    He took on all comers and beat all different styles.

    I wouldnt say Ali-Foreman was the most exciting fight of all time but it certainly was the most dramatic. The ending couldnt have been more movie-like.

    Personally his style doesnt excite me that much but I have no doubt that he is the greatest. His resume speaks for itself.

      I don't have specific list outside of my #1. But.

      1. SRR
      2. Ali
      3. Louis
      4. SRL

      I definitely have Ali in and Louis in my top 4. Most likely Ali at #2.

      And I have said before the only fighter I'm biased towards is SRR so no point in questioning my #1 pick

        Regardless what people here, media types etc think...ask his peers who the GOAT is, that’s all I need to to confirm what I already believe based on what I see with my own eyes.

          That’s a decent list, I rate Robinson at #1 also.

            Yeah he literally was obsessed with Robinson when I first got into the sport. Those stories about him at 147 alone enough for me to rank him high asf lol

              In my opinion he was the complete fighter. No one up to this point really has anything on him. Longer win streak than Mayweather or Monzon or any of the other ATG’s with long unbeaten streaks. Fought longer and at a higher level than most other ATG’s as well. Did all this during an era when boxers fought multiple times a year, sometimes more than once a month.

                Pretty much ..... He was the closest to being perfect and had every tool in the book at his disposal. Also had every mental attribute also which makes u think he would translate into any era

                  I don't have Ali as #1 but after saying he ain't close I'm curious to know who u have instead
                  Robinson
                  Pep
                  Duran

                  The list is a moving target for me but I feel confident with those three for now. Lot of other greats that can make that short list.

                      Fought everyone, some multiple times
                      Winning almost all the time
                      Left, came back, picked up where he left off.
                      Had ACTUAL skill vs the best of the best.
                      Those who say Fury is even ALi's equal are too g@y to be legit fight fans.
