What made Ali the GOAT?

[Get em up]

Ali beat alot of guys during the fight build up. His trash talking and outlandish attitude was unheard of at that time so a certain amount of intimidation factor comes into play. Not to mention speed power footwork stamina heart chin and everything else about the dude being top notch

[ShaneMosleySr]

Ali lost to three of the best fighters he fought and two others who were not great?

Joe Louis lost against the best fighters he faced: Max Shmelling and Rocky Marciano.

Ali lost to three of the best fighters he fought and two others who were not great?

The time out and trials etc changed him, there were actually two primes to Ali the first Cassius Clay the second Muhamad Ali.

Cassius Clay would give any HW in history a hell of hard night, we didnt know of his chin at that time but we know today that it was one of the greatest chins in all off boxing, how you going to beat that speed and movement + granite chin.

Was Ali the best HW boxer in history who knows but he was in the conversation with any one, greatest is the bit thats bigger than boxing he was an Icon to the world .

Why do you ask questions and then give your answer to those questions? You clearly have your mind made up that he was the greatest boxer of all time so you are making a statement not asking a question.

[The D3vil]

He beat 4 Olympic Gold medalists.

1st man to win the title 3 times.

Beat 3 of the 10 greatest heavyweights in history.

Beat 2 of those guys twice.

Faced all of the greatest fighters of his generation and beat just about all of them.

Completely unbeatable from '64-'67.

Beat a top 5 HW of all-time in Foreman wayyyy past his prime, while being the overwhelming underdog.

Fought all over the world and didn't cherry pick fights or places to fight.

He's the GOAT heavyweight and it isn't even close.

Joe Louis never beat a top 10 all-time heavyweight. Ali beat 3.

[Legends456]

Remember last year when posters were saying Deontay would have knocked out prime Ali? Because, he only has to be good for one second and stuff...

[Luilun]

Fought the best never Cherry Pick to keep a Zero , Never Used Steroids or IV Flush to gain an advantage over the other guy.Never forced a fighter to wear pillow gloves
