, which of the two men would have less losses if they fought all the greats?

          He was hurt in that fight and quite a few others but he got threw all of them, apart from the Holmes fight. He was never sparked out like Lewis was.

            if a guy is truly fncked, hes fncked. to go out and end him the next rd, salts or not, was amazing.

              It was stopped on cuts, who knows what would have happened if Ali didn't have the extra time and smelling salts to recover.

                The point is he was hurt by an 185lb fighter that's what LHW's weigh on fight night. If a LHW dropped an HW now they'd say his chin was ****.

                  that was a great shot. alis chin was inhuman. a normal person wouldnt have been so fluid. and dont think other corners back then didnt use tricks to give their guys 2nd/5th winds. that didnt mean the other was supposed to all of a sudden turn to sheet. the reason why the fight was stopped was because ali was ali again.

                      based on resume and what he accomplished in the ring....

                      i would have to say yes probably..

                      people can say he's not this or not that, or xyz would of KO'd him, that's your opinion and not relevant to the question IMO.
