  • Actually George Foreman should be regarded as the greatest all time heavy weight boxer. He lacked good management at certain points of his career but if he would have not he would have been the most destructive boxing machine in history. Even Muhammed Ali admitted later on that George Foreman was the only boxer he ever feared.

  • i am tied between Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali. Both were great champions! Joe, the longest reigning heavyweight champion in history with 25 defenses which is incredible and Ali a three time lineal heavyweight champion, the only man to do it. Joe fought the likes of Max Baer, Max Schmeling, Jack Sharkey, Billy Conn, Buddy Baer, Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, and Rocky Marciano, and Ali fought the likes of Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Jerry Quarry, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, Leon Spinks, and Larry Holmes. both very impressive resumes. both seem unbeatable in their prime and had amazing skill set. But if i had to pick a favorite it would be Muhammad Ali, just because i can’t really pick.

  • Muhammad Ali.

    He was the fastest moving heavyweight of all time.

    He never lost a fight in his prime.

    He had a great chin.

    He had great fighting heart.

    He was an intelligent fighter who really knew the ins and outs of boxing.

    He fought in a style never seen before among heavyweights.

    He fought a very high quality of opposition, in fact I can think of no other heavyweight with better opposition.

    He won the title three times, twice after a three year exile.

    His impact spread beyond the sport of boxing.

  • Muhammad Ali.

    -First man to win the title 3 times.

    -Won the title twice being a huge underdog.

    -First man to beat Joe Frazier.

    -First man to TKO Joe Frazier.

    -Fastest Heavyweight of all time.

    -Greatest trash talker.

    -Proves his trash talk.

    -Fastest Heavyweight jab of all time.

    Mike Tyson was good for his size but falls short, but the greatest out of ALL weight classes, is the great Sugar Ray Robinson.

  • In the case of Muhummad Ali, Historical impact and quality of opposition speaks for itself…nuff said !

  • Pound for Pound: Ali

    The most boxing skills ever displayed in the ring

    Pound for Pound for Pound for Pound: Butterbean

    His gloves were probably greasy because he tried to eat with them.

  • All time= Ali

    Our current time= The Klitscko brothers

  • Ali was good, but he wasn’t the best.

    @Stone, Larry Holmes’ jab was much faster than Ali’s, as was Tyson’s and Patterson’s.

    @Bill, What are you talking about? Ali said he feared Liston too.

  • Vitali Kiltschko is the best to ever live. Not Ali as I feel Larry homes would of defeated him. I also rate Marciano,Tunney and Lewis ahead of the draft dodging Ali.

  • Vitali Klitscko with Jack Dempsey being a close second
